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.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, we used the Words & Wishes Stamp Set to create this fun Birthday Card.
As I wanted this card to be something to send to anyone, I chose a colour scheme to reflect this.
My colour combination is Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Secret Sea, with Daffodil Delight and Basic White.
First, the words from the Stamp Set are stamped across the background in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.
Next, two circles are punched using the Circle Punches. The cake is then stamped in Secret Sea. Candles are stamped onto a separate piece in Daffodil Delight.
Using Watercolor Pencils, the cake was coloured. We also coloured the main body of the candles too, to look a little different to the flame.
These were then cut out using fussy cutting. If you didn’t want to cut by hand, you could use the coordinating Dies.
The cake was layered onto the larger circle before the candles were carefully stuck to the top of the cake.
This whole piece was then stuck onto the project using Dimensionals.
Finally, some Moody Palette Glossy Dots from the Online Exclusives range were added.

At the weekend I held my monthly Card Making Class. The theme for the class was ‘It’s all new to me!’ and used new products from the May-August Catalogue and Online Exclusive ranges.
The first of the four projects used the Sweet Foliage Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range.
As this is a large stamp, it does a lot of the hard work for you and was perfect for this any occasion card.
I chose to stamp the image in Mossy Meadow to create darker lines and to help the colouring to stand out.
The leaves were then coloured using Stampin’ Blends in Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive. By colouring sections down the project from lightest to darkest, it created a lovely ombre effect.
After punching two circles, the sentiment from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set, a former Product of the Month, was stamped in Mossy Meadow.
I chose Old Olive card for the project layers.
Using Dimensionals, the sentiment was raised up above the background.
Coordinating dots from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots were then added as a finishing touch.
This project would look great in various colours. I’ve got lots of ideas for when I next use the Stamp Set.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa class once again used the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and Dies Bundle.
We used this bundle from the Online Exclusives range a few weeks ago, but this time the project was very different.
My colour combination for this project used Melon Mambo, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Darling Duckling and Basic White.
Firstly, the background was given a two tone ombre effect with Blending Brushes, Fresh Freesia at the top and Bubble Bath at the bottom.
Next, a flower image was stamped across the background and a Sponge Dauber and Darling Duckling was used to colour the centre of the flowers.
On a separate piece, a circle was punched and the leaves were stamped.
The leaves were given some extra colour around the edge before they were cut out using the dies. This was to avoid leaving a white edge all around.
A flower was then stamped onto the circle and this was also coloured in using Blending Brushes. This was achieved by creating a stencil – stamping the flower and fussy cutting out the centre just along the lines.
The stencil was then lined up over the top of the stamped image on the circle and coloured. Once again, Darling Duckling and a Sponge Dauber provided the centre colour. Plus a light touch of Wink of Stella in the centre too.
Using another Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range, a layer was punched.
Lengths of Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack we placed across the centre.
The sentiment and leaf were then raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, some coordinating Moody Palette Glossy Dots were added.
