Pootles Advent Countdown #23 Floral and Festive Box Tutorial
Well a little like my baby/christmas bag of a few weeks ago, this box was originally designed as a floral box. I had been feeling a bit too festive when I designed it, and wanted to work with the All Abloom DSP stack, but when I came to prepping it for filming, I’d just put up my Christmas Decorations, so at the 11th hour decided to switch it out for a Festive paper instead.
Now in my defense, I have these tendancies to completely change my mind at times, and though I did pull out the All is Calm paper, at a push, you could say it wasn’t totally Christmassy… (8 pointed snowflakes… discuss….)
But I love both versions of the box, whether typically festive or floral or not!
Enjoy the video, and join me in a special and rare moment of bow tying success. And yes, I did actually clap my hands in delight *facepalm*
