Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop and September 2026 Color Challenge!
If you’ve already started the blog hop you should be coming from the talented Bonnie O’Neill’s blog post. If you’ve just joined in, make sure to do the full hop and see all the wonderful projects created by the Color Fusers Design team! The color scheme for the September 2026 Color Challenge includes four colors; Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight.
Today’s project features the Poetic Petals Bundle which features a stamp set with great set of sentiments and some very fun dies.
This was a very simple card to create and I love how it turned out. I used the neutral Crumb Cake for my base and for die-cutting. The three additional color challenge colors were placed in the background to offset the pretty die-cut shapes.

As you can see, the top die-cut layer of Crumb Cake cardstock is popped up on dimensionals. I love how this makes the die-cut flowers look more 3-D.

The sentiment was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock and fussy cut. I then attached the sentiment with some rolled up glue dots. For a final touch, I added some iridescent pearls, in two sizes, to the centers of each flower.

Below is a peek at the inside of the card. As always, I like to bring the theme from the outside of the card to the inside.
