Last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children project was this colourful Birthday Card.
You may notice it is similar to this project the adults made at their Card & Cuppa class earlier in the week.
This is deliberate!
I like to design a project to work across both classes, sometimes making small changes to each one.
This version has swapped the coloured Baker’s Twine for strips of card. There is also no colour flare and the design is portrait instead of landscape. Everything else stays the same.
Once again, the background is stamped using the Gears & Textures Stamp Set.
Then, the three strips of colour are added across the project.
Next, the circle is stamped and cut out, along with a layer using Circle Punches.
This sits over the top of the strips on Dimensionals.
Finally, as for the adult’s class, some Moody Palette Glossy Dots are added.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project I designed an abstract card.
At last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children class, one of the young attendees said they liked rainbows, so I decided to create a very colourful project.
You will notice that this project is the design for my adult session, not the one I run for children. Pop back later in the week for that one!
This card uses 6 colours, plus Basic White. Four colours for the background, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. Then we have Lemon Lolly and Basic Gray for the sentiment.
All of the stamping, apart from ‘Happy Birthday to you’ are from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set.
Each of the images are stamped onto the background in four colours before a slight flare of colour is added using Lemon Lolly and a Blending Brush.
Next, the round image is stamped and cut out, along with a layer using the Circle Punches. The sentiment from the Exciting Times Stamp Set is then added.
Picking three of the colours, strands of Baker’s Twines from the Essentials Pack are then coloured using Stamping Blends.
These are stuck across the centre of the project.
The layered sentiment sits over the top using Dimensionals.
Finally, three coordinating gems from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots are added.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I used the Sweet Foliage Stamp Set.
This is a large stamp with just the one image of lots of leaves. It last made an appearance on this project at July’s Card Making Class. It is part of the Online Exclusives range.
I chose to use Peaceful Pine, one of the new In Colors, for all of the stamping.
To start, the image is stamped and then coloured in a rainbow/colour wheel style using Watercolor Pencils. As the leaves are quite small, I chose not to use a Blender Pen as the colouring may have gone ‘muddy’.
Next, using the Exciting Times Stamp Set and matching Punch, the sentiment is created. The bottom layer is stamped and cut out by hand, with the Basic White layer punched out.
A length of Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack creates a swoosh behind the sentiment. Dimensionals raise the sentiment above the swoosh.
Finally, some tiny coordinating In Color Butterflies are added to the project.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I completed my round up of the new In Colors by introducing Peaceful Pine.
As Wimbledon also started last week, it was time for my annual ‘inspired by Wimbledon’ project, so this new green fitted in perfectly.
My colour combination was Peaceful Pine, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Basic White.
To begin, leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped around the edges in Peaceful Pine and Fresh Freesia. The Two-Step leaf was stamped 1st generation for both the outline and inner.
Then, the small flowers were added in Lemon Lolly.
Next, the circles were cut out and the sentiment from Exciting Times Stamp Set was added. These were then layered together. I of course had to use Circle Punches for the sentiment to represent a tennis ball!
A length of the Essentials Baker’s Twine was coloured using Stampin’ Blends and made into a swoosh.
The sentiment circles were then raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, Iridescent Pearls were coloured, again using a Stampin’ Blend, and added to the centre of three of the flowers.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Peaceful Pine In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.
And here are all of the colours in the new In Color 2026-2028 Collection. All of the new colours, along with the brand new ink pad design can be found in the current Catalogue.

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.
