Easter egg place card.

I have a confession to make: I didn’t make these egg name place cards today. Not even yesterday. Not even in the previous month – but almost a year ago! Well, you can’t predict when inspiration strikes. Normally I’ve thought so much about a specific holiday right at the time when the holiday is over that I have my best ideas! This is actually a funny story:

So I was sitting on my couch about 2 weeks after Easter 2015 and suddenly I had this epiphany with a clear picture in my mind of these Easter egg place cards. Because it was late afternoon, I had to rush to create and photograph all steps and the result in daylight. Deadlines always make me the most productive, so I did it! It’s a good thing they are done in literally 10 minutes!

Since then the pictures sat on my hard drive and I would stumble upon them on occasion and smile because it does look so cute.

It’s a good thing that I’m all prepared for Easter now, right? It’s not weird that I made these almost a year in advance?

All you need is:
– blown-out eggs
– letter stamps
– red stamp cushion
– cupcake forms
– hay

Print the names on the eggs with the letter stamps. Add a little hay (and maybe some feathers) to the cupcake forms. Place the eggs on top and voilá!

If you wonder why I have blown out eggs at home, weeks after Easter: I blow out the eggs I get from my parents every time I need the whole thing for cooking or baking. Their hens lay the prettiest eggs and as you can see, you never know when you need them!
