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.

July 2026 Card Making Class – Project 1

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.
