This month's Kitchen Sink Stamps Project of the Month is the treat box which I shared with the ladies at the Multi Step Workshop last Saturday in Pearland. With Christmas gift giving right around the corner, I wanted a fun way to share some of my homemade Texas treats with friends and neighbors! Those who like it mild will be getting Texas Trash and those who like it wild will be getting Texas Firecrackers, both of which are popular snacks here in Texas around the holidays.

This simple box is created from a single sheet of heavy weight kraft cardstock using the template below.

The pieces were cut, scored, and stamped with background images. I used layer one of Multi Step Longhorn which is being released today stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa stamped off once, layer one of the small horseshoe from Multi Step Horseshoes stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa, and layer 2 on one of the stars from Multi Step Ornament and Stars stamped in SU Riding Hood Red. I added Scor-Tape to the folded tabs to hold the box securely together.

 Next the front and back panels were attached to the bottom of the box with the Scor-Tape.

 

The scored lines were folded in creating the sides of the box. Two side tabs were attached to the front of the box.

The other two were attached to the back panel completing the box.

 

The treat in a cello bag was placed in the box. I then added a band of embossed cardstock which looks like tooled leather to decorate the bottom edge of the box. Rope, stars, and a mini cow bell were attached to close the top of the box through the punched handles using red bandanna ribbon.

The image on the front of the box is from Multi Step Cowboy Boots. I stamped the boots as follows:

layer 4 - Memento Rich Cocoa stamped off once

layer 3 - Memento Potter's Clay

layer 2 - Memento Summer Sky stamped off once

layer 1 - Memento Desert Sand 

layer 5 -Memento Rich Cocoa

The sentiment was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa with the word Cowboy stamped in  Memento Pearlesence Beige.

Here is more of the fun I have been having with these fabulous sets:

And one last one for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers!
