  • I cut the branches, flowers, and leaves with the #51-618 Swinging die set.
  • I glued the branches to the panel and trimmed off the excess from both sides.
  • I glued the leaves and flowers to the branches.

  • Using the #51-596 Bird and Branch set, I cut the chicks from bright cardstock – SU Tempting Turquoise (now retired), SU Pineapple Punch, and Taylored Expressions Lollipop. I adhered their eyes and beaks.
  • I used the #51-630 Rolling Hills and #51-623 Pretty Picket sets to create a background for the scene.
  • I die-cut the sentiment using the #51-040 Hello Frame die.
  • I embellished the scene with butterflies cut with one of the butterfly dies in the #51-132 Flights of Fancy set.

  • The Balloons die set includes two balloon sizes. I cut both sizes from bright-colored cardstock (the green and orange balloons were cut with the smaller die, the pink and yellow with the bigger one).
  • I arranged the balloons in an overlapping fashion. I adhered the arrangement to the base and trimmed the panel.
  • I cut the Happy Birthday sentiment three times from white cardstock for extra depth.
  • I added the bows and strings to the balloons before adhering the sentiment.
