{Sweet Treats Gumball Machine}

One of the most fun new accessories in the Summer Mini is the Sweet Treat Cups.  I've compiled a little list of cool things you can put in them – but this is by no means exhaustive!

Here, I've used some fruit shaped lollies found at Pak N Save in the bulk bins. The colours are perfect for the Pink Flamingo papers and so cute!

It was a bit of trial and error to figure out the best assembly process for this one, meaning which steps had to go first.  In the end, I think the consensus was to punch the hole first and then (using the stamp-a-ma-jig) stamp the gumball machine to fit the circle placement.

The card is designed with a little trap door so the lollies can be retrieved without destroying the card.  However, this is optional – it depends if the contents are to be used or for embellishment only.

The stamp set here is Something Sweet, one that's be designed specifically to work around the Sweet Treat cups.

Some ideas for the cups are:

1. small lollies

2. Chocolate Chips

3. Mini m&m's (baking ones)

4. Hundreds and Thousands

5. Glitter

6. Water

7. Small biscuit

8. Beads, etc. to make a shaker-like project

9. Small bells

10. Sunflower seeds

11. Gardening seeds

12. coffee beans

13. Pet food or treats
