It's hard to believe that we're already talking about July, but this week we're giving you a little sneak peek of what will be coming up in the launch of July 2026 Online Exclusives. I can't wait to see what everyone's favourite new product is! You know I'm always a sucker for paper, so I chose the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP.

Products Used

• New Product: 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper. This paper will be available to purchase July 1st. It has 10 sheets of DSP, 2 of each colour.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Card Base:

   1. Cut Thick Basic White Cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".

   2. Score in half at 4 1/4".

2. Card Front:

   1. Using the 'Rounded Rectangle' Punch, punch 1 of each of the 5 colours.

   2. On the side with the larger checks, draw a line through the lighter squares with the dark Stampin' Blend in the coordinating colour.

   3. Add each of these to the card front with dimensionals, layering them slightly.

3. Details:

   1. Heat emboss the sentiment and outline image in white on Secret Sea Cardstock. Punch out and add to card front with dimensionals. If desired, you can tuck a bit of linen thread behind too for an extra detail.

   2. Add a few polka dots with the dark Secret Sea Stampin' Blend.

   3. Add an In Color Dot to each rectangle in the coordinating colour.
