Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Natural Botanicals

February 24, 2025February 21, 2025 ~ Karen Young

At last week’s Card & Cuppa Class, we used another new Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue.

This Stamp Set is Natural Botanicals and is part of the Reversibles range.

Reversibles are specially designed to allow you to stamp using both sides of the stamp set. You get both a detailed image and a block image from the same stamp.

For this project, I used Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Basic Beige and Crushed Curry for the stamping. I also used Daffodil Delight for the colouring, all on a background of Basic White.

First, the sentiment, from the Cake Fancy Stamp Set is stamped. Followed by the leaves across one side of the project.

Next, the flowers were stamped on a circle cut out using a Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range.

These were coloured using the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack. The flowers were also given a little touch of Wink of Stella in their centres.

A length of coordinating Bordered Ribbon was stuck across the centre.

After layering the flower circle onto a larger circle, also cut out using a Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range, this was attached using Dimensionals.

Finally, coordinating Sequins from the Sequins Trio Pack were added.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Lovely Lily Pad

January 13, 2020January 12, 2020 ~ Karen Young

For the first Card & Cuppa sessions of 2020, I reached for the fabulous new Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set.

Lovely Lily Pad. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

Lovely Lily Pad is a FREE Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set and is one of the Reversibles range from Stampin’ Up!

As you can see, the detailed outline stamp is one side of the stamp, with the reverse being the shadow-like image.

The lily pads are stamped in Old Olive and the flowers in Rococo Rose. These are then coloured using Stampin’ Blends in Petal Pink and Granny Apple Green.

Balmy Blue is used for the water images and is stamped off for the flower reverses.

There is a set of matching dies to cut out the shapes, but I don’t have those, so the attendees had to fussy cut instead!

A sentiment from the new Label Me Bold Stamp Set is stamped in Granny Apple Green to co-ordinate with the colouring.

Finally, everything is put together with SNAIL, with the large lily pad and flower raised up using Dimensionals.

Not only is SAB a great time to earn FREE products, it’s also a great time to join Stampin’ Up!

My team is called the Lily Pad Stampers, so it seems quite appropriate that this Stamp Set is in the SAB Brochure. Why not get in touch to find out more.
