Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set & Dies

~ Karen Young

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I CASEd this project I made a good few years ago.

The previous project was from way back in 2019, and this is my updated version.

It uses Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla as the main colours.

First, background leaves from the Painted Lavender Stamp Set are stamped, with the ends of the leaves overlapping at the centre.

Butterflies are from the Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set and cut out using the coordinating Dies from the bundle.

Just 3 pencils from the Watercolor Pencils pack 1 are used to colour them in, then a Blender Pen softens the colouring.

Three lengths of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack are added across the centre.

The sentiment from the Stamp Set is layered onto circles cut from Circle Punches from the Online Exclusives range.

To create the illusion of the butterflies flying off the page, the wings were curled with a Paper Folder and a line of glue down the centre of the body only.

For the centre butterfly, this and the sentiment are raised up on Dimensionals.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Introducing Shy Shamrock

~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project introduced another new 2024-2026 In Color.

The new Shy Shamrock was paired with Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White to create this green Birthday card.

Leaves from the Painted Lavender Stamp Set were stamped around the edge. Then colour was added across the stamped leaves using a Blending Brush.

A length of coordinating In Color Bordered Ribbon was then added across the piece.

Using the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Bough Punch, the central leaves are created. They are coloured using Stampin’ Blends.

The Simply Said Stamp Set provides the sentiment which the leaves are attached to.

Each leaf is then attached to the sentiment and then stuck to the ribbon with Tear & Tape.

Mini Dimensionals are stuck to the tips of the leaves to raise them up.

Finally, Iridescent Pearls are coloured wiht Stampin’ Blends before being stuck to the project.

The image below shows how the new Shy Shamrock compares to other current Stampin’ Up! colours.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Introducing Petunia Pop

~ Karen Young

For last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I designed a project using another of the new 2024-2026 In Colors.

Petunia Pop was the colour I chose and I combined it with Old Olive, Petal Pink and Basic White.

All of the stamping was from the Painted Lavender Stamp Set, with pieces cut out using the matching Painted Lavender Dies.

The design is inspired by a project in the now retired previous Jan-April Mini Catalogue.

First, the stems are stamped, with the flowers stamped on top. Another set of flowers are then stamped onto a separate sheet with first and second generation stamping to provide different depths of colour.

These flowers and the additional stems are cut out using the dies and attached to the project.

Butterflies are then added in the corner.

Wink of Stella is dotted onto the flowers and butterflies as needed.

Finally, some sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio are added for a little touch of bling.

As this design is sentiment free, it makes it great for any occasion. You can either leave it as it is, or add a sentiment nearer the time.

If you are a fan of Petunia Pop, here is comparison of it to other current Stampin’ Up! colours.
