Happy Birthday

Another attempt at a different card fold....the simple tri-fold, with a twist.
I used a 5 1/2"X12 piece of Coco brown cardstock and folded it at 3 1/2" and 9 inches instead of three folds of equal thirds Above is the inside of the card with a little more embossing and decorative papers.
Hopefully his shot gives you an idea of the folding.  The front of the card folds just under the bottom flap
 with the "Happy Birthday" stamped on it.

Materials:
     Paper: Coco (Paper Cut)
     My Mind's Eye "Quite Contrary:
Stamp: Inkadinkadoo Mini's
Brads: Making Memories
Ribbon: Creative Imaginations
Cuttlebug: "Holly Ribbons" and "Candycane Stripe"
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Walnut Stain"

I am hoping the photos above will give you the idea of how this card goes together.  I like giving something different a try.
