4. Adhere the ‘Go See Do’ tag ¾“ from the right-hand side of the card edge and 1¼“ from the bottom of the card. Note: Add the adhesive to the middle of the tag so that pieces can be added underneath and at the bottom later on in the process.

6. Adhere the chevron strip 1½“ from the left hand side of the card edge then adhere the fussy cut feathers with the circle foam mounts.

8. Add three layer cut pieces underneath the red tags as pictured.

9. Tuck the teal banner underneath the red Happy Birthday creative cut and the blue polka dot on top of the red Happy Birthday creative cut. Finally add the blue Happy Birthday creative cut, with edges trimmed off, on top of the blue polka dot layer cut.
