Blog Tour All About Food

Food plays a big role in most celebrations in my family.  So here are some ideas for you that all revolve around food!

These canisters are going to be a Christmas gift for my mom so she can use them in their new "summer home" in Colorado.

Uses Sleigh Bells Ribbon, Dry Goods Decor Elements Hostess Level 1 Set in Chocolate, Decor Elements Applicator, and food storage canisters.

Create a special serving piece by adding our Decor Elements to a plain plastic or glass plate from the store.  Then, fill it with homemade treats, wrap it in some plastic wrap, and add a bow for a quick, easy, tasty gift.  You could add the recipe for the treats by stamping a recipe card using our From the Kitchen Of Set.  Or, make a few plates to use when serving at holiday parties and get-togethers.  Plates are easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Uses White Holiday Mix Decor Elements, Decor Elements Applicator, and plastic plate.

 Do you make your own jams or jellies, salsa, pickles, canned vegetables or fruits?  Then this idea is perfect for you!  You can easily add an extra special touch to your homemade goodies (or you can cheat like I do and buy pre-made treats!).  Using the Scallop Circle Bigz Die will work on jars with lids up to 2 3/4" diameter.  If your lids are larger than that, you might want to use the Circle Scissors Plus and Glass Mat to cut out circles up to 6" in diameter instead.

Uses Voila Set, Real Red Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Jackpot Designer Series Paper, Real Red Stampin' Write Marker, Scallop Circle Punch, Tag Punch, Small Tag Punch, Crop-A-Dile, Metallic Eyelets, Linen Thread, Big Shot Die-Cut Machine, Standard Cutting Pads, Scallop Circle Bigz Die, and jar of treats.

 Here's a great gift to give to someone who enjoys cooking or is just getting started in their own kitchen.  It's a handy recipe card holder.  Use our From the Kitchen Of Set to create some blank recipe cards for them to write out their own recipes or include some of your tried and true classics.

Uses Voila Set, From the Kitchen Of Set, Real Red Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Jackpot Designer Series Paper, Basic Black Classic Ink Pad, Real Red Classic Ink Pad, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, Stampin' Pastels, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/2" Library Clips, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, and jumbo clothespin.

This recipe is one of my family's favorites when the weather gets cold and it's just right for this busy time of year because it doesn't take long to make.  If you are concerned about sodium intake, use low sodium spaghetti sauce and beef broth.  You can substitute ground chicken, ground turkey, or ground venison for the ground beef if you wish.  Enjoy!

Hi, Kathy.

Im loving your projects too. Great idea for the tiered serving piece
using flower pots!

I took some high school French and my sister-in-law is from France, so I
had to get Voila correct! Wish I could add the appropriate accent too, but
dont know how and am too lazy to figure it out!
