I haven’t used the Woodland Embossing Folder for a while, but it’s still a favorite, especially for masculine cards.

Woodland Birthday
Before embossing, I added three strips of green to a 4 X 5 1/4″ Crumb Cake Cardstock layer. The strips are 4 X 1 1/4″ in Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive Cardstock. After embossing with the Woodland Embossing Folder, I glued the layer to a Crumb Cake card base.
Next, I used the wonderful, Majestic Mountain tree die, to cut a tree from Noble Peacock Foil. The tree isn’t as tall as it seems, because I cut it in half, and covered the middle of the tree with a circle.
The circle was made with two Layering Circles Dies and two colors of Cardstock: Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.

The sentiment, “May your birthday be memorable,” is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink.
