Decorative Gift Boxes Made Perfect with Petaloo

 

   

Jennifer Snyder here and sharing a cheery decorated box and a "behind the scenes glance into Jennifer's sneaky homelife. "

 

I received my first box of "See's Chocolates"  last Christmas from Petaloo, all the way from California.    Let me tell ya....wowzers.  What quality - what deliciousness - and what a chocolaty secret to keep from my family.    My husband will snatch up candy from the counter quicker than one can blink.  I can't have that.  Then I have my kids to contend with and fight off.  Nope can't have that either.

Sorry - no way could I possibly divulge this gift to my family.  So I did the only reasonable thing a responsible mom and loving wife could do - I hid the box and ate them all.  Yes - EVERY heavenly melty wonderful piece of chocolate.

 The box was all that remained from that sensational chocolate memory saved from last Christmas.
 I tucked the empty box in my stash as if it had always been just an empty box.
BUT  now I can enjoy it again and gussy it up!!! (ahhhhh stills smells like chocolate too.)

  

 

To do this, I gathered up a few of my favorite products and set to work.   Flowers from Petaloo by Floracraft.  Dies from Spellbinders.  Papers from Maja Design in Sweden
 the gorgeous collection called Life in the Country.

 

Next of course - come flowers as decorative toppers.
It's gussied up with some exquisite flowers from  Petaloo by Floracraft:

Petaloo Botanica Collection - Faux Dried Flowers Ephemera in Red 

Petaloo Botanica Fairy Rose Bud in Red (new release available soon)

 

 

 I added paper to the inside of the box as well.  Helps cover up the fact that I actually ate a whole box of chocolates.  Chocolates?  What chocolates.  Not me!  hahahaa

 

 

 

More views of the box.  

 

 

Keep your eye on the Petaloo website.  It will be moving soon and is being relocated to the Floracraft website.  Floracraft is the new owner of Petaloo.  You'll be able to see all the new flowers on that site.  Your flowers are not going away, they are just moving to a new home site. 

Once again a giant thanks to Cheryl Cohen and Petaloo by Floracraft for providing me such a wonderful opportunity to showcase their products and have such great friends.

Thanks for stopping here today. I value your time. 

Happy Crafting
