July Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Tuesday, July 1, 2025

Hey friends! It’s time for another Sweet Stampede Blog Hop, and this month’s challenge was such a fun one—we were given a sketch to follow and asked to use one of our favorite color combos. You know I couldn’t resist something bright and cheerful, so I pulled out Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green. These colors just feel like sunshine on paper!
As soon as I saw the sketch, I had an idea to pair it with the Happy Hibiscus Bundle—because, let’s be honest, those flowers are just gorgeous. I started with a Crumb Cake card base, then built up the background with some of that sweet Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. The linen-look print went down first (cut to 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"), then I added a Granny Apple Green strip (1-1/2" x 5-1/2") and layered that starry Daffodil Delight piece (3-1/2" x 4-3/4") on top. Already so cute.


To create the focal point, I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut two circles and layered them on top of each other.  Then I layered on the stamped and die-cut flowers and leaves from the Happy Hibiscus set. I popped them up with dimensionals for that fun layered look, added a Linen Thread bow for a little rustic texture, and tucked in a few 25–27 In-Color Flat Pearls to finish it off.

The sentiment—"You Make Me Smile"—felt perfect for the card and this challenge. Because really, this hobby, this team, these colors… they do make me smile.
