I ran the flipped one thru the embossing cycle to help flatten it before I paper pieced them together. The designer paper, a piece of white &amp; a piece of butter yellow were die cut w\/ a new set of frame dies. I used 2 different papers, the black confetti for the large panel, and a dotty piece for the piece behind the smallest white one. The present was cut was out of the reverse side of the dotty one. I used the Birthday Owl Add ons for the present. There is a party hat die but it was the wrong scale for the toucans, so I stamped &amp; die cut the party hats from the Party Raccoon set. A pretty easy card to make, just arranging the die cuts &amp; paper piecing the toucans. They are popped up one more layer.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42487\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1008\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899-400x253.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899-980x620.jpg 980w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899-175x111.jpg 175w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Birthday-Toucans-xcu-IMG7899-190x120.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThanks <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">so much for stopping by!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12715\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Julie2-sig.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Supplies:<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 184px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"586\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody id=\"collapseobj_photoinfo\">\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%;
