SpringWatch Giveaway for today – Urban Underground Speciality Designer Series Paper – details on how to enter at the bottom
The delight of creating a beautiful box is one that we crafters love. We create pretty things and then don’t want to give them away. Or we create them ‘just because’. But sometimes there are too many boxes floating around in the craft room. Step forward and fold flat box! You can make all the pretties you like, and then you fold them flat to bring out at another time!
Or if you’re like me and you plan ahead with everything, you could make a bunch of these for say a kiddies party or a wedding shower, then pull them out when you’re ready to fill with treats and gifts.
My box colours came about by accident. When I’m building my designs and creating a prototype, I always use our cardstock. Anything else won’t necessarily meet my exacting standards! And I do rotate which colour I grab to start designing with – mostly so I don’t use up the same colour over and again. On this occasion, I had grabbed the Elegant Eggplant and was so happy with my first attempt that I decided to keep it as it was and then add to it. And that’s where the Urban Underground DSP came in!
And then a little foil was added along with the butterflies, with a bit of another nod to the suite with a star embellishment. But pretty don’t you think?

Nice colours. I would not come to the idea to Combine dark and pale blue.
Wow just love it, where do you get your inspirations from x
Definitely functional, versatile and wonderfully usable! Great!
What a gorgeous box! I love that it folds flat. I am going to make a few of these to have at hand:-)
Have a good day!
love the masculine papers, work great for my workmates
I like your top decoration and the wrapped dsp. Thanks for another great box!
I also make multiples to put away, at least six or more. Then I have a large box with nothing but premade small gift boxes, so that way I may use all the same
or dig thru my stash box and use a variety of small gift boxes.
Lovely lil box for goodies
Hi! Sam. I am from Australia and a subscriber to your newsletters. I just cannot wait each day to check my emails to see what inspirational tutorial you have for your subscribers. Your latest box is such a delight. I will definitely make a few of these to keep as gift boxes. Thank you.

Hi Sam, Gabriele here from Austria. I like your small box very much and can not wait to see the next. You are great, greetings Gabriel
Love your newest box! Need something for a bridal shower, now have to decide between this and the 6 sided box from the other day. You make it so hard to choose.
Oh my gosh Sam, I really like the idea of fold flat for later use. Also I think it is great to “mix it up” and use other elements and colors. Thank you for sharing!
I do love the box, especially the fact that you can make them and fold them flat so you have it ready when you need it. I use the butterfly punch all the time. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win something. I live in Minnesota, USA.
Another great box Sam and thanks for the brilliant tip on how to punch the butterfly right in the centre!
Love watching a new “Sam” design on Saturday morning. Like the size of the box dimensions, so I’m already thinking of other variations, but love yours. Thank you!
Love this box Sam! My craft room is filled with tons of boxes I have made from your videos. Ha Ha. I am addicted to making them. Thanks for the easy way you explain everything.
Love the stuff you make. I check your blog every morning.
Hi, Sam. I’ve been following you so long you’ve become part of my morning ritual! Always looking forward to your daily project. I’ve been a SU demonstaratir for ten years but more as a hobbyist. I’m in Washington State, USA. I love all things British, so just hearing your voice makes me smile.
I love how you give all the details. It makes everything so easy. It also makes me more aware of the products so I get the most use out of them. You inspire me to be more crafty, like I used to be!
Please disqualify me as I really don’t need anything. Just wanted you to know how much you have come to mean to me!
Lovely box. will use the one loads. So versatile
Beautiful box! Love the papers and the color! Love that pretty butterfly punch!
