St Nicholas Christmas Box, Tag and Bow with Tutorial and Video - Graphic 45

“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

Create the Joy to You This Christmas Tag...
