Petaloo blog hop with special guests, Graphic 45 and Xyron.

I'm Jennifer Snyder - welcome to my blog. This is a special blog hop with Graphic 45, Xyron and Petaloo and spans several days so make sure you catch all the art on display. A great place to start is at the Petaloo blog, found here.

As you scroll through this post, I'm sure you'll be able to see the fun and creative joy I had with all these wonderful manufacturers.

I made a matching wooden box/card gift set. My inspiration for the set was taken from the Graphic 45, St Nicholas collection - the traditional Christmas colors and imagery but with a marvelous twist. I found the bits of black in the paper and matching embellishments so alluring. I had a black wooden cigar box in my stash and it finally needed to be used. A divine pairing I must say!

Here's a look at the Graphic 45 "St Nicholas" collection so you can get a feel for those traditional colors and imagery...just with Graphic 45's world famous twist.

This is a close look at the box. The front is adorned with Petaloo Flowers - Darjeeling Mini Poinsettias in Red nestled in the Petaloo Vintage Velvet Holly Leaves - surrounding Graphic45 - St Nicholas collection's chipboard.

Below is the top view of the box - my "helicopter view" as I like to call it. My gold accent choices really make that red and black of the paper and Petaloo flowers pop.

Once again a Graphic 45 chipboard piece is used as a wreath adorned with Petaloo florals -Petaloo Flowers - Regal Velvet Poinsettia in Red and Petaloo's Pine Pick w/Cones and Berries .

This is the card that I created to go with the gift box. I used similar elements from the box to create cohesiveness - like the Graphic45 - St Nicholas chipboard, Petaloo Holly Leaves and the Poinsettia. I used the berries from the Petaloo Pinecone Pick.

I used the Xyron Tape Runner to help assemble the layers of the card. the tape runner glides along the paper with super ease.

Now for the inside of the gussied-up cigar box. I grabbed Xyron's 3" Disposable Sticker Maker to adhere the Graphic 45 Die Cuts. This was a fun process as well.

And one last look at the gift set from the inside.

Thanks for being a part of this blog hop between Petaloo ,
Graphic 45 and Xyron.
