It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “New Favorite July 2026 Online Exclusives”.
PRETTY POINSETTIA
I really LOVE the July Online Exclusives that demos can preorder right now! They will be available for customers beginning July 1st (along with new Online Kits, and a new Product of the Month)! Make sure to check them out!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Golden Glow cardstock was stamped with the Pretty Poinsettia greeting in Peaceful Pine Ink and the insides colored with Wink of Stella.
- Two 3/4 x 5-1/4 strips of plaid A Stitched Season DSP were added to each side of the Golden Glow layer.
- The large leaf branch from the Pretty Poinsettias Dies was cut from Gold Metallic Paper and then cut in half and adhered across the top.
- Two sets of Pretty Poinsettias petals (LOVE the texture!) were cut from Poppy Parade cardstock and brushed with Poppy Parade Ink. The leaves were cut from Peaceful Pine cardstock and sponged with Peaceful Pine Ink, and the centers cut from Golden Glow cardstock. They were assembled together and added over the gold leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of gold Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems were added to the flower centers and next to the greeting.

I was excited that the new Golden Glow color would be perfect for Christmas…and I was right! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
