Family Game Night

The people in my family love to play games.

When we get the whole big group together for a Family Dinner,

someone usually brings out the dice.

Everyone crowds around the table, and we play a game or two.

Dice is one of their favorite games because even young kids can play along.

(that is until they get bored and leave)

For fun, I made a small box just the right size for holding

a deck of cards and a set of dice.

Inside the box, there is enough space to add a small pencil

and paper for keeping score.

To Make the Box: 

• Two pieces of 6″ x 13″ Matboard* are needed to make the box.
• Cover both sides of the mat board using scrapbook paper from
• Echo Park Family 12″ x 12″ Scrapbook Collection*.  I used an Xyron Creative Station* to put adhesive on the back of the paper before sticking it onto the mat board.  The Xyron Creative Station* adds a complete layer of adhesive to the paper so that you get great adhesion.
• I die-cut two of all the pieces of the box using a Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine* and the Sizzix #665982 XL Skinny Mini Book Box Die.

• Gently fold the scored edges and tabs of the mat board.
• Adhere the box together using 3/8″ Scor-Tape*.
• If the white core of the mat board bothers you, go around the edges of the mat board with a brown marker to hide the white core.

I added the word “Memories to the spine of the box.

Isn’t making memories what it’s all about?

I used a strip of faux leather paper, and a simple snap to

hold the box closed when not in use.
