Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop, July 2026!

This month we’re celebrating our Favorites from the Catalog—the stamps, dies, papers, and embellishments we can’t stop reaching for! Whether you’re adding to your wish list or looking for a fresh idea to create with supplies you already own, we hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration along the way.

My favorite product in the current catalog?  The Moonlit Flora Suite, hands down. From the rich, regal colors to the magnificent ferns and foliage, this suite has it all. A few additional favorites complete the project. Like, Velveteen Specialty Paper ferns and 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies dancing in the background.

A close-up reveals the texture and detail of all the elements. I just love this suite of products! 
Use your scraps! I had some velveteen die-cuts left over from a previous project. Tucking them just under the focal piece helps to soften sharp lines. 
Dress up the inside with scraps too. Adding a little detail makes your card a cut above.

Enough chit-chat. Let’s make the card!
