How fun is this tree ring pop up card? From pop up tree rings inside to a peak-a-boo window on the front. I created this with the new Stampin' Up Ringed in Nature Bundle, including the Tree Rings Hybrid folder. This folder cuts and embosses the tree rings at the same time.
The designer series paper is the coordinating Rings of Love Collection that is available free during Saleabration.

I'm honored to be part of the PPX crew, which is a super talented group of demonstrators who share alternate Paper Pumpkin kit projects each month. We are doing a "Celebrating In Colors" Blog Hop today for even more alternate ideas for this gorgeous kit.

I also have written instructions and a full video sharing how to make these cards below.

Celebrating World Watercolor Month with the Stampin Up Stylish Sketches Saleabration Stamp Set (say that 5 times fast) & Diamond Easel Cards.
