Ringed With Nature Fun Fold Card

Hello!

This is the last day for Sale-A-Bration! Today’s card is another one that features the Ringed With Love Designer Series Paper that is still available as a free gift with a $50 purchase. This card is a Z fun fold that I came across on Lisa Curcio’s blog and YouTube channel where she shows how to make it. I love this fold because it is a great way to show off any Designer Series Paper and while it looks difficult to make, it is actually very easy! This card also uses the Ringed With Nature Bundle that coordinates with the DSP.

Click on the blog link above to go to Lisa Curcio’s post for all of the cutting dimensions and instructions on how to put the card together. Here is how I made my card.

  • Card base – Thick Basic White cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease sharply with a bone folder.
  • Cut piece of Parakeet Party cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Cut piece of Ringed With Love DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to cardstock. Adhere piece to card front.
  • Die cut and emboss one of the larger tree rings from the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder with a piece of Soft Suede cardstock. Die cut several different leaves with scrap pieces of Crushed Curry, Evening Evergreen and Parakeet Party cardstock. Adhere to tree ring with Mini Glue Dots.
  • Adhere two pieces of a contrasting piece of DSP cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″ to both sides of the inside of the card base.
  • Cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the inside Z fold as per Lisa Curcio’s instructions.
  • Cut strip of the tree trunk DSP and follow the instructions for cutting the strips before adding them to the fold.
  • Stamp the acorns from the Ringed With Nature stamp set. First stamp the bottom of the acorns with Poppy Parade ink and then stamp the acorn tops with Soft Suede ink. Stamp the greeting on the smallest panel with Soft Suede ink. Adhere to inside of card as instructed.
  • To finish off the card, adhere the tree ring to the card front with two Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top and two at the bottom, leaving space in the middle of the tree ring. Cut a length of ribbon at 18″ and slide one end through the middle of the tree ring. I used some retired 1/2″ white ribbon from my stash. You can use one or two Mini Glue Dots to adhere the ribbon at the back of the card in order to keep it in place. Tie ribbon into either a bow or a double knot, which is how I tied it.

Rings of Love Card

Hello!

The month of August is flying by so quickly and it means that Sale-A-Bration will be coming to an end on August 31st. I’ve been so busy with in-person classes that I haven’t had time to post all of the cards I’ve made this month, so for the next few days I’ll be posting cards that use Sale-A-Bration products. Today’s card features the Ringed With Nature stamp set from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog and the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper that you can earn for free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. The Ringed With Nature bundle is such a fun bundle work with and the DSP works so beautifully with it. This card is quick and easy to put together.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of the Rings of Love DSP with the tree branches at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
  • Cut a piece of the DSP with the birds at 2 1/2″ x 3″.
  • Cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the the scalloped frame from the Fabulous Frames dies. Adhere frame to card front. Adhere the piece of bird DSP to the inside of the frame. The top and bottom of the DSP will fit into the frame and the sides will slightly overlap the sides of the frame.
  • Run a scrap piece of Basic White cardstsock through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the label die from the Stylish Frames dies. Stamp greeting with Soft Suede ink. I used one of the greetings from the Go To Greetings stamp set. This is such a wonderful set of greetings! I just love the mix of different type fonts, sizes and basic greetings that work for all occasions.
  • For a bit of embellishment, I cut two pieces of the Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Essentials Pack at 2 1/2″ and threaded each one through the holes on the sides of the tag, tied double knots and trimmed the ends. Adhere tag to card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the stem from the Ringed With Nature stamp set with Soft Suede ink in bottom left corner. Stamp the mushroom caps with Crushed Curry ink on top of the stems. Adhere to inside of card.
