Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Christmas Boxes for Gifts
Follow these detailed steps to assemble your own set of charming Christmas boxes for gifts:
1. Die-Cutting the Ribbon Boxes
Begin by die-cutting the Ribbon Box from cardstock in Tidepool, Juniper, and Sea Glass colors. This will form the base of your ombré set of Christmas boxes for gifts. Cut out multiple boxes if you plan to create a larger set.
2. Adding Sealed Poinsettia Details
Using coordinating inks (Sea Glass, Tidepool, and Juniper), press the Sealed Poinsettia Stems onto one side panel of each box before assembling. This adds a beautiful, textured design element to your Christmas boxes for gifts, making them even more special.

3. Creating Poinsettias and Holly Embellishments
Die-cut poinsettias, holly leaves, and gold glitter evergreen sprigs using the Holiday Blooms dies. Utilize Poppy and Nectar cardstock for vibrant poinsettias. Cut holly leaves from the same cardstock colors as the boxes (Tidepool, Juniper, and Sea Glass), rotating the colors for visual contrast across your Christmas boxes for gifts.
4. Heat Foiling Sentiments
Heat foil the round sentiments from the Sealed Poinsettia Stems set in Gold Hot Foil onto Nectar cardstock. These sentiments will become elegant tags for your Christmas boxes for gifts. Use the coordinating circle die to cut out the sentiments, leaving a bit of extra space at the top for ribbon attachment. Punch a 1/8” hole at the top of each tag.

5. Assembling the Boxes and Adding Ribbon
Assemble the die-cut Ribbon Boxes. Cut lengths of Vivant Circle Gold Metallic Cord. Loop the cord around the handle of each box three times, then attach a sentiment tag by threading the cord through the punched hole. Tie off the cord to secure the tag and add a decorative element to your Christmas boxes for gifts.

6. Adding Bow Embellishments
For an extra touch of elegance, heat foil bows from the Bouquet Full of Joy set in Gold Hot Foil onto cardstock matching the box and holly leaf colors. Again, rotate the colors to ensure each color (Sea Glass, Tidepool, and Juniper) is represented on each box. Attach these beautiful bows to your Christmas boxes for gifts using mini glue dots.
