Thanksgiving Pie Stencils

5 · Nov 25, 2014 · 3 Comments

When it comes to Thanksgiving… I’m the pie girl. I LOVE making pie. I even have the PERFECT pie crust recipe.  However, I do understand that pies can sometimes be intimidating. Whether you’re baking your own pies or bringing store bought pies to your Thanksgiving celebration… I have a fun little way to add a little more bling to your pies… Have you ever thought to stencil your pies?

thanksgiving-pie-stencils-from-whipperberry

I thought I would experiment with ways to make you look like a rockstar when you serve your pies, homemade or store bought!

First step… If you are bringing a store bought pie, put your pie in a pie plate if you have one. That will mask the store bought pie tin.

If you don’t have that… No worries.

Bust out your Silhouette CAMEO or Portrait. (I’m giving away TWO Silhouette Portraits this week!) I have created some fun Thanksgiving pie stencils that are super easy to cut and dress-up your pies with.

Download the Thanksgiving Pie Stencils Silhouette Files HERE

Making-Pie-Stencils-with-a-Silhouette-CAMEO

Cut your stencils out of just basic 8 1/2 x 11  card stock.

Once they are cut, set them aside until you are ready to serve your pies. When you are ready to serve them place your stencil right onto of the pie.

Thanks-pie-stencil-with-Silhouette

Put some powdered sugar into a mesh strainer and gently tap the mesh strainer with a spoon and dust the top of the pie.

WhipperBerry-Thanks-Pie-Stencil

Remove the stencil and voilà… Your boring old pie has a little flair!

pumpkin-pie-stencil-from-WhipperBerry

Now with pumpkin pies, your powdered sugar will melt, so make sure you do this right before you serve. Other pies like apple will stand-up for quite a while.

And… They look amazing!!

 All three of these pies are from the store, and they don’t look boring anymore!

If you have a Silhouette cutting machine… this is a fun way to dress-up any pie.

This is reason #586 why you need to have a Silhouette cutting machine!

I will have some GREAT Black Friday Deals here in a day or two will all the details on how you can grab a machine of your very own!

My Favorite Crafting Tool + Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY

1 · Nov 24, 2014 · 240 Comments

+ Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY brought to you by Silhouette America +

Untitled-1

It is no secret that my favorite crafting tool is my Silhouette cutting machine. Each and every time I start planning a project, 9 times out of 10 I will turn to my Silhouette for help in some fashion. I’ve decorated whole rooms with my Silhouette CAMEO…

Silhouette-Portrait-Giveaway-on-WhipperBerry

One of my favorite all-time projects I’ve only shared on Instagram!

It’s my living room wall… I painted it black with chalkboard paint, added a chalk rub to give it texture and dimension, then I placed swiss crosses in a grid on the wall. I cut each of the crosses on my Silhouette CAMEO using the Silhouette Premium Vinyl.

IMG_0248

Another favorite is my “handwritten” canvas on the other side of the room…

IMG_0165

This is a simple canvas, all I did was cut the letters in black paper and then Mod Podged them onto the canvas. You can learn how to do that HERE. It gives the look of a hand lettered sign, without having to develop the hand letter skills! I LOVE it!!

Honestly, I don’t know where I would be creatively without my Silhouette machines.

I use the print and cut feature ALL THE TIME to help the kiddos with their school projects or my church projects.

Happy-Birthday-Printable-Banner-from-#whipperberry-8

I love how I can whip-up a simple Happy Birthday banner in minutes and it looks so much better than anything store bought.

DIY Chalk Paint Halloween Apothecary Jars with BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder

5 · Oct 29, 2014 · Leave a Comment

+ Guest Post by BB Frösch Master Jonelle Morris from Chalk-a-Lot +

Glass-bottles-after

EEK! It’s almost Halloween! I’m not one for the guts and gore of the holiday, but I do love me some fun Halloween decor. I have wanted to make an apothecary display for a few years now, but never got around to it thinking, “oh that will take too long,” or “that will be too expensive,” or “I wouldn’t make it look good.”

Well, since I have joined the BB Frösch team, I have been trying all sofrts of things I never thought I would do. I set out to good ol’ Michaels to see if they had any glass bottles I could turn into something amazing, and as luck would have it, they did!

Glass-bottles-before

And the best part, each one was a $1.29 or under—score! But my luck didn’t run out there. Most of their Halloween stuff was 50-60% off, so therefore I made my whole display with what I purchased at Michaels, plus a couple small things I already have for….drumroll….$25! Double score!

I wanted some of the bottles I made to be black, and thought I would put the “BB Frösch bonds to virtually anything” claim test. I started out with my plain glass bottles and put a quick few coats of BB Frösch chalk paint with some leftover black paint I had from another project. BB Frösch isn’t just for furniture!

BB Frosch Products-26

And when I say quick, I mean quick. Three coats on those four bottles took me about 25 minutes, drying time included. I then took a wet rag to wet distressed the tops and corners of the bottles to create a more authentic vintage look. I chose to leave the other bottles clear, so I could put some water with food coloring inside.

Apothecary-display

Then, because I am cheap 🙂 I searched for free vintage apothecary labels online and found some awesome options! I printed them off on regular paper and Modge Podged them under and on top of the label.
I used the labels found here:

Two Crafty Paws

Love Manor

The Graphics Fairy

For some other wonderful options you can go here:
Lil’Luna

Soap Deli News

The Graphics Fairy

Pen & Paper flowers

The Idea Room

Then to complete my display, I printed a beautiful, but slightly creepy picture of an old Victorian house (that was most likely haunted) on burlap.

Frame

Yes, you read that right, I printed on burlap, as in on my home inkjet computer.

Print-on-burlap

Amazing! You can find this easy to follow tutorial on Domestically Speaking.  It seriously took me about 10 minutes. The graphic I used as well as several other vintage halloween images can be found on The Graphic’s Fairy.

There, I did something I never thought I could do, and quickly and inexpensively! Happy Halloween!

Stop in for a Spell – Free Halloween Printables

7 · Sep 9, 2014 · 2 Comments

Hello Whipperberry Readers! Its Lisa and Pam from Over the Big Moon again! This month we have a Vintage Halloween Witch sign, some of our free Halloween printables just for you!

stop in for a spell

This print can easily be framed. But I wanted it for my front door. In order to do that I needed to make it weather/waterproof. I also adjusted the sign wording a little help it fit in with our Harry Potter themed Halloween decor.

wheasley wizard wheezes

First I bought a piece of wood that was slightly larger than my print.

sit for a spell1

I stained my wood with Minwax Dark Walnut stain. I also got out my Mod Podge in matte and an old brush.

sit for a spell3

I also printed my print and trimmed the white edges off. It is best to take an ink pad and rub it along the edges. It really ensures the whole thing looks old and aged.

sit for a spell4

Spread an even layer of Mod Podge over your wood. It can be bigger than the print, it dries clear so it wont matter.

sit for a spell5

Lay the print down and press it flat. I wanted let it dry over night to make sure it didn’t bubble up. When the excess on the top was dry enough I placed a piece of foil over it, just for added protection. Then placed some heavy flat objects on the top.

In the morning I added a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top.

After it was dry, I did a second coat. After the 2nd coat dried completely I sprayed it with Shellac to give it extra protection. After the Shellac dried it was as simple as drilling some holes and stringing burlap through it. It really boosts the front door appeal and turns a boring wreath into a statement!

You can download both the Salem Witch version or the Weasley Wizard Wheezes version just by clicking on the word links.

Be sure to stop by and visit us this month to check out some of our other fun and spooky Halloween projects!
