Stampin’ Up! #1 Demonstrator Pootles – SpringWatch 2018 4″ Cube Box Tutorial with Reinforced Lid using Sweet Soiree
SpringWatch Giveaway for today – CAKE SOIREE BUNDLE – details on how to enter at the bottom
Well today is the last of the 2018 SpringWatch series and I have loved every minute. I’ve adored reading all the comments and chatting to you all. It’s been a humble privilege to welcome so many of you as brand new customers and loads of new demonstrators to my team.
So I’m ending with a pretty stunning box of a size I can’t recall ever making….
This one is a 4″ cube (10cm) and the lid is reinforced on the sides. Got to love that haven’t you!
I’m so happy with how it turned out and I don’t think it needs very much extra in terms of embellishment. The paper is stunning enough to stand up by itself with just a bow and a little die cutting. Just make sure you check your die cut shapes haven’t fallen on the floor during the video…. Oops!
So did you enjoy SpringWatch? Do you have a favourite tutorial? I’d love to know.

Score on ALL sides at 4″ (10cm)
DSP LID – 12 x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5cm)
Score on ALL sides at 1.5 AND 4″ (4 AND 10cm) BUT please do follow my video tip to make sure you get a snug fit rather than a tight/no fit lid….!

I don’t want Spring Watch to ever end! I have loved seeing your beautiful daily projects Sam! Thank you so much for all of them. You have inspired me!
Thanks again!

