I’m loving the Game On stamp set! I used it to create two cards and a box to hold playing cards on my Facebook Live video this week, and here I have created a Skittles treat box to share with you. Somewhere in the back of my mind where all the trivia answers hide, I remembered that there is a bowling-type game called “skittles.” What better candy to make a Game On treat box with than Skittles!
The box is a “pizza” style box, or some call it a hinged box. Whatever you call it, it’s easy to make and you can decorate it however you like!
Cut cardstock:
- Box: Early Espresso – 9 7/8″ x 7 7/8″, Score the long side at 1 1/8″, 4 3/8″, 5 1/2″, 8 3/4″, Score the short side at 1 1/8″ & 6 3/4″
- First Layer: Basic White – 5 3/8″ x 3″
- Second Layer: In Good Taste DSP – 5 1/4″ x 2 7/8″
- Stamped Image: Basic White – 4″ x 3″
- Red Label Shapes: Cherry Cobbler – 3″ x 2″
- Greeting: Basic White – 2 3/4″ 1/2″
Assembly:
Fold box on all score lines. Cut score lines up to the first score line to form the small tabs. I find it easier to cut just a tiny wedge from the sides of the tabs to make the corners lie smoother when you assemble the box. Use a 1/2″ circle punch to punch out a half-circle on one side to make it easier to open the box.
Apply tear & Tape or Multipurpose glue to the tabs to form the box.
Adhere the 5 3/8″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock to the box top. Layer the DSP on top of this.
Stamp the chess piece image to the 4″ x 3″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Color some of the chess pieces with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends marker. Crop the piece with the label die from the tasteful Labels dies. Adhere to the box top with dimensionals, placing it slightly higher than center. See photo for placement.
Crop two small flags from the Tasteful Labels dies using Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Adhere to the box top at the sides of the stamped image piece. You may have to trim the flat ends of the flags a bit to make sure they don’t stick out from the edge of the box.
Use Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the greeting onto the 1/2″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Trim the ends as desired and use dimensionals to adhere to the box top.

I also used a 1/2″ circle punch to complete this project. (I purchased the Skittles box at Walmart!)
