Color Fusers Blog Hop July 2026

Happy July!!! It is the best month for warm sunny days and longer hours of sunshine. I am hoping for a beautiful peaceful July! Summer is by favorite season and I so ready to enjoy! This month the color palette is a combination of in colors and one bright. It’s time we dive right into my project for the Color Fuser Blog Hop July 2026. I hope you are happy with what I create.

My Project:

One of my downlines brought to my attention the Artisan Sketched Garden 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I didn’t have it in my cart, but I quickly added it and then once it arrived I had to use it. The packet is made up of black and white designs and it was perfect to use for this month’s project. It looks I actually stamped the vases but I simple used a pair of paper snips and colored with Stampin’ Blends. Each vase is different, that was the hard part picking which one!

The Details:

As you may know, I love to color block for this blog hop. I just find it helps blend the colors all together. This time, I used three different sizes of card stock, 1/4″, 1/2″ and 3/4″ to complete the diagonal stripes on the cards. I used the blending brushes to color basic white card stock. It was simple but effective.

Grab your supplies

• cut card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
• score at 4 1/4″
• cut layering card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″ (poppy parade)
• trim strips of card stock at 1/4″ (crisp cantaloupe) 1/2″ (cloud cover) and 3/4″ (poppy parade)
• display strips on a 4 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ piece of white, once you have your design, trim off excess than with your paper trimer cut to 3 7/8″ x 2 5/8″. I use my trimmer to get a clear edge
• on basic white 3 7/8″ x 2 5/8″ use blending brushes to shade card stock
• layer the shaded card stock and diagonal card stock onto the poppy parade. It may overlap or there may be a small space, the ribbon will cover.
• pick you vase from the Designer Series Paper and color with Stampin’ Blends
• fussy cut your vase
• stamp your sentiment in poppy parade
• cut cloud cover card stock to place vase (size varies due to size of vase)
• assemble card as shown
• finish with a few in color embellishments

Time to Hop!

I hope you enjoyed my card for this month. Definitely plan on trying one more design with this color combination. Be sure to hop all the other talented demonstrators. I have my list of supplies for easy reference below. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a terrific week.

Happy Stampin’
