Last week’s Card & Cuppa project, this punch art dragon has a bit of twist. I hold separate Card & Cuppa for Children projects during the summer holidays and usually design a separate project for them as well. This year, I decided that both the adult and children sessions should make the same project. The
I was asked to design a project using the ‘lighthouse set’, so here is the High Tide lighthouse. I’ve used a Crumb Cake layer for the stamping as it allows the lighthouse and rays to stand out more. The sepia-type tones of Soft Suede for the headland and sun/moon, Crumb Cake for the sea and
Instead of working with a particular stamp set at last week’s Card & Cuppa classes, I chose to focus on a set of tools instead. The tools were sponges. The background uses one of the Decorative Masks and a Sponge Brayer to apply the colours. Here it’s Lovely Lipstick with Cajun Craze over the top.
Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was inspired by roses. I have a beautiful rose bush in my front garden that blooms throughout the summer and this year is no exception. In fact the blooms are so pretty that I just had to take a picture. So, when I was thinking about a project for

At last week’s Card & Cuppa session the attendees got to play with a new bundle – Pop of Petals. This project is my version of the sample on Page 47 of the Annual Catalogue. I’ve used Petal Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Gorgeous Grape and Flirty Flamingo ink. The stamp set has a number of flower
I realised that I hadn’t used the Waterfront Stamp Set at a Card & Cuppa class, so it was time to change that. This project is very similar to this one we made at my Waterfront class. It’s great to use previous designs and tweak them slightly. For this version I’ve used new colours and
Have you seen the fabulous new stamp set called Rooted in Nature in the Annual Catalogue? It’s one of those sets I fell in love with straight away, so it just had to be the focus of last week’s Card & Cuppa project. Especially as it was a masculine theme due to Father’s Day. This
At last weeks Card & Cuppa session Bunch of Blossoms met the new colours. This project is very loosely based on the sample on Page 159 of the new Annual Catalogue. New colours Shaded Spruce, Granny Apple Green made an appearance, along with returning Mint Macaron. There were also three In Colors, Blueberry Bushel, Grapefruit
