This project highlights everything we love about spring: florals, gingham, Easter eggs, and soft textures layered together for a dimensional, eye-catching design.---

🌷 A Closer Look at the Card

At the heart of this design is a beautifully layered Easter basket filled with patterned eggs. The combination of textures and coordinating papers makes this card feel polished yet playful.

Design Details:

🧺 Layered basket focal point with soft blue ribbon detail

🥚 Patterned Easter eggs in chevron, polka dots, stripes, and glitter accents

🌸 Coordinating floral designer paper along the bottom panel

💚 Soft pastel gingham background for that classic spring touch

✨ Subtle embellishments for added dimension and shine

The mix of patterns works effortlessly because the suite was designed to coordinate perfectly—no second-guessing color combinations!

💡 Design Tips from This Card

If you’re recreating this look, here are a few techniques to try:

1. Layer for Depth – Use dimensionals behind the basket and eggs to make the focal point pop.

2. Mix Patterns Confidently – Stick to coordinating colors within the suite for a cohesive look.

3. Add Texture with Ribbon – A soft bow instantly elevates a simple die-cut shape.

4. Ground Your Design – Use a patterned strip across the bottom to anchor your focal image.
