If you don't use the version 3.7 beta, for whatever reason:

If you want the same image to appears on all 6 sides, you can make a 
small box. You apply the image to that box, and place 6 copies to make 
each faces and use a frame of cylinders and spheres to make the rounded 
edges. The images will not meet but will be separated by the rounded edges.
The same can be done with 6 different images using one for each faces.

If you have one image that you want to wrap around your cube:
You'll need to model each faces separately, including part of the 
rounded edges.
Using scale and translate, you apply part of your image to each faces.
Finaly, you rotate and translate the parts to build the complete box.
