A lovely box just the right size for our seed envelopes. The embossed border patterns on the top are from an old catalogue from the late 1800's, scanned in and tidied up in Inkscape and Illustrator.

Print at 0.20mm layer height, in whatever PLA you like. I used ESUN PLA+ as it's my go-to for cheap filament. You'll need to either use  a brim , or even better,  a textured plate, otherwise it will warp and lift off the plate. 

A simple colour change makes the decoration stand out.  Now updated version  with 3 lid options, a more pleasing lid profile, and side embossing. 

With the Flowers lid, the decoration is incised at 2 different levels, so you can make a three-colour print.

Advanced Users:
A trick to try when printing things like this (that rely on bridging over a thin initial layer to give a colour change) is to set your bridge flow ratio to something high like 1.5 or 1.8  (Print settings/Advanced/Flow) instead of the normal setting of 1.0. That and slow your bridges right down to 20mm/s (Speed). And reduce bridging acceleration from 1500 to 500. So you are extruding far more  plastic than normal and more slowly, this will fall down and fill in the gap in the layer below giving you a much flusher surface.
