The July 2026 Release collection is filled with beautiful new products that are sure to spark your creativity! For today's blog hop, I created two CAS cards featuring some of my favourite sets from the release. For my first card, I used the stunning Craft-A-Flower: Gerbera Daisy Layering Die Set. This beautiful layering die set perfectly captures the charm of this cheerful bloom.



I die cut all the elements from white cardstock before adding colour with Butternut, Dusty Pink and Blush Rose Fresh Dye Inks for the flower. For the foliage, I used the green shades from the Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink Bundle, along with Evergreen Fresh Dye Ink.



I gently lifted all the petals to add dimension and paired the finished flower with two branches from the Festive Greenery Die Set, die cut from Crafty Necessities: Misty Sage Cardstock. To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Build-A-Garden: Blossoming Trio Stamp Set.

For my second card, I used the Build-A-Garden: Blossoming Trio, which features three elegant floral designs. I used two of the floral stamps and using a masking technique, stamped them directly onto my card base to create a seamless arrangement.



The coordinating stencil set makes it easy to add colour to the stamped florals and bring the blooms to life. Here, I used the pink shades from the Rose Petal Fresh Dye Ink Bundle, along with the green shades from the Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink Bundle and Evergreen Fresh Dye Ink to add depth to the foliage.



To finish the card, I added a sentiment created with a stamp and Build-A-Garden: Blossoming Trio Add-On Die Set and popped it up with Foam Adhesive Dots - 1/16" for added dimension.

That’s it from me today! Your next stop is Carol Hintermeier. You can find the full lineup below.
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!
