Each one should use whatever gift he has
received to serve others, faithfully
administering God's grace in its various forms.

Petal Cone Die Ideas

I'll be honest...when I first saw the petal cone die in the Occassions Mini, it didn't really catch my eye. But I've seen lots of ideas online and now I love it! Here are just a few different ways of using it.

 It makes a great treat holder and is super fast to make if you need a lot of them from friends, coworkers, etc. Crimping some scraps of old olive card stock is a quick way of making 'grass'.
 Another variation is to trim the pointed ends off of the petal cone and can fold it in to a super cute box! It's a great way to get another use out of a die. You can fool everyone into thinking you spent so much time and money on different projects when really all you need is one die for your Big Shot :)

  1. The carrots are cute ... thinking of them filled with orange jelly beans.

    The treat holder is awesome ... can't go wrong with chocolate.

    Little box is precious!

    Now you say a person might only need one die for their Big Shot!!
