Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – 4 Boxes from One Sheet of Cardstock
I like to think I’m a frugal kind of crafter. Okay, yes there are times when I use a whole sheet of DSP on one project, but there are also times when I use a single sheet of our most inexpensive cardstock and make 4 projects from it. At least I cover all ends of the spectrum!
Today I have a tiny project for you. Yes, you can get 4 of these from a sheet of cardstock, whether International A4 or 8-1/2 x 11″. Either will get you 4 of these boxes and then with a little bit of stamping, a smidge of twine and a punch out, you’re making up a whole load of these with only a little bit of expense.
At the time of making, and even after I’d completed them, I was happy with the baker’s twine on them, but looking at the super close up photos now, I wonder if that was the right stuff to use. They look all wibbly and lopsided. Trust me, you can’t see that or notice it in ‘real life’, but I’m a girl who likes to spot potential errors in her own work….
Anyway, twine aside, I hope you like these little cuties and that you have a bash at making some!

I love the little boxes. They are so cute. I love that you make a lot of boxes. That is my favorite things to make. Thank you for sharing.
Love these Sam, very dainty. Love the stamping too. i like the flourish so may have to order the set, since i missed out on Everthing Eleanor due to indecision!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love the idea!!
Hi Sam. During the Stampin’ Up! Party you posted two boxes with the Pop Of Pink papers. Is this the same box or is there a bigger one?
These are just adorable! What wonderful little favors for any sort of get together. Thanks!
Sam – I am from the United States and I am addicted to your projects! You are sooooooo amazing and talented! Thank you for sharing your masterpieces.
These are so cute, I love them. I have been looking for a box/bag just like this! Can it be made any bigger? I have done your lovely little bags for girls for Christmas and have been searching for an idea for boys about the same size.
