St Nicholas Gift Box, Tag, and Bow Tutorial with Video
By Pam Bray
“I love having coordinating bags, tags, boxes, cards, bows, etc. for my holiday gift giving! When I am in a bind, I go to Graphic 45 to create some unique and beautiful packaging for every occasion. Packaging should be as beautiful as the gift you’re giving is my thought. I am sharing with you a paper box, tag, and bow created using Graphic 45 St Nicholas Collection, but any collection will work to achieve this unique packaging.” Pam
Tips:
Pick up small bags, boxes and other containers in store clearance aisle, garage sales, markets, etc. to upcycle for gift giving.
Save small scraps of decorative paper to create embellishments with.
Regular punches make great borders to all projects.

St Nicholas Shadow Box
By Einat Kessler
“Hi dear crafty friends, Einat Kessler here with a new project! It’s that time of the year again… Christmas is around the corner and everyone starts thinking about decorations and gifts. Today I want to share a type of project I wanted to create for a long time, a mixed media project with Graphic 45 papers!
The reason I wanted to share this type of project is to show you how to think outside your comfort zone and outside the box. ‘Tis the season for miracles right? So anything can happen… even a mixed media project with papers!
I created the shadow box from scratch but you can use one of Graphic 45 Staples products like the Window Shadow Box or one of the Mixed Media 5x5 Boxes. Cover the back and inside with G45 papers and add Christmas theme embellishments.
Tip #1: When covering a shadow box with paper pieces measure each side separately. Draw a diagram of the shadow box on a piece of paper and write down all the measurements before you start cutting the papers.
Tip #2: Fussy cut images from your favorite G45 paper collection to use as embellishments for the shadow box. Attach them to the back wall with chipboard squares to create different heights for the elements. Add flowers, pinecones and other Christmas items that fit inside the shadow box.
Have fun creating!”

Love these projects. I pulled out my punches & used them on a mini album of Portrait of a Lady I was making. They add a lot.
Among other things, I "cooked up" several boxes this year, one using St. Nicholas and two(so far)using Winter Wonderland. Einat's shadowbox is a beauty!

Wow - these are fantastic! I love them - thank you so much!
The shadow box is stunning. I can think of so many lovely pieces to cut from G45 papers. You know what the BEST thing is about your paper? The QUALITY. No other company has such beautiful colors. One can even feel the quality in it. Even when I use a wet glue, the paper doesn't warp like the "cheap" paper. Thank you, G45! P.S. Would love to win the prize package too.
Amazing designers = amazing projects! Thanks for the inspiration, and wow! love the prize, thanks for the chance to win!

This gift box is fab and the shadow box is simply a pure perfection!
Fabulous collection.
I love the boxes and the shadow box. These are ideas I hadn’t thought of. I’m always inspired by the projects you share with us.
Friends, Here is my story to the world on how i got my love back and saved my marriage. I really love James so much that i can not even do without. I was married for 7years with 2kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fight and argument almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me because i love him with all my heart and didn’t want to lose him but everything just proved abortive… He moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded, cried and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful man who eventually helped me out with spell… I have never done things like this before but just decided to try reluctantly because I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and used herbs… Within two days james called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our third child. I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should spread my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it. You can email Dr joy via (joylovespell@gmail.com) Don’t give up just yet, the different between “Ordinary” & “Extra-Ordinary” is the “Extra” so make extra effort to save your marriage/relationship if it’s truly worth it.you can also call him or add him on Whats-app: +2347088404185.
Bundling boxes improves the thing see as they are inflexible and they are proceeding and they should fill the need inside and out .
That's really amazing gift boxes for Christmas. I want to get order these boxes.
Great Post i ever read. Thanks for this authentic piece of information. keep it up and make posts like these.
Right! Ideally you described it all, that was it! Your blog is very exciting.
