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. I made the project in both Very Vanilla and Whisper White as I couldn’t decide which one I preferred. The attendees had a choice of which one to make. Merry Merlot, Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz
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

The Detailed Trio Punch quickly rounds
Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was inspired by Page 119 of the Annual Catalogue. My version has layers and leaves. As I don’t use the Big Shot at my Card and Cuppa classes due to space limitations, I chose to use punches to create the layers instead. Soft Sea Foam creates the gorgeous base
It was the first Card & Cuppa session after my holiday last week and the project was pink flowers and dots. I have made a similar project in the past but this has a different colour scheme and uses different flowers. The colour combination is Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Berry Burst with
I’ve once again returned from a fabulous fortnight in sunny Cyprus. The staff at the hotel we stay at are fabulous, so I made these Gallery Grunge & Artisan Textures thank you cards to hand out. The base card is a Very Vanilla Notecard with Fresh Fig as the main colour. A combination of the
Autumn is here and it’s the perfect time for the Rooted in Nature Bundle. Here is an example in purple and blue. As you can see, I’ve not opted for the usual oranges, greens and browns for this project. It’s great to mix things up a bit with non-standard colour combinations. A lovely colour combination
