Last week’s Card & Cuppa class project used the new Product of the Month (POTM) for July.
This pretty Two-Step Stampin’ Begonia Belle Stamp Set really is a beauty, with a summery feel.
It is also really easy to quickly pull a card together with just a few colours too.
My colour combination here is Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake and Basic White.
First the background is given a flare using Crumb Cake and a Blending Brush. Next, the ‘splats’ from the Stamp Set are randomly added across the background. I wanted to give the effect of a trellis or garden fence.
Three leaves and two flowers were stamped onto separate pieces. The first image was stamped first generation, with the second image stamped second generation. Using the same Stampin’ Pad and two generations allows the image to be two shades of the same colour.
All of the flowers and leaves were then fussy cut leaving a small white border around the edge.
Using a Paper Folder to curl the edges of the leaves and only popping glue at the end nearest the centre of the card gave them a slightly more natural feel.
The flowers were also curled and stuck together, along with a sentiment.
These pieces where then stuck on top of the leaves using Dimensionals, again popping these near the centre of the piece.

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.

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.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Hydrangea Hue In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.

Today I’m sharing the 4th and final project from my recent Card Making Class.
The theme for March’s class was Backgrounds and more, so I chose a project where the attendees could grunge as much as they liked.
For this design, I used various shades of brown to create the grunge effect and used Basic Beige instead of Basic White or Very Vanilla to achieve a more muted look.
All of the background stamping used the Swirled Designs Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range. Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso are all used and stamped onto Basic Beige cardstock.
Then, Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie ink are used to add some extra colour across the piece.
Lengths of coordinating Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack were then added.
The Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set, a Product of the Month (POTM) offering provides the sentiment. This is raised up on Dimensionals.
