What you’ll make
Impressive looking.
Beginner friendly.
Five colorful balloons spelling H-A-P-P-Y, a handwritten “birthday” from your Cricut pen, and a card that looks like it took hours — but didn’t.
Cut
Balloon shapes in five colors plus white vinyl letters — your Cricut handles all the cutting.
Score
Score lines mark the card fold and exactly where each balloon goes — no guessing.
Write
Your Cricut pen writes “birthday” in beautiful script — no handwriting required.

How it works
Four steps.
One beautiful card.
Once your Cricut is done cutting, the assembly is the fun part. Follow the score lines and it practically puts itself together.
- 1 Cut & score — your Cricut cuts the balloons, letters, and base card while scoring the fold and placement guides
- 2 Weed the vinyl — peel away the excess from the white HAPPY letters
- 3 Layer & apply — stick each letter onto its balloon, then glue balloons onto the card following the score lines
- 4 Add the strings — a little twine or thread glued on and you’re done 🎉
