Sundays with Sizzix: Expressions Thinlits

As you know by now I have moved to the Netherlands and have just arrived in my new (and very tiny) apartment. While I get settled and get my stampin' space set up,  I have given myself permission to pass on creating a Sundays with Sizzix video tutorial this week. But I won't let you down! Although I won't be creating a video tutorial, I will post a project idea created by one of Stampin' Up!s concept artists that uses a Big Shot and Expression Thinlits:

And here's how to make this beautiful box:

Instructions

1. Cut a piece of the Window Sheet to 6-7/8" x 10". Score lengthwise from the top of the sheet at 2-1/2", 4-3/4", 7-1/4", and 9-1/2".
2. Cut a piece of White Vellum Cardstock to 6-7/8" x 2-1/2".
3. Punch circles from Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Soft Sky Cardstock and Gold Foil Sheets using the 1/2" Circle Punch. Put the circles between the White Vellum Cardstock piece and the third section of the scored Window Sheet. Sew around the White Vellum Cardstock to keep the circles inside.
4. Fold the Window Sheet at the score lines and adhere the ends to make a sleeve for the box.
5. Fill the box with the treats and slide the Window Sheet sleeve over the box.
6. Using the Big Shot and the Expressions Thinlits Dies, cut "Thankful" from the Gold Foil Sheets.
7. Adhere the "Thankful" to the front of the Window Sheet sleeve.
8. Stamp "For you" in Crisp Cantaloupe ink on Whisper White Cardstock.
9. Using the Big Shot and the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies, cut out the stamped "For you."
10. Tie a strip of Whisper White Baker's Twine around the box.
11. Adhere the "For you" banner over the twine.
12. Adhere a 1" strip of washi tape over each edge of the Window Sheet sleeve to secure the sleeve to the box.
