More Easter eggs

So if the glitter is not for you, maybe you would like to try rub-ons or heat embossing on Easter eggs.  I really liked how this Melon Mambo and Summer Sun combination looks with Planter Box rub-ons.  The package includes Whisper White and Chocolate Chip rub-ons which were just perfect for this little basket of eggs.  Or if you want a quick but eye catching display for your holiday table, try writing everyone's names on an egg with a VersaMarker and heat embossing it.  Word of caution though - use kitchen tongs when heating these eggs.  They warm up fast!

Dyeing Easter Eggs with Reinkers

Once I tried a few eggs with glitter, I got brave and tried to dye them with Stampin' Up! reinkers. I used about a half cup of water, 1 teaspoon of vinegar and 5 - 10 drops of reinker. I stuck mostly with the Bold Brights family, and I think my favorite was Tempting Turquoise - a robin egg blue color. Since I decided to blow the eggs first, I did have to stir the eggs in the dye every so often since they wanted to float on the top of the water.  

These eggs were made with  the Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlets and Sticky Pages.  Who knew you needed a Big Shot to decorate Easter eggs?

Easter Comes Early

I am so lucky to be a part of such a fantastic group of demonstrators, and I was able to attend our annual Spring into Stamping event yesterday. The day is full of main stage demonstrations, speakers, make-n-takes, and demonstration fairs. The demonstration fair is where I come in. Those of you who talk to me on a regular basis know that I have been pretty busy with something, and I might have mentioned eggs once or twice ;-) Well here it is. Decorating your Easter eggs the Stampin' Up! Way - with all Stampin' Up! products! The only thing on this table not from Stampin' Up! is the paint brush I used to brush off excess glitter. I dyed the eggs with Stampin' Up! reinkers (mixed with water and vinegar). I used Sticky Cuts, Sticky Strip, Glue Dots, and ran lots of the plain 12 x 12 Sticky Pages through my Big Shot. I also used my VersaMarker and small stamps to heat emboss. That way I could personalize the eggs. Hold those eggs with kitchen tongs when heating! And Rub-on look great on the eggs too.

I blew the eggs so that I could reuse them next year, but I don't know why this wouldn't work on hard boiled eggs or ceramic eggs too :-)  Check back for more detailed photos this week!

Spring into Stamping is just one of the great perks to being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in my group.  It's like our own little regional convention.  I would love to share more information with you if you have been thinking about becoming a demonstrator either for the business opportunity or for the personal discount.  Still on the fence?  There is a great special going on this month that you won't want to miss out on.
