Welcome to the Petaloo blog hop with our very special guests, Graphic 45 and Xyron. I'm Jennifer Snyder. 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!

This is a closer 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.

Beautiful job--I have a couple of cigar boxes I could face-lift in a similar way!
