I used the Stampin’ Up! Ringed With Nature stamp set bundle to create an anniversary card to share with you today.  I did a video tutorial for this card on Facebook Live yesterday and you can see it here.  You can also see the video on YouTube here.

I started by stamping the leaf image from the Ringed With Nature photopolymer stamp set in Crumb Cake ink across the front of the Crumb Cake card base.  I cut a panel of Splendid Day Speciality DSP with on of the Deckled Rectangles Dies and then adhered the die cut panel to a panel of Soft Suede card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut and embossed panels of Soft Suede and Crumb Cake card stocks with the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder.  I stamped a heart from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on the largest Crumb Cake die cut and then adhered the die cuts together with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the larger and smaller tree rings to the card front with Mini Glue Dots and then added the medium tree ring with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut panels of Old Olive, Sweet Sorbet glimmer paper from the 2022-2024 In Color 6″ x 6″ Glimmer Paper and Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ Cardstock with Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies and then adhered the die cut pieces with Mini Glue Dots to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a panel of Basic White card stock, cut it out with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it with Mini Glue Dots.  I added two Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front to finish it.

I stamped the image from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Crumb Cake ink on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
