The Newton’s Nook Designs Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats – just in time for Valentines day! Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win!

On my stop of this hop you’ll find a cute little sour cream containers! This die cut project is very easy and quick to recreate! And it can be personalized with a customized tag and filled your favorite treats! Ready to start? Valentine’s Day is approaching so fast! LOL!!!

Key Ingredients:

• Love & Chocolate Paper Pad
• Frames & Flags Die Set
• Circle Frames Die Set
• Heart Frames Die Set

Step By Step Instructions:

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF LIQUID GLUE FOR ASSEMBLING THE CONTAINERS WHEN YOU FILL THEM WITH EDIBLE TREATS! USE A STRONG DOUBLE SIDE TAPE INSTEAD!

• Die cut a scalloped frame for the container base, using Love & Chocolate Paper Pad, Frames & Flags Die Set and Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine.
• Trim the scalloped edge from both short sides of the die cut frame. I used Tonic Studios – Tim Holtz – 8.5 Inch Comfort Trimmer.
• Score both long scalloped edges at 3/8″ mark.
• Apply 1/4″ double side tape from the back on both long sides of the frame plus on one short side. Do not remove the r!elease paper!
• Start assembling the container by glueing together the short edges of the frame to form a tube.
• Then seal one scalloped edge.
• Fill in the container with your sweet treats and seal the second scalloped edge rotating the container at 90 degrees.
• Create the decorative tags, using Circle Frames Die Set and Heart Frames Die Set.
• Punch a hole in each tag and tie a twine in a bow.
• Adhere the tags to the containers with any adhesive you have on hand.
• Share the handmade kindness by giving the sweet containers to the loved ones!!!
