The Color Hues Challenge #136| Spellbinders July 2026 Press & Foil of the Month

  PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST   
 
 It's time for us to share the next Hues of Color over at the Color Hues Challenge Blog! The colors that have been chosen for you to create with are Cream and Gold for the next two weeks! We can't wait to see how you are inspired!
 
With it being the first of July I thought I would share a Christmas in July project featuring Spellbinders NEW Festive Forest Press & Foil of the Month (BPOM-JUL26). I foiled the plate with Matte Gold Foil (GLF-002). I paired it with the large Poinsettia from the Playful Poinsettia 3D Embossing Folder (E3D-072) a cut and embossed one in both Alabaster and Matte Gold card stock. This was a quick but elegant card to put together.
 
Foiled cards are not always easy to photograph so I took a few photos.
