Last Week’s Card & Cuppa for Children – Safari Smiles

This cute pair of elephants were the stars of last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children class.

The elephants and sentiment are from the Safari Smiles Stamp Set, with the leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set. Both of these sets are on the Last Chance Products list, so grab them while you can.

To begin, the leaves were stamped around the edge in Garden Green to give a jungle effect.

Next, both elephants were stamped onto their rectangles in Secret Sea. With the sentiment stamped onto a separate piece too.

Each elephant was coloured using Stampin’ Blends. Mine are in Cloud Cover and Barely Blush, but the young attendees could choose their own colours.

The elephants were then mounted onto the larger Cloud Cover rectangles before being stuck onto the jungle.

Using Dimensionals, both the baby elephant and the sentiment were raised up in the foreground.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Untouched Landscapes

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this picturesque landscape collage.

It used the Untouched Landscapes Stamp Set and is inspired by a project from the most recent Catalogue.

I previously taught this project using this Stamp Set previously, but this design has a lot of fussy cutting!

My colour combination is a mix of Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Golden Glow from the new In Colors, with Old Olive, Garden Green and Balmy Blue, alongside Basic White.

Each section is stamped onto a separate piece of cardstock. Most are tone on tone apart from the Barely Blush and Basic White pieces.

For the Barely Blush section, the image was turned upside down to create a slightly different look to the mountains above.

Every piece is then cut along the top edge. The flowers at the bottom are then coloured with Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with a Blender Pen.

Using a Blending Brush, the section at the top becomes the sky.

Each piece is then carefully layered to create the scene, before cutting off the excess from the edges.

Finally, a sentiment from the Safari Smiles Stamp Set is raised up on Mini Dimensionals.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa for Children – More Gears & Textures

Last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children project was this colourful Birthday Card.

You may notice it is similar to this project the adults made at their Card & Cuppa class earlier in the week.

This is deliberate!

I like to design a project to work across both classes, sometimes making small changes to each one.

This version has swapped the coloured Baker’s Twine for strips of card. There is also no colour flare and the design is portrait instead of landscape. Everything else stays the same.

Once again, the background is stamped using the Gears & Textures Stamp Set.

Then, the three strips of colour are added across the project.

Next, the circle is stamped and cut out, along with a layer using Circle Punches.

This sits over the top of the strips on Dimensionals.

Finally, as for the adult’s class, some Moody Palette Glossy Dots are added.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Gears & Textures

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project I designed an abstract card.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children class, one of the young attendees said they liked rainbows, so I decided to create a very colourful project.

You will notice that this project is the design for my adult session, not the one I run for children. Pop back later in the week for that one!

This card uses 6 colours, plus Basic White. Four colours for the background, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. Then we have Lemon Lolly and Basic Gray for the sentiment.

All of the stamping, apart from ‘Happy Birthday to you’ are from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set.

Each of the images are stamped onto the background in four colours before a slight flare of colour is added using Lemon Lolly and a Blending Brush.

Next, the round image is stamped and cut out, along with a layer using the Circle Punches. The sentiment from the Exciting Times Stamp Set is then added.

Picking three of the colours, strands of Baker’s Twines from the Essentials Pack are then coloured using Stamping Blends.

These are stuck across the centre of the project.

The layered sentiment sits over the top using Dimensionals.

Finally, three coordinating gems from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots are added.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa for Children – Cutest Crew

Last week I held my first Card & Cuppa for Children Class of Summer 2026.

As I had a mix of those who had been to these sessions before and some new faces, I designed this cute bright bird project.

It uses the Cutest Crew Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range, and is a version of this project from July’s monthly Card Making Class.

First, the footprints were stamped on the bottom half of the card in Early Espresso. We used a piece of cardstock to mask the top section.

Happy Birthday was then stamped in top corner in Basic Gray.

Two shapes, one in Granny Apple Green and one in Basic White were cut out using the Rounded Rectangle Punch.

The birds are stamped onto the white rectangle shape and then coloured using a Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.

A strip of Granny Apple Green is stuck across the project.

Next, the green rectangle shape is cut in half and stuck to the top and bottom of the birds to create a layer.

The bird piece is then raised up over the strip using Dimensionals.
