DO THIS STEP FIRST!
Mount the smaller, decorated with lines and dots egg image from the Excellent Eggs Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Bubble Bath shimmer paper rectangle. Set aside to allow to dry.
DO THIS STEP SECOND!
Cut a 5-3/4" piece and a 3-1/2" piece of the Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack. Lay both pieces of ribbon on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Use the side of the brush tip of the Dark Berry Burst Stampin' Blends to color the ribbon pieces until you have the color coverage you want. Set aside to allow to dry.
Mount the "happy Easter" sentiment from the Excellent Eggs Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the horizontal pink brushstroke Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper rectangle.
Adhere the stamped designer paper rectangle to the center of the Berry Burst rectangle.
Pick out the small, detailed egg die from the Excellent Eggs Dies. Put it on top of the Berry Burst shimmer paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the detailed Berry Burst shimmer paper egg cut out to the small rectangle of pink dots Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut around the edge of the detailed egg cut out cutting off excess designer paper.
If the egg stamped on the Bubble Bath shimmer paper is dry, then proceed. Pick out the matching, open egg die from the Excellent Eggs Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Place the stamped, shimmery Bubble Bath egg cut out on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Use the Dark Berry Burst Stampin' Blends to color in some of the details on the egg cut out. Set aside to dry.
If the ribbon is dry, proceed. Lay the long piece of colored ribbon across the matted cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it is about 3/4" from the bottom edge. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Berry Burst rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Bubble Bath card.
If the colored, stamped, shimmery Bubble Bath egg cut out is dry, then adhere it at a slight angle as shown to the front of the card so it overlaps the right side of the ribbon on the card front.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small, layered, shimmery/designer paper egg cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown so it overlaps the top of the ribbon and the left side of the large egg.
Tie a half knot in the center of the remaining, shorter piece of colored ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon and the space where the two eggs meet at the bottom.
