The Stamp Review Crew: Ringed with Nature

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday.  This week we are playing with a versatile stamp set Ringed with Nature, which I was thrilled to see coordinates with some FREE Sale-a-Bration paper.   If you are following the blog hop order, you have just come from the very lovely Debra Burgin's blog.  Aren't her projects always beautiful?

Combining the current Sunday Stamps challenge with this week's set, I came up with this card for our neighbor's "something-th" milestone birthday party,  It's a bit of a twisted card, with the inside sentiment reading, "You have so many rings, I've lost count."

Here is the Sunday Stamps color combination for this week.  I also used Global Design Project sketch #350.

Stamps: Ringed with Nature; Paper: Soft Sea Foam, Night of Navy, Basic Black, Whisper White, Rings of Love DSP, Splendid Day DSP; Ink: Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Versamark; Accessories: White Embossing Powder, Tree Rings Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Die-Cutting Machine.

Along the same vein, I tried the similar layout using the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder.  The hybrid embossing folder is a 2-step process, first dry embossing the cardstock with a folder and then cutting with metal dies.

Stamps: Ringed with Nature, Nature's Harvest; Paper: Gray Granite, Basic Gray, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Sun Prints DSP; Ink: Gray Granite, Versamark, Mango Melody & Gray Granite Stampin' Blends; Accessories: Linen Thread, White Embossing Powder, Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder, Harvest Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.
