Mardi Gras Dessert Table

Emojinal Mardi Gras Dessert Table 

Welcome back to the second half of the Emojinal Mardi Gras party. Missed the first half? See it here. 

I had too much fun with this party mixing emoji's and Mardi Gras.  When I first had this idea I honestly wasn't sure how the mix of the two were going to really look. But I'm loving it. 

The inspiration for this party came from emoji Mardi Gras beads I saw on the Mardi Gras Outlets Facebook page.  Those beads are the ones around the cake stand, below the cupcakes in this pic.  I saw them and inspiration struck.  I contacted Bella Grey Designs, showed her a pic of the emoji beads and asked if she could create some printables for the party.  

For the cupcakes I asked Fondant Fantasy  to create some Mardi Gras emoji toppers.  I sent her the image of the beads and the printables and she nailed the look.  Instead of cupcake wrappers I took tissue paper and cut them to make them fringy. Then I just taped the ends together so it would stay around the cupcake.  I made the cupcake wrappers this way to match the float.

I spotted these M & M emoji candies during Valentine's at Target and I HAD to have them.  I knew I was going to be creating this emojinal Mardi Gras party and that these M  & M's would be gone out of the store right after Valentine's so I bought them as soon as I saw them.

Mini Coca-Cola bottles are ready to party it up Mardi Gras style.  I again took tissue paper and fringed it up to match the cupcake wrappers and parade float.  I then added the emoji Mardi Gras beads which were the inspiration for this party and added yellow stripped straws.

I love to nestle my cookies in a bed of something. Licorice sticks, sprinkles, sanding sugar or CandyFetti.  This emoji mix from Sweets Indeed was perfect for this party.  The colour just pops under the cookies and the mix comes with little sugar emoji faces.

Every time I order cookies from Creating Awesomenessity  I squeal with delight. She nails it every.single. time.  These cookies just make me smile.

Mardi Gras float coming through.  I wanted a unique way to display the emoji Mardi Gras cookies.  I wanted to show them having fun.  Mardi Gras is known for their parade floats so I created one and placed the cookies inside.

To create the float you'll need:

• Shoe box
• Tissue paper
• Double stick tape
• Beads
• Cookies 

I cut tissue paper into strips that would cover the shoe box.  I fringed the tissue paper stripes with scissors, leaving a little bit at the top unfringed. Then I just added double stick tape to the back of the tissue paper where it was unfringed and stuck it to the box. Once I had the whole box covered with fringed tissue paper, I wadded up a couple sheets and stuffed them inside the shoe box. I draped the beads around the shoe box and gently placed the cookies on top the wadded up tissue paper I had placed inside the shoe box.

You didn't think I forgot the Hurricane's did you? It's just not Mardi Gras without them. Because I like Hurricane's I already had the glasses on the hand.  I wrapped them with more Mardi Gras beads and added an emoji sticker I found at Michael's.

I hope you enjoyed this Emojinal Mardi Gras party.

VIP Swag Bag

Shortly after buying my BASH ticket there was a post letting us know if anyone wanted to contribute to the VIP Swag bags to let the admins know.  Lets just say my interest was piqued. But what to make?   I didn't want to put my tulle poms in the bag because I was putting those on the mini swag bags I was handing out as part of my business cards.  And these VIP bags were going to the party girls who's work I admired and had been following for years!  After much consideration I decided to make masks. The theme for BASH was a travel one and the masks would fit in perfectly. A little taste of travelling to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. 

I set about creating 50+ different masks. I ordered the masks from Mardi Gras outlet , used various crafting supplies I had on hand and of course, hit the sales.  Every surface in my living room and dining room were covered in masks. My man is simply wonderful when I go all craft crazy and take over the house with my projects.  He's become accustomed to finding glitter everywhere, I do mean, everywhere, feathers floating around and rarely being able to actually eat at the dining table. 

I had so much fun trying to come up with 50+ different designs. I wanted to make sure no one saw the same one when they posted them all over social media. I also wanted to show case how I could create a mask for just about any party theme they had in mind. You know, so when a party planner, stylist, blogger needed a mask for their party, they'd know who to contact. (Insert subtle hint)  

 Package presentation is everything in the party world and I knew exactly what products I wanted to use. The packaging couldn't be too big because the masks were going in the VIP bags along with a lot of other products. I contacted Nashville Wraps  to see if they would be willing to partner with me. I love their products and knew a lot of the party people did too. Many of the party people attending the BASH Conference also sell items and I wanted to expose them to the wonderful products of Nashville Wraps. I used the gold ribbon on many of the masks and wrapped the masks in  gold polka dot tissue paper because it resembles confetti which is part of my logo.  

After wrapping the masks in the tissue paper and adding my business card I tucked the masks into plastic bags and packed them up to ship off to Arizona. 

If you were one of the VIP's who received one of my masks I would love to see which one you received.  Tag me in your pictures on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.  And if you're interested in masks for your party, send me an email at Tiffany.fizzyparty@gmail.com

Mardi Gras project

Back from a trip to the beach, LOVE the beach, and getting my craft on on Sunday night.  Tuesday I'm having a little Mardi Gras party at work during our lunch hour.  I couldn't set up last week and take photo's to share with you all because where we're having the little fizzy party was not available last week.  But I can share with you a project I worked on as I enjoyed some chocolate wine and stuffed my face with too many mini red velvet cupcakes :)

                 Take these plain looking Dollar Tree masks (6 for $1)

                                                          Add some glittery fun

                                          Ta-Da! Jazzed up Mardi Gras masks

Doesn't the mask look SO much better all glitterfied. Just don't drink too much chocolate wine while making these ;)  You might end up with more glitter on you than on the mask hee hee
