About this design

This design looks down on a present from above. The box is a perfect square, with two ribbons crossing in the middle, one running up and down and one running side to side, and a big bow sits right at the center where they meet. In the layered version, the bow and the fine edges of the ribbons show gold, so the design looks crisp and graphic.

The gift is one connected piece with sixteen cut-outs. The bow is bold and the ribbon lines are well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2.5 inches wide. The ribbon edges are thin, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 4 inches or more. For a coaster, 4 inches.

Design notes

The top view makes the gift perfectly symmetrical, which suits square projects such as coasters, tiles and napkins. It also works as a graphic pattern when repeated in a grid.

Good to know

Because it is square, this design is great for a repeating pattern. Tile several copies in your software for wrapping paper, a quilt pattern or a tablecloth print.

Making a pattern

Place nine copies in a three-by-three grid, alternating colors, for a cheerful checkerboard of gifts. Print it as wrapping paper or a card background.

Choosing a size

At 2.5 to 3 inches, it suits stickers. At 4 inches, it fits coasters. At 8 inches and up, it works on pillows and signs.

Variations to try

• Rotate it 45 degrees in your software for a diamond.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
