Last Week’s Card & Cuppa for Children – Cutest Crew

Last week I held my first Card & Cuppa for Children Class of Summer 2026.

As I had a mix of those who had been to these sessions before and some new faces, I designed this cute bright bird project.

It uses the Cutest Crew Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range, and is a version of this project from July’s monthly Card Making Class.

First, the footprints were stamped on the bottom half of the card in Early Espresso. We used a piece of cardstock to mask the top section.

Happy Birthday was then stamped in top corner in Basic Gray.

Two shapes, one in Granny Apple Green and one in Basic White were cut out using the Rounded Rectangle Punch.

The birds are stamped onto the white rectangle shape and then coloured using a Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.

A strip of Granny Apple Green is stuck across the project.

Next, the green rectangle shape is cut in half and stuck to the top and bottom of the birds to create a layer.

The bird piece is then raised up over the strip using Dimensionals.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Sweet Foliage

For last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I used the Sweet Foliage Stamp Set.

This is a large stamp with just the one image of lots of leaves. It last made an appearance on this project at July’s Card Making Class. It is part of the Online Exclusives range.

I chose to use Peaceful Pine, one of the new In Colors, for all of the stamping.

To start, the image is stamped and then coloured in a rainbow/colour wheel style using Watercolor Pencils. As the leaves are quite small, I chose not to use a Blender Pen as the colouring may have gone ‘muddy’.

Next, using the Exciting Times Stamp Set and matching Punch, the sentiment is created. The bottom layer is stamped and cut out by hand, with the Basic White layer punched out.

A length of Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack creates a swoosh behind the sentiment. Dimensionals raise the sentiment above the swoosh.

Finally, some tiny coordinating In Color Butterflies are added to the project.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Introducing Hydrangea Hue

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.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Introducing Crisp Cantaloupe

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.
