Gift Box Tree Layout | Eva Pizarro

Hello Pinkfresh fans! Eva here on the blog today, sharing a fun and colorful Christmas layout. This new collection feels both modern and classic at the same time — I just love the bright colors and cheerful patterns!

I was inspired by one of the patterned papers filled with gift boxes, and I thought it would be fun to turn them into the main focus of my page. Here’s how you can recreate this festive layout.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Fussy cut several gifts from the “Feels Like Christmas” patterned paper.
2. Cut a few white cardstock strips and use the Bloomlight Stitches Cover Die to add texture.
3. Glue the stitched strips to your base, trying to align the design. Tip: If the base curls a bit, run it through a laminator to flatten it.
4. Cut narrow strips from the “Made With Love” patterned paper and adhere them to the sides of your page. Add a bit of stitching for extra detail.
5. Arrange the paper gifts into a tree shape. Use foam dots to add dimension and tilt some boxes in different directions for a more playful look
6. Add a star on top — I used one from the Ephemera pack.
7. Place your photo and title; mine is a chipboard piece that fits perfectly.
8. Decorate with a few ephemera accents and a small journaling spot.
9. Finish your layout with a sprinkle of wood stars for a cozy Christmas touch.

Tip: You can build your “tree” with other shapes too! Try using ephemera pieces, flowers, or ornaments from other patterned papers for a completely different look.

Thanks so much for joining me today — I hope this inspires you to create your own festive layout! Have a wonderful week!
