My project is a sweet little Watermelon favor basket filled with M&Ms…now who wouldn't like to get this sweet treat?  It really was pretty quick to put together, too, with the help of my Big Shot!

 

 

I used the 3" inch Circle Die to make the Real Red Patterns DSP layer and the 3 1/2" Circle Die to make the Garden Green layer.  The Whisper White layer I did cut at 3 1/4" with my Circle Scissors Tool.  You only need to make one or each, then cut it in half for the other side of the favor basket.  Then I made a simple box to go between the two half circles and it holds my small cello bag of candy.  The watermelon seeds are the smallest heart on the Heart to Heart punch, cut in half, then highlighted with a white gel pen.  The handle is the ric rac pattern on the Tasteful Trim die from Garden Green cardstock, held to the box with Garden Green mini brads.

 

I tied the Small Cello Bag closed with Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon and added a little tag with the You're So Sweet greeting from the Sweet Cake stamp set, stamped with Basic Black on Whisper White.  Here is a side view, too…
