Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop – July 2026

Welcome to the July 2026 Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Christmas in July” with a twist. The twist is a choice of color options. I chose to go with non-traditional Christmas colors. Please follow along with us as we share our creations.


The color inspiration for today’s challenge are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Azure Afternoon, and Gray Granite.

My card features the Festive Cheer Bundle (Festive Cheer Photopolymer Stamps and coordinating dies). My card is a quick and easy 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” card with a mat layer. The stamp set has two-step stamping images so I used full color for the line art and stamped off with the solid image stamp. The embelishments I used are the Pearls of Beauty and I colored the white embellishments with a Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend. The starlight stamp was used, tone on tone, to add additional interest to the background.
