Christmas Snowball Fight Edible Centerpieces + Loads of GIVEAWAYS

+ This Christmas Snowball Fight Edible Centerpieces post brought to you by Hostess #HostessHoliday +

Who’s up for a SNOWBALL FIGHT?!

I’m talking the tastiest snowball fight around….

We’re starting a new tradition here in the WhipperBerry house, we are going to have indoor, scrumptious snowball fights each Christmas.

As a kid I LOVED the snow, I still do, I just don’t love the cold very much.

I have magical Christmas memories of playing out in the snow for hours, building snow caves out of the drifts along our house. Snuggling in to making scores of snowballs in my cave, getting ready for the battle to come. The battle was never as epic as I had planned for, but I was prepared for darn sure!

This year I’m preparing in a much sweeter & easier way…

How fun is this edible centerpiece that you can simply create with some Hostess Sno Balls®, some peppermint bark and a fun banner?!

We run around like crazy during the Holidays,working tirelessly to create magical memories for our families and friends. Why not let Hostess do a little heavy lifting?!

The folks at Hostess not only want to make your Holidays tasty, they want to sweeten the deal with a Pin to Win Hostess Holiday Sweepstakes!

Wouldn’t it be cool if Hostess helped not only with some sweet treats, but helped pay for Christmas as well?! I’ll fill you in on all the details on how to win $1000 at the end of the post… First, let’s talk snowball fight!

Christmas Snowball Fight Edible Centerpieces

This is the easiest centerpiece you’ll ever make, not to mention the fact… Your kiddos will LOVE it, it’s magical and white so it will match any decor! I went to Walmart and stocked up on four boxes of Hostess Sno Balls®. That’s 24 Sno Balls® to make your epic fight!

First, on a cake plate, layer some peppermint bark. This step is optional, if you can’t find peppermint bark you can leave this step out.

Next, pile your Sno Balls® as high as they will go.

If you have a fun little red truck, you can add that in if you would like for a pop of whimsy and color. I found my truck at Target.

Now, all you have to do is make your Christmas Snowball Fight 2014 banner.

If you have a Silhouette it’s super simple, as a matter of fact… HERE are my Silhouette files for you to download and use!

All you have to do is print them from your computer…

and cut them on your Silhouette cutting machine…

Once you cut them out…

bend them along the perforated lines and that is how you get that fun 3D effect.

Using some glue dots, glue them onto some bamboo skewers that you can find in the kitchen section at the market. I dipped the top of my skewers in plain old glue and added some gold glitter first. I also added some glitter to the edge of a couple of the banners.

The tassels are made out of gold baker’s twine. They are simple to make…

Wrap some of the twine around three fingers about 8 times.

Using another piece of twine roughly 6 inches long. Tie the top of the wrapped twine.

Then using another small piece of twine roughly 4 inches long, tie around the top of the tassel.

Then trim the bottom of the tassel and voilà, you have a simple tassel to add to your banners!

How fun is that edible centerpiece?! It really takes minutes to make and it adds a fun, whimsical flair to your holiday table.

My Favorite Crafting Tool + Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY

1 · Nov 24, 2014 · 240 Comments

+ Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY brought to you by Silhouette America +

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…

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.

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

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.

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

With the holidays upon us… It’s PRIME Silhouette season.

Now’s the time to be dressing up your table with all kinds of custom cut goodies. Making fun wall art for gifts, making custom Christmas ornaments, planning out your room makeover for the new year… The sky’s the limited when it comes to a Silhouette Cutting Machine!

This is the time of year to get your new Silhouette… BLACK FRIDAY is the BEST day of the year to get your new friend!

I can’t spill then beans just yet, but they have some amazing deals for Black Friday this week.

To celebrate… the folks at Silhouette are giving away TWO Silhouette Portraits to TWO lucky WhipperBerry friends!

The Classic Jif Peanut Butter Cookies Giveaway

3 · Oct 20, 2014 · 6 Comments

+ This Classic Jif Peanut Butter Cookies Giveaway sponsored by Jif® Peanut Butter +

As much as I love old recipes dolled-up with fun new ingredients, I am a huge fan of the classics. Sometimes you don’t need to mess with a good thing. I have fond memories of my Mom baking peanut butter cookies when I was a kid. Everyone tends to lean towards the classic chocolate chip recipe when it comes to cookie baking, my Mom sure did. When she broke out of the norm and baked peanut butter cookies I thought I was something pretty special. Don’t get me wrong… I love a good chocolate chip cookie, but there was just something extra special about baking those peanut butter cookies with my Mom. I would push a chair up to the counter and my job was to press the cookies with the fork. I thought had made it to the big times then…

I would dip the fork into a bowl of sugar and then gently pressing the cookie with the fork creating that classic peanut butter cookies hash tag!

Ahhhhh, sweet memories! Have you baked peanut butter cookies with your kiddos lately?

Here’s a link to the perfect Peanut Butter Cookie recipe from Jif®
