FREE Treat Container

A friend stopped me at work a while back and asked if I wanted several gum containers she had been saving.  When I saw them, I said of course!  And if you're a gum chewer, hence the 'free' container.
Sooo...are ideas running through your mind?  Last night I sat down & played around with a couple of containers.  You have to be careful, smears easy.  But here are what you need to start:

Supplies:
- StazOn ink
- Clear Mount stamp (needs to be bendable as container is contoured)
- scallop punch & 2 circle punches to fit inside.
- 1/4" ribbon 8.5"in length x 2
- sentiment stamp
- copics or sharpie markers to color (didn't think of this before taking picture)
Here's one done with just ribbon -
 Oh...and you'll need goodies to put in it.  I was thinking the melt-in-your-mouth mints.  These would also make good storage containers for flowers, brads, etc.  Those mini vintage tags from Stampin Up would be cute for labels.  Oh the possibilities....
