Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – 2×2 Triangular Treat Box Tutorial
One of my favourite things to do is just score cardstock and randomly bend it to see what may come out. I often have a project in mind when I’m on a dedicated craft day, but on those days when I’m snatching half an hour at my desk, I am usually crafting on a whim and don’t know what may come out!
Last time I had a snatched moment in time, this came out! I’d been bending half sheets of cardstock up and decided to go triangular for no other reason than I could!
I did a little tweaking to make it an accurate 2×2″ (5 x 5cm) size, but beyond that, it was a wing and prayer that got me here!
What do you think?
Jack, my 12 year old, wandered in at the point I was humming and haahing about twine, and he’s the one who said both. He was right!
And I did have a mid-filming change of heart for the Blackberry Bliss version…. watch and see!
Have a great day everyone, and have some crafty fun!

Morning Sam. These boxes are just delightful and so very cute. Thank you so much for sharing them.
Love these boxes!!
Hi Sam,
I just watch your video. The first thing I thought was, the the measurements you mentioned and the one underneath do not seem to fit. You said 8 1/2″, but underneath I see Cardstock – 5-1/2 x 4″ (21.5 x 10cm)
After your last post about someone complaining, I thought I just let you know…
Love, Nessie
Thanks Nessie! All changed x

Love, love! I can hardly wait to watch the video but alas, it will have to wait. I have a toddler who claims she is “starving”….oh the life of a mom. I will be coming back to this asap.
Thank you for your creations!!
Sam, this is adorable. Thanks ever so much for sharing with those who are box and bag challenged. Debie, from Sunny California
P.S. Just make one of these without the diagonal scoring and a nice size cube of Homemade fudge fits well. Could you come up with a tray to hold 3 (or 4) of these little cuties. I would use this to give a sample of 3 or 4 different types of Christmas candy. Chocolate hugs from Debie
Hi, Sam. Love this project. One thing though. I noticed when you folded the scored lines, you folded them “outwards” instead of folding inwards. That’s why when you folded your box, your scored lines are visible/lumpy as opposed to being smooth. Just a little tip I thought I’d share.
thanks for sharing this delightful little box, just perfect for jewellery gifts but I can see this as part of an advent callendar too
