TGIF 'cause we're ending our Halloween Cheese and Wine Party week on a spook-tacular note! We have some creepy FREE party printables for you to enjoy + a quick and easy tutorial to help you inject a little macabre vibe into your party paperie! ;)
This embroidery hoop backdrop really helped to add a touch of spooky modernity to my Halloween Cheese and Party . It is super simple and quick to make, and can double as a wall feature in the home all year round - I actually have them as a fixture in my craft room now, spider and all! :)
We're ending our vampire-themed Pottery Barn Halloween week on a fang-tastic note with loads of free printable and DIY downloads for embellishing your vampire lair!! :)
October has started, and promises to be like a crazy whirlwind. But when the work I do for the blog gets shared or feature in the press, it more than makes up for the long hours and hard work. Not only because it opens up other business avenues and a chance to connect with a new audience, but also because someone, somewhere, has also liked what you did. And that my friends, is totally priceless! :)
Don't know about you, but I've always loved Scooby-Doo mysteries! Now, my kids love it too, and I can't help but think it would make a fabulous seasonal birthday, but also a really fun Halloween party!! Get inspired with all the creative details from this gorgeous 6th birthday party that was linked up by Vixen Made on our September Linky.
One of the best parts of my job is seeing how Bird's Party printables are used on a real events, especially when the customer is beyond talented and creative; which then just puts a humongous smile on my face!! Take a look at the incredible details and imaginative ways to use party printables in this spooktacular Halloween little monsters desserts table , sent in by Carol!
Halloween is creeping up on us. It's time to act - decorate the house, get the candy, carve the pumpkins, get the costume, plan the party... So toady I (Hani) am sharing a super cute project for you - Halloween Treat Bags , which are perfect for little treats for the kids to take to school, or you can use them as favors and decorations at your Halloween Party Table.
October is here and we can't wait to see what fabulous parties you've all been styling!! :) I'm so glad this joint linky is growing in popularity (and seems we've started a little trend in the blogging world too *wink*), which means any party you link here will also be seen over on 3 blogs: on Bird's Party Blog but also on Celebrations at Home and The Celebrations Shoppe - Great SEO too by the way! ;)
Following on with the week's Halloween Vampire Blood Bar theme with Pottery Barn, we're set on enlivening up the undead with delicious and devilish libations! :)
These spicy-sweet gingerbread cookies are sure to satisfy all the hungry vampires who haunt your house. The yummy icing cloaks the bare cookies in yummy vampire disguises, and are perfect treat to end to your Halloween Vampire Blood Bar on sweet, but spooky note!
This theme was inspired by my newest printable collection – a “Red Riding Hood” Inspired Woodland Birthday theme ! I always like to get involved as much as I can for all my photo shoots, as party styling is one of my favorite aspects of the job!
When Pottery Barn asked us to help celebrate the arrival of their NEW Fall collections, I nearly fell off my chair!! Not only their stunning products epitomize exceptional style and quality, but the idea of working with Pottery Barn is just a dream come true!! Needless to say, I'm beyond delighted to let you know we'll be partnering up with all this week to bring you lots of fabulous Halloween party ideas, starting with today's post on how to style a Halloween Blood Bar !!
This giveaway is now closed! One Way Novelties is a party supplies and novelty store, dedicated to distributing fun and exciting products at wholesale and bulk prices. And today you'll have the chance to win a fabulous $100 Shopping Spree to spend on anything you like at their online store!!
Not sure if you know, but earlier this year started catering for those impromptu and last minute parties with our " Instant Download " party printables. Basically, they do exactly what it says on the tin - You pay and simply "walk away" with your printable download. No waiting. No queuing. No fuss. Which means you can shop 24/7 and get these printable goodies any time of day (whatever your timezone!). And because these instant download printables have been so popular, we decided to add a few more to the shop!! Woo-Hoo, did you say?! :)
The title of the post is a bit of a mouthful - in many ways than one! These candy-corn chocolate covered Oreo cookies are really simple to make (despite the long title). They look super fabulous as a Halloween gift, party favor, or desserts table treat. But most importantly, they taste absolutely scrumptious!! It's also a great recipe or Halloween project to make with the kids . I made them with my 6 year old, so if she can do this, then I'm sure anyone can! ;)
Happy Monday sweet friends!! So beyond excited to share today's post with you! Not only it is packed with sweetness and fabulous ideas on how to style a Halloween Candy Buffet , but we're also welcoming our newest blog contributor, Candy Galaxy
This giveaway is now closed! Last week I shared a scrumptious chocolate macaron recipe from our Mindy's new ' Gourmet French Macarons' book here on the blog. And today I'm delighted to announce we're giving an e-copy away to one lucky reader!!
I love a nice pair...of pears. And this poached pears recipe is so delicious but really easy to make. And looks like you really pushed the boat out! This is the perfect autumnal dessert for a dinner party, or just because! It's also great paired with cream, ice cream or shortbread cookies for a Thanksgiving sweet course for the whole family!
The people at PEOPLE have recently asked me to test-drive their new CelebFood app and Great Ideas Channel , (I was thrilled to say the least) but also giddy to share all the juicy deets with you!
Though I love cupcakes, cakes have a really special place in my heart too. And a cake bunting in my opinion, is a quick and fun way to make any simple cake look totally adorable and unique! Take a look at 3 super simple ideas (that use stuff most of us have at home...) + step-by-step below...
Who says Halloween is all about the sweet stuff?! I'm not too keen on candy myself (I know, shock horror!), so I was thrilled to be able to style something different for Halloween this year - A Chilling Chili Halloween Buffet! I love working with YUM Food and Fun for Kids Magazine , and my Halloween Chili Bar is now in their October Issue - The article is 8 pages long with easy ideas and recipes on re-creating this chili bar for Halloween!
TGIF, right?! It's been a real crazy week - Between working on a really fun article for All You Magazine , another super duper project that I can't wait to share with you (Eeek!!), and trying to help with finishing touches to the special edition of the Magazine , it's been hard getting posts out on a daily basis... So, until I can properly spill the beans on all of the above, I wanted to invite you to follow along on Instagram . Why? Because that's where you'll most likely get the hot news first, since my phone is now my bestie and doesn't leave my side.
I can't begin to tell you how excited and proud I am of my dear, beautiful, talented friend, and one of our blog contributors; Mindy from Creative Juice !! She not only has written and photographed everything in her Gourmet French Macarons book , but has also produced one of the most stunning and creative books I've seen of late! I'm just in love ♥ Keep reading to find out all about it from Mindy herself...