I adore this paper. Thanks for all your Springwatch project.
Hi Sam, as usual, Spring Watch has been fabulous! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing with us xx
Is it the last one already!
I loved seeing all you your projects.
This one too. 🙂
Springwatch has been great – thank you for all your hard work in bringing us such brilliant projects and brightening up my day 🙂
I have adored spring watch,every single creation has been incredible. My favourite is todays as I love the sweet soiree suite, and who can’t love a miniature box! I will really miss spring watch, I have enjoyed every moment. Thank you can’t wait for the winners to be announced!!! (fingers crossed)
Lovely large box. The whole two weeks have been great – lots of ideas to make use of in the future.
I absolutely loved this one – my fave so far. do love the box with candle and pen gift. too. thank you x
I must admit I haven’t been a fan of the sweet soirée set much… but this box?! So lovely!!! I might check my “to buy” list now and add a few things
Think this is what’s called ‘going out on a bang’. Tanks to your tips I really must make a lidded box. Of Sam, what a wonderful SpringWatch. I can hardly believe it’s possible but each year they just
get better and better, and I’ve been with you from the very first. I need to say a big thank you to you Sam for all you work and all the hours you put in are so very appreciated Sam and I sincerity say a big thank you. Take very good care x
I have enjoyed all of your SW tutorials but this one for me was the best! It’s absolutely stunning – the paper is beautiful. It was you who inspired me to make my very first box and I haven’t stopped making them since. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll be making next xx
Lovely box, have enjoyed watching the springwatch tutorials, plenty of ideas to try ❤️
Made me laugh in early am. Love the box and DSP you used. Thank you for sharing.
Have really enjoyed the SpringWatch tutorials, your ideas are always beautiful, creative and inspirational.
Love the fact that you share you knowledge and tips to help me improve my own papercrafting skills.
Many thanks xx
I think you saved the best for last. Beautiful box.
Such a lovely, large box ,even though the smaller boxes are gorgeous it’s nice to have a larger box for the bigger gifts . It’s my birthday and my husband took me to a stamping exhibition , it’s was lovely of him to take me but it showed him the quality of stampin up products . He now understands why I buy stampin up products . Thanks for all the springwatch videos . I’m new to stampin up and you have taught me so much . Thank you Sam x
Hi Sam
I think I love this box most from Springwatch, it’s beautiful.
Thanks
I truly enjoy all of your videos, your instructions are so easy to follow! I gave you a mention at our recent team meeting when i did a little demo based on the tiny treat box for the hearts candies. You are my inspiration, thanks Sam!
Have loved all the projects for Spring Watch and so enjoy watching you making these projects. You are so good about sharing ALL of your tips and tricks and lovely items you make. You are so talented, thanks for all you do.
A beautiful box. Great inspiration in each and everyone of your posts.
Beautiful box Sam
So sad it’s the last spring watch video in the series
When’s the next occasion for a video marathon.
You are very generous sharing your talents and it is appreciated
Cheers
Springwatch has been great. Lovely sized box!
Fabulous box; I’m off to have a go right now!
What a lovely and very good sized box – Made in paperheaven (by Sam…)!
Oh my goodness Sam, that box is gorgeous. Love how you put the beautiful die cuts, I’ll have to remember to do that. You are so funny, I saw it go flying and wished I could have told you, LOL I have loved every project and learn so much from you. Thanks for everything you do. 🙂
PS: maybe you should shout yourself some new scissors
And use them just for ribbon. I have ribbon on the handles so I know they are for ribbon only
Cheers again
What a lovely box , Thank you for sharing.
Have a nice Sunday Sam.
xx the Netherlands
Greetings from Canada Sam!! I had a good laugh with that flower bit. Thanks for all the great videos. I must say I have made every one of your boxes.
Oh goodness me! Super cute…lurv these
Just put in a liner and can now give presents of ‘Stroopwaffels’ Result
Thanks for a wonderful series
Greetings from snowy SW Michigan. I have really enjoyed your Spring Watch series. All of your projects have been ones that I would make, so it is hard to pick a favorite. Have a wonderful day. TFS
Fantastic series thanks for sharing
Loved that box got to have some off that paper ,Have really enjoyed Spring watch very much ,I don’t have a favourite they are all wonderful BUT i did like the sweet soirée box ,Think you need some new scissors ,you do make me laugh ,you do brighten my days xx
Wow!! What a stunning box!! Love the colors you chose. Also glad to have a 4″ box.
Argh! I only just found your Spring Watch today, totally loving what you’ve done. It’s really nice that you show your mistakes too Glad it’s not just me that makes them! Your instructions are nice and clear. It’s lovely to have some inspiration to make something other than a 2,4,6,8 box. This particular one is so pretty. I now have a pair of scissors that I keep just for ribbon as I too have had issues in the past.
Fabulous box for the final SpringWatch project. Love these colours. Thanks for all the inspiration. x
Have really enjoyed all of your creations and this one is brilliant even with the cute funny bits, when you thought you had cut right through the flower, then finding it after you had cut another.
Have loved Spring Watch!! This box is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent!!!
What a lovely box…. I made it today….and it just looks beautiful….!!!
I’m very sad that spring watch is already finished I had such great moments watching your videos and discovering all the nice give away every day…. <3
Like a lady said already, for sure you explain very simply and clearly your tutorials and it's very easy to follow. What I like the most it's when you're having fun…. it feels like you are in the same room talking with us…..stay the way you are… 🙂 🙂 🙂
I really like the big cube box from today and Oliver's painted mother's flair milk carton but it's hard to make a choice because every projects were interesting.
Thank you Sam for this nice adventure and for your big generosity.
I'm looking forward for the next projects.
Take care xxx
Hiya just wondering what did/are you planning to put in these? Thankyou
Wow! This is such a useful size box for all sorts of gifts. The bundle would be great to own too! I have enjoyed your Springwatch projects so much Sam, thank you xxx
Just lovely.
wow, such a stunning box! I love the paper, the ribbon, all just gorgeous!
This is a wonderful project. Love that the top is so secure and it’s such a great size. Thanks!
I’ve loved Spring Watch, thanks for doing this. The more projects I can see the better.
Morning Sam,
Hope this is the correct place to leave comments and enter the draw for the 4 inch box. I have made 2 orders in the last 2 weeks and hope this counts but in any case just wanted to say that it is not enough to have amazing ideas as you most certainly do; it is your teaching skills that also set you apart ( as a teacher I know what I am talking about!) -they are outstanding! To cap it all you have a charm all your own and I think you deserve all your success. Well done indeed.
Love this box! The dsp lid makes this box pop! Thank you for all the ideas during your spring watch series!
I think my favourite this year was the Kawaii pen sleeves. But it’s hard to choose, so many great tutorials 🙂
Lovely box and the DSP is beautiful; thank you for sharing!
Lovely box. Thanks for sharing.
Sam, you explain everything so well and it is a pleasure to hear your voice which is so calming and gives me the confidence to have a go. Thank you
Sam, You are my “go to” person for making boxes! I love all of your videos on making boxes, candy holders, etc. I’ve got you bookmarked and I’ve subscribed so that I can always find you when I need a special little box. Thanks for your clear instructions and excellent videos. Sandra
Have the watch winners been announced yet? Thankyou!
