The "Pot of Happiness" Showcase die set contains 32 different dies which you can use to make a 3D flower pot with flowers or a cone with ice cream, both with a mechanism to move a little label up and down inside the pot.
I'm showing you how to make a flower pot with flowers here but you can see how I made the ice cream come and also how I die cut it slightly differently in my video here
