Colored Deviled Easter Eggs

Hi everyone! 

I'm sure many of you are gearing up for Easter and with that I'm also going to be sharing something I tried out today that I picked up from a few different Pinterest links!

So for Easter, one of my favorite foods I look forward to eating are Deviled Eggs. I'm sure a lot of you also can agree with this statement. Well this year I found the idea off of Pinterest to make colored Deviled Eggs!

You will need:
Vinegar
Cups
Food Coloring(I used McCormick's Neon food dye)

Then whatever you use to make your deviled eggs. 
Hard-boiled eggs
Mayo(I use olive oil mayo by Kraft)
Mustard

You fill your cups 2/3 of the way full with 1 tsp. of vinegar and then add 3 drops of food dye to each cup for each color. Mix then up and then add your halved egg whites. I was able to add 3 halved egg whites to each cup. I was also multi-tasking and dying eggs at the same time. The purple takes a very long time to get the deep color that I got, so I added a lot more drops of dye to speed the process up. 

 I forgot to take a picture, but once you reach your desired color, let them dry on a paper plate lined with paper towels and then once dry, fill 'em up and gobble 'em up!!
So pretty and soooooo yummy!! 

Happy Easter everyone!!

My Paper Crafting Challenge #127--Easter


Hi everyone! It's hump day once again and it's time for a new Crafting with Cutters challenge at My Paper Crafting!

This week's challenge is:
Create an Easter project!!

Here is what I created:

I decided I wanted to do an Easter bunny frog for this challenge. I think he is so cute!!
Card base is a pale green A2 card with a yellow polka-dotted mat on top. I then added a blue strip of paper on the bottom for the water. The grass, lily pad, thistles, eggs, frog, cloud, and bunny ears are all cut from Create a Critter 2! I inked around everything with Tim Holtz's black soot distress ink. I embossed the rabbit ears with Swiss Dots and the Cloud with an embossing folder by the Paper Studio. I also added googly eyes to my frog and usually this frog in the cartridge has a heart in front of him but i just skipped that layer and added the egg in front of him for this Easter card. The sentiment says, "Hoppy Easter!!" 

There it is. Hope you have as much fun with this challenge as I did! 

Thanks for taking a look and make sure to go to My Paper Crafting to check out the other DT member's creations and to see all the rules to play along.

Have a great Hump Day!
