Hi Stampers,
Last weekend was my annual Christmas Card Class – always my favorite event every year – and this year was one of the best ever!!! We wanted to have fun with the refreshments served at the class this year so we decided to keep our tradition of serving Christmas Cookies but add a Hot Chocolate Bar into the mix and it was a BIG hit!! You may have seen some of the pictures if you follow me on Facebook…
Here's a few peeks at the fun table set up and waiting for everyone to get there! We had the table full of fun mix in and toppers – I made up Mixie Sticks so they could customize the flavors of their Hot Chocolate (more about those tomorrow) and then I filled bowls and shakers with all kinds of neat things to add to the chocolate!
I used My Digital Studio to make up some cute signs for the food and project tables…
Made some labels for all the fun toppings and mix ins and pulled everything together with coordinating Stampin' Up! Ribbon!!! I LOVE that all the SU colors and Ribbons coordinate making it super easy to mix and match with fabulous results!! My hands down favorite new add in for Hot Chocolate was the Candied Orange Zest we made up – I love Chocolate Oranges and adding a few pieces of the Orange Zest into the cup w/the Hot Chocolate was like one Wonderful Rich Cup of Chocolate Orange!!!
Add a little Designer Series Paper to the outside of the Whip Cream Cans so they match as well (You I know I have Issues J ) and you have one FABULOUS looking table!
The marshmallows were homemade of because I had put a little Stampin' Up! touch to them as well I used a Scallop Circle cookie cutter to cut the marshmallows out – perfect for all the paper crafter lovers who know EVERYTHING is better in scallops! J
BIG THANKS going out to all my wonderful stampers who joined us at the Christmas Card Class and made the evening SO MUCH fun!!! I'm already looking forward to the next big event!!! (My 10 year anniversary as a SU Demo is coming up next spring and I'm hoping to celebrate in style!)
