Modern Christmas gift box – tutorial

Hello! I hope you are well. My last 2 videos featured a black box and some lovely golden treat wrappers. So today I’ve almost got a combination of both themes with this Modern Christmas gift box…

I love the classic black and white combination, with all the luxurious gold foil details in this paper pack. And you can use the Modern Christmas paper all year long, as there’s quite a few non-Christmassy designs too. I think this lovely striped design is one of the most versatile.

My decoration on the front of the box is also from the Modern Christmas DSP but cut with the Sweet Jar Builder punch.

And of course I had to add some more DSP and a beautiful bow on to the lid…

The sentiment is from the Greetings For You ephemera pack. This has been such a fun find, as I didn’t realise they are actually stickers! So that makes them even more easy to use.

Let me show you how to make this in today’s video…

Here’s the one I made in today’s video, along with the original and the gift that fits inside…

Do you prefer the stars or the stripes? I must admit that the black lid fades into the background on the stars one. I may replace it with a gold one to make it pop.
