Last week’s Card & Cuppa project is this trio of purple butterflies.
I had been asked for a purple project, so my colour combination is Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape, with Lost Lagoon for the accent colour.
This project uses a couple of Two-Step Stampin’ Stamp Sets, All Aflutter and Greenery Lane.
Make sure you check out the Last Chance Products list to get your hands on the Greenery Lane Stamp Set while stocks last.
To begin, the large leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped in Lost Lagoon to create a background. The smaller leaves were then placed around these, with the infill in second generation stamping.
Then, the tiny flower was added five times in Fresh Freesia.
Next, the butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set were stamped twice onto a separate piece in the purples. Once in first generation, then again in second generation. They were then cut out using the coordinating All Aflutter Punch.
This gave us six butterflies, three slightly lighter than the others. Three were then chosen for the final project. I chose one dark and two lighter ones for mine.
A sentiment from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Triple Banner Punch is then stamped, layered and added to the bottom.
Each of the butterfly wings curled using a Paper Folder and then stuck to the project using Mini Dimensionals. These are placed to cover where the large and small leaves join each other.
Finally, small Iridescent Pearls are stuck in the centre of each of the five tiny flowers.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used a new Bundle from the Online Exclusives range.
The Simply Leaves Bundle (Simply Leaves Stamp Set & Simple Leaf Punch) were recently released as part of the July Online Exclusives range.
If you’ve been around a while, you’ll know I love the punches, so this set just had to fall into my basket.
Rather than an autumnal feel, I chose to create a more summery project with my colours.
My colour combination was Berry Burst, Strawberry Slush, Petal Pink and Highland Heather, along with Basic White.
First, the background ombre was created by using Blending Brushes with Petal Pink, Strawberry Slush and Highland Heather.
Next, one of the smaller leaves was stamped 2nd Generation multiple times onto the ombre.
The leaf veins image were stamped 3 times onto a separate piece and these were then coloured with Blending Brushes. They were then cut out using the coordinating Punch.
Any additional colour was then added to the cut shapes.
Each leaf was then scored along each of the vein lines and then gently folded along them to give some additional shaping.
A sentiment, also from the Stamp Set was stamped in Berry Burst onto a shape cut out using the Triple Banner Punch. The layer was cut out in Berry Burst before they were stuck together slightly offset.
The top right leaf was stuck down using glue, while the other leaves were attached to the sentiment to create one piece.
That whole piece was then added using Dimensionals to raise it up.
Finally, three Iridescent Pearls were coloured using a Stampin’ Blend, also in Berry Burst, and 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 my run through of the new In Colors by introducing Hydrangea Hue.
This is not quite a blue, but also not quite a purple, so it will be a great colour to use with both.
For this project, I used it alongside two other In Colors, Secret Sea and Cloud Cover, plus Basic White.
The Wild Bunch Stamp Set, June’s Product of the Month provides the images.
First, the checked image was stamped multiple times across the background., with the sentiment added to the corner.
Next the Rounded Rectangle Punch was used to cut out the shape in two colours.
Using Secret Sea, the cute snail was stamped onto the Basic White Shape.
This was then coloured in using Stampin’ Blends.
The Secret Sea Shape was cut in half and glued behind to create a layer.
Dimensionals were then used to raise the whole snail piece up.
Finally, some Pearls were added for a touch of subtle bling.

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.
