I’m finally sharing the hexagonal box that I made with the Window Box Thinlits Dies – I started this a while ago but got sidetracked by the gorgeous piece that cuts out the top and made a card instead! And of course I couldn’t just make a plain box; I had to line it.

Here’s the Stampin’ Up! video showing how to make the box.

I cut out my box pieces twice in sweet sugarplum and then cut out the beautiful pattern on the top and the dots on all 6 sides. To line it, I used a piece of blushing bride and cut out the main box piece once. I then used my stampin’ trimmer to reduce the size of all edges, folded the score lines and ended up with a liner for half of the box. I then cut just three sides and cut that down too. Fast fuse was perfect for attaching the liner by putting the glue down the seams where there was no decoration. After I’d put the box together, I needed a few glue dots on the top to ensure everything was glued down properly. I didn’t add a bottom to the liner so there’s a nice contrast inside as well as on the outside. It’s a good size box – 2 inches tall and 3 1/4 inches across from side to side or 3 1/2 inches from point to point.
