Last week we held our first Card & (Your) Cuppa session. These are my new virtual classes where the attendees are posted a kit and we craft together from our homes over video link, instead of in person. It was a strange experience, but it was lovely to ‘see’ and chat to the attendees as
At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I based the project on this one, but used a trio of purples instead. I used Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, plus Purple Posy in place of Whisper White/Vanilla. For the background stamping, an image from the Gallery Grunge Stamp Set provided the detail. As with the other
Earlier this week I held one of my monthly Papercrafting Classes. The theme was Bugs, Beasts and Butterflies and the attendees all made 6 cards. The first was a butterfly card using the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and co-ordinating Nature’s Thoughts dies. This combines Rococo Rose and Rich Razzleberry (a good tongue twister!) with Whisper
For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I returned to the Annual Catalogue and a stamp set we hadn’t used for a while. Here’s the project using the beautiful Butterfly Gala Stamp Set.

As there was no Card & Cuppa last week, I’m sharing a card for one of my regular class attendees. I chose to use Daisy Lane Once again and make another version of this project. I had Soft Sea Foam and Rich Razzleberry on my desk from a different project, so decided to use them
Today I’m sharing a Butterfly Gala Birthday Card with you. It also uses the Very Versailles Stamp Set and the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set. The background leaves are in Soft Sea Foam with the butterflies in Rich Razzleberry. Corners are rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch. A layered sentiment using the Timeless Label Punch is
The final project from my recent Stamp-a-Stack Class is this Daisy Lane Card. It’s inspired by a project from Stampin’ Up! I saw on Pinterest. Don’t forget to check out my boards here. As you know, I love a monochrome-style project and this is so pretty in Smoky Slate and Whisper White. The leaves from
At last week’s Card & Cuppa we made a project that was inspired by Page 46 of the brand new Annual Catalogue. I find the Annual Catalogue is a great place for ideas, and I use it when my crafting mojo needs a bit of a lift. Instead of the purples on the original design,
