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.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used a new Bundle from the Online Exclusives range.
The Simply Leaves Bundle (Simply Leaves Stamp Set & Simple Leaf Punch) were recently released as part of the July Online Exclusives range.
If you’ve been around a while, you’ll know I love the punches, so this set just had to fall into my basket.
Rather than an autumnal feel, I chose to create a more summery project with my colours.
My colour combination was Berry Burst, Strawberry Slush, Petal Pink and Highland Heather, along with Basic White.
First, the background ombre was created by using Blending Brushes with Petal Pink, Strawberry Slush and Highland Heather.
Next, one of the smaller leaves was stamped 2nd Generation multiple times onto the ombre.
The leaf veins image were stamped 3 times onto a separate piece and these were then coloured with Blending Brushes. They were then cut out using the coordinating Punch.
Any additional colour was then added to the cut shapes.
Each leaf was then scored along each of the vein lines and then gently folded along them to give some additional shaping.
A sentiment, also from the Stamp Set was stamped in Berry Burst onto a shape cut out using the Triple Banner Punch. The layer was cut out in Berry Burst before they were stuck together slightly offset.
The top right leaf was stuck down using glue, while the other leaves were attached to the sentiment to create one piece.
That whole piece was then added using Dimensionals to raise it up.
Finally, three Iridescent Pearls were coloured using a Stampin’ Blend, also in Berry Burst, and added to the project.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa Class, I continued introducing the new 2026-2028 In Colors.
This time I was introducing Crisp Cantaloupe. I chose to pair it with Misty Moonlight and Basic White. I’m a little bit smitten with this colour combination.
I also used the brand new Exciting Times Bundle (Exciting Times Stamp Set & Rounded Rectangle Punch) from the new Catalogue. This design is inspired by a project in the new Catalogue too.
First, the large image was stamped tone on tone in Crisp Cantaloupe. Everything stamped in the new In Colors uses the new style Stampin’ Pads.
Next, the image was stamped again twice onto Basic White, along with the ‘starburst’ image. The sentiment, also from the Exciting Times Stamp Set, was then stamped in the centre.
These were then cut out using the coordinating Rounded Rectangle Punch.
The pieces were then assembled together with the two punched shapes sitting behind the large rectangle.
A length of Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack and some Iridescent Pearls were coloured using Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends.
Once the Twine had dried, it was turned into a swoosh to sit behind the sentiment that was raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, the coloured Pearls were added.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Crisp Cantaloupe 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.
