As it’s Valentine’s Day this week, a love-themed card was the design for Card & Cuppa with these adorable love cats. I’d seen various versions of this design on Pinterest (too many to find one person to credit) so made my own version. Some tone-on-tone stamping using the Hardwood Stamp creates the fence. A few
At last week’s Card & Cuppa sessions we used another new stamp set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue, Amazing Life. The sentiment seemed quite appropriate as Card & Cuppa is held in local cafes and coffee shops that serve delicious cake. Plus, if you can’t have cake on your Birthday… Using Gray Granite, the sentiment is
Last week’s Card & Cuppa class again used a new Stamp Set called Incredible Like You from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, the attendees all made this pop-up snowman card. The theme was a Christmas card suitable for children. The Balmy Blue base card is a zig-zag with the snowman popping out the fold in the back piece. Using the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set, we stamped a piece for
As last week’s Card & Cuppa was the final one before we head into Christmas cards, I decided to use Botanical Bliss. I’ve not used this stamp set at class before but it has some useful sentiments in a fabulous font. It also has some lovely botanical images in flowers, leaves and a bird. To
After the random nature of the previous week’s class, I chose the Tailored Tag Punch for this clean and precise project. It’s similar to this project I’ve taught previously, but this one covers the whole card front. The project uses 10 Tailored Tag Punch shapes – 5 in each colour, plus a sentiment. ‘Happy Birthday’
At last week’s Card & Cuppa classes it was the turn of this floral grunge project. I know this type of crafting doesn’t suit everyone, but it’s good to step outside your comfort zone every now and then. This project is inspired by Page 157 of the Annual Catalogue where I’ve made a few changes.
