Cafe Bags and Popcorn



I used popcorn at Thanksgiving for my tablescape and had a whole bunch just sitting in my pantry.  So I looked up how to dye popcorn and who would have guessed how easy and fun it was!
As you can see it turned out so pretty!  Once popped it will be red and green!  What a fun gift to give.
I used our Cafe Bags to put them in and then added a tag made from the Holiday Home set.




Now, how do you make the popcorn you say?
Take a ziplock bag and fill it half full of water.
I added 6 cups of popcorn per bag. Then  just
as you dye Easter eggs you will dye the popcorn by
adding vinegar and food coloring.   I added 1 T of vinegar per
cup of popcorn and the same for the food coloring.  Close bag and let sit overnight turning over the bag as often as you want.



Next day using a slotted spoon put the popcorn on a cookie sheet and put into the oven at 150 degrees for an hour to dry. Make sure and rinse your popcorn well before drying to remove the vinegar.
You can see in this picture how well the popcorn takes on the colors.  Also in the above photo where I mixed the two colors together.  They are soooo festive!

Kraft Boxes


Just getting some packaging completed for gifts. These are our new 2 x 2" kraft boxes.  So sweet and small.  
I embossed in white embossing powder on black basic cardstock and added our new sequins and a rhinestone on top of the sequin for the tag.  


I embossed the boxes by using our embossing folders.  I used the Polka Dot and the Chevron design to.  They turned out great!

Winter Wonderland

Samara, Carol and  I

Yesterday was an amazing day! What a perfect way to start of the holiday season!  My downline and I  hosted a Stampin Up! table at the 20th annual Seattle Symphony Winter Wonderland holiday muscial salute at the festive Sheraton in Seattle.  This is an annual event that boasts fabulous pop up gift shops, a luncheon, and a concert of seasonal favorites by Principal Pops conductor Jeff Tyzik and the Seattle Symphony.  Also performing the Northwest Boys choir apprentices.  All contributions benefit the Seattle Symphony Players' Pension Plan.  It was a great way to give back to a community that gives so much musical pleasure to all.


Here was our fabulous lunch



and the amazing Seattle Symphony playing seasonal favorites
