I was thrilled when the Sale-A-Bration Rings of Love Designer Series Paper came back in stock (very lucky as exclusive Sale-A-Bration items are only available while supplies last)! I couldn’t resist using it in this Friday’s Double Feature along with the coordinating July-December 2022 Mini Catalog Ringed with Nature stamp set to create a Christmas card and Thinking of You card. You can watch the Facebook Live replay on how I made these Ringed with Nature & Rings of Love DSP cards on my Facebook page here or watch it on my YouTube channel below.
Merry Christmas Rings of Love DSP Card 1
Start with an Evening Evergreen cardstock card base. Cut a Poppy Parade cardstock (cs) panel and a Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (DSP) panel. Glue the DSP panel to the Poppy Parade cs panel and then wrap the panels twice with the Evening Evergreen Open Weave ribbon using Stampin’ Seal to secure the ends to the back of the panels. Glue the wrapped panels to the card base.
Stamp the poinsettia flower stamp from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Poppy Parade, use a sponge dauber to slightly remove some ink from the inked stamp, use another sponge dauber to add Crushed Curry ink to the flower stamp’s center, huff (add moister with your breath), and then stamp on Basic White cs. Add more Crushed Curry ink to the center of the flower stamp, huff, and then restamp on Basic White cs. Use paper snips to fussy cut out the flowers and add Wink of Stella to the flowers for sparkle. Add the flowers to the center of the card front overlapping the wrapped ribbon.
Cut a sentiment Basic White cs strip, stamp the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on the strip, and then use paper snips to cut off the excess. Tie a bow with the Evening Evergreen Open Weave ribbon and use glue dots to add the bow to the card front overlapping the fussy cut flowers. Add the sentiment panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals and glue dots to the card front overlapping the bow and the flowers. Add rhinestones to the card front for extra sparkle.
Don’t forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink and add a strip of DSP to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.

Thinking of You Rings of Love DSP Card 2
Start with a Balmy Blue cardstock card base. Cut a Soft Sea Foam cardstock (cs) panel and a Rings of Love Designer Series Paper (DSP) panel. Glue the DSP panel to the Soft Sea Foam cs panel and then wrap the panels twice with Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding ribbon using Stampin’ Seal to secure the ends to the back of the panels. Glue the wrapped panels to the card base.
Fussy cut out a tree ring, two leaf sprigs, and a bird from the Rings of Love DSP with paper snips. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the DSP tree ring to the card front overlapping the wrapped ribbon. Use Stampin Seal (on a Silicone Craft Mat) to add both DSP leaf sprigs to the left side of the tree ring.
Stamp the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Night of Navy ink on Basic White cs. Punch out the sentiment with the Label Me Fancy punch. Use glue to add the sentiment label to the tree ring overlapping the leaf sprigs. Use a Stampin’ Dimensional to add the fussy cut bird to the top right of the sentiment label. Add Wink of Stella to the bird and Champagne rhinestones to the tree ring around the leaf sprigs for extra sparkle.
Don’t forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set in Night of Navy ink and add a strip of DSP on the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
