Happy Birthday

The residents from the Assisted Living Center that I visit monthly requested a Masculine style birthday card. We created this simple birthday card that can be mass produced with any supplies you have on hand or stepped up for avid crafters.

If I was stepping this card up, I might dry emboss (using an embossing folder) the Pebbled Path mat or use ribbon or twine behind the sentiment label. You could even add a bit more visual interest by stamping an image in 2nd or 3rd generation (stamping off a few times on scrap paper) on the sentiment label as well. So many things you can do to step it up.
