Good Saturday morning. My project today is very similar to many I have made in the past. I needed a masculine birthday card for a friend and I thought the deer from the Birch Tree Accessories and the Birch Tree Cutting Plate would be perfect. You’ll need to take a close look at the ground area where I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the new Impression Obsession Greetings Top Edgers. If I had it to do over again I would have used red for the sentiment. I added a few branches of the Leafy Branch for additional dimension and interest and added a few red birds from the Small Bird Set to add a touch of color to the scene.
I started by cutting the frame and attaching the sentiment edger to it with ATG. I cut the birch frame, applied ink to the trunks and the knot holes and attached to the back of the frame with mounting tape. I stamped a few trees on the card base and lightly sponged in a blue sky. I wanted to draw the eye in beyond the deer and birch. I attached the frame to the card base with strips of rolled up 1/2” double stick tape.
I colored the deer using distress inks and mini applicator and attached in the scene with mounting tape. I attached the foliage branches in the scene using glossy accents and rolled glue dots. The red birds were attached with rolled glue dots.
Here’s a closer view of the birthday sentiment.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend and I sure appreciate you stopping by.
Card size: 5.50” x 4.25”

Fantastic. I love all your cards. Your deer is excellent. Saw one card from someone else where the deer horns but then she put spots on it. I wanted to tell her but couldn’t get through. Oh well. Love all of them and look forward to seeing them every day.
Good Morning, Kittie, This is a fantastic scene. I always love the trees, deer and little birds. I feel like I am in the woods.
Add some snow an you have a beautiful Christmas card as well as the birthday. Love it…..have a good week-end.
Awesome card Kittie. Love the scene.
Kittie, this is the perfect masculine birthday card…. I love the spot of color on the tree’s… I have a birch in my yard & it looks like that… such a pretty card… thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity
Beautiful scenic card. I can feel the outdoors, just love it. Fantastic masculine card or for anyone for any occasion.
This is gorgeous! Such a peaceful scene! I love it! And I think the HB sentiment looks great in green – it blends into the landscape for a more subtle look. I wouldn’t change a thing! Always enjoy your cards!
This card is a profoundly perfect masculine card! I LOVE that it can be used for a birthday or Christmas. TFS.
gorgeous card–love how you layer all the dies. Helene
Love this outdoorsy scene! I’m sure the lucky man that receives this will be impressed!
A beautiful masculine card if that makes sense. I love the vines over the edge and love that die sentiment.
Fantastic scene, I love the way it is all framed!!
Fantastic Kittie…wish I could color my animals like you do…I keep trying..You do it so well. Did you do the Bleek technique with the background?
Oops, the Bleek question was for the card I saw on here from October with the glossy CS and woodgrain EB folder and white deer…:-)
I love this card- the scene is fabulous!
Our cards are always outstanding! So creative.
