Last week’s Card & Cuppa project is this trio of purple butterflies.
I had been asked for a purple project, so my colour combination is Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape, with Lost Lagoon for the accent colour.
This project uses a couple of Two-Step Stampin’ Stamp Sets, All Aflutter and Greenery Lane.
Make sure you check out the Last Chance Products list to get your hands on the Greenery Lane Stamp Set while stocks last.
To begin, the large leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped in Lost Lagoon to create a background. The smaller leaves were then placed around these, with the infill in second generation stamping.
Then, the tiny flower was added five times in Fresh Freesia.
Next, the butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set were stamped twice onto a separate piece in the purples. Once in first generation, then again in second generation. They were then cut out using the coordinating All Aflutter Punch.
This gave us six butterflies, three slightly lighter than the others. Three were then chosen for the final project. I chose one dark and two lighter ones for mine.
A sentiment from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Triple Banner Punch is then stamped, layered and added to the bottom.
Each of the butterfly wings curled using a Paper Folder and then stuck to the project using Mini Dimensionals. These are placed to cover where the large and small leaves join each other.
Finally, small Iridescent Pearls are stuck in the centre of each of the five tiny flowers.

The third project from my recent Card Making Class was this pretty scene.
With an ‘It’s all new to me!’ theme, this project uses the 5 BRAND NEW 2026-2028 In Colors. It gave the attendees that opportunity to use the new magnetic design Stampin’ Pads too.
Using the Untouched Landscapes Stamp Set from the May-August Catalogue, each image is stamped in a different colour.
A sentiment and layers, from the Banner Sayings Bundle are then added. I think this looks like a sign you would see on a walk in the countryside.
There really isn’t a lot to do to create this project, so it’s great for a quick and simple card. You could make several and then add the sentiment later depending on the occasion.
I love how the colours work really well together in the scene too.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa, I continued my run through of the 2026-2028 In Colors. This time, I was introducing Golden Glow.
I chose to create a more masculine-style card using the Gears & Textures Stamp Set from the May-August Catalogue. This Stamp Set has coordinating Dies as part of a Bundle, but for this project, we only used the Stamp Set.
My colour combination alongside Golden Glow was Pecan Pie and Early Espresso. As I wanted to create a warmer card, to mirror the warmth of Golden Glow, I chose Very Vanilla over Basic White.
To begin, the various splats, textures, cogs, chains and more (except the small screw head shape) were stamped across the background.
Next, using a Blending Brush and Pecan Pie, various areas were inked to give a more industrial feel.
Two shapes were cut using the Triple Banner Punch, with one stamped using the coordinating Banner Sayings Stamp Set, To create the background layer for the sentiment, the Early Espresso piece was cut in half and stuck to the back.
Before assembling everything together, the small screw head image was stamped several times. This was our ‘bling’.
Finally, the card was assembled with the sentiment raised up on Dimensionals.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Golden Glow In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa class was the first session since the release of the new Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.
As there are five brand new In Colors, I decided the project would be introducing Barely Blush, along with the fabulous new magnetic ink pads.
I paired this new colour with Gray Granite and Basic White for a more monochrome look.
For this project, I also used the new All Aflutter Bundle (All Aflutter Stamp Set and All Aflutter Punch).
First, one side of the background was stamped with one of the images.
Next, on a separate piece, the butterflies were stamped. This was two-step stampin’, so I used Gray Granite for the outline and Barely Blush for the centre.
These were then punched out using the matching punch.
A sentiment from the Banner Saying Stamp Set was added onto a thin strip of coordinating cardstock.
The butterflies had their wings curled slightly using a Paper Folder before the top and bottom ones were attached using Glue Dots.
For the middle buttefly, this was attached using a Mini Dimensional to raise it up off the card.
Finally, some Rhinestones were added to give a bit of sparkle.
I’ve also created a handy picture of how Barely Blush compares to the current Stampin’ Up! core colours.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the gorgeous Flowers Fair Stamp Set with the spotlight technique.
As the attendees could use any colours for their project, I chose to use the In Color Secret Sea as the accent colour.
The Flowers Fair Stamp Set, from the Online Exclusives range, was stamped and then coloured using Stampin’ Blends. I chose greens, yellows and oranges for my design.
Using Wink of Stella, the centre of the flowers were given a touch of shimmer.
When the colouring was completed, a circle was cut out of the piece using a Circle Punch. A layer was also cut using a larger Circle Punch. The punches are also from the Online Exclusives range.
These two pieces were then stuck together.
A sentiment made using the Banner Sayings Bundle (Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Triple Banner Punch), also from the Online Exclusives range.
The cut out piece was then aligned and stuck to the background piece using Dimensionals.
Mini Dimensionals and a dot of glue were used to attach the sentiment.
Finally, some Rhinestones were added for a touch of bling.

The second project from the weekend’s Card Making Class was this sunny Birthday card.
With the theme of the class being Backgrounds and More, this ombre beach scene is just perfect.
A combination of Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon and some Blending Brushes create the sky, sand and sea.
The sun and boat are from the Choose Happy Stamp Set. Both are coloured using Stamping Blends, with the boat cut out by hand. Care is needed to avoid cutting the sail from the boat!
In the bottom corner, a sentiment from the Banner Saying Stamp Set is stamped. This Stamp Set is in the Online Exclusives range.
Although I used Crushed Curry for the sun and sand, I chose to combine Daffodil Delight with Azure Afternoon for my card layers. This gave the project a much brighter look and feel.
Finally, the boat is raised up on Dimensionals to look like it is sailing by!
