Last week’s Card & Cuppa project is this trio of purple butterflies.
I had been asked for a purple project, so my colour combination is Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape, with Lost Lagoon for the accent colour.
This project uses a couple of Two-Step Stampin’ Stamp Sets, All Aflutter and Greenery Lane.
Make sure you check out the Last Chance Products list to get your hands on the Greenery Lane Stamp Set while stocks last.
To begin, the large leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped in Lost Lagoon to create a background. The smaller leaves were then placed around these, with the infill in second generation stamping.
Then, the tiny flower was added five times in Fresh Freesia.
Next, the butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set were stamped twice onto a separate piece in the purples. Once in first generation, then again in second generation. They were then cut out using the coordinating All Aflutter Punch.
This gave us six butterflies, three slightly lighter than the others. Three were then chosen for the final project. I chose one dark and two lighter ones for mine.
A sentiment from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Triple Banner Punch is then stamped, layered and added to the bottom.
Each of the butterfly wings curled using a Paper Folder and then stuck to the project using Mini Dimensionals. These are placed to cover where the large and small leaves join each other.
Finally, small Iridescent Pearls are stuck in the centre of each of the five tiny flowers.

The third project from my recent Card Making Class was this pretty scene.
With an ‘It’s all new to me!’ theme, this project uses the 5 BRAND NEW 2026-2028 In Colors. It gave the attendees that opportunity to use the new magnetic design Stampin’ Pads too.
Using the Untouched Landscapes Stamp Set from the May-August Catalogue, each image is stamped in a different colour.
A sentiment and layers, from the Banner Sayings Bundle are then added. I think this looks like a sign you would see on a walk in the countryside.
There really isn’t a lot to do to create this project, so it’s great for a quick and simple card. You could make several and then add the sentiment later depending on the occasion.
I love how the colours work really well together in the scene too.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used a new Bundle from the Online Exclusives range.
The Simply Leaves Bundle (Simply Leaves Stamp Set & Simple Leaf Punch) were recently released as part of the July Online Exclusives range.
If you’ve been around a while, you’ll know I love the punches, so this set just had to fall into my basket.
Rather than an autumnal feel, I chose to create a more summery project with my colours.
My colour combination was Berry Burst, Strawberry Slush, Petal Pink and Highland Heather, along with Basic White.
First, the background ombre was created by using Blending Brushes with Petal Pink, Strawberry Slush and Highland Heather.
Next, one of the smaller leaves was stamped 2nd Generation multiple times onto the ombre.
The leaf veins image were stamped 3 times onto a separate piece and these were then coloured with Blending Brushes. They were then cut out using the coordinating Punch.
Any additional colour was then added to the cut shapes.
Each leaf was then scored along each of the vein lines and then gently folded along them to give some additional shaping.
A sentiment, also from the Stamp Set was stamped in Berry Burst onto a shape cut out using the Triple Banner Punch. The layer was cut out in Berry Burst before they were stuck together slightly offset.
The top right leaf was stuck down using glue, while the other leaves were attached to the sentiment to create one piece.
That whole piece was then added using Dimensionals to raise it up.
Finally, three Iridescent Pearls were coloured using a Stampin’ Blend, also in Berry Burst, and added to the project.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa, I continued my run through of the 2026-2028 In Colors. This time, I was introducing Golden Glow.
I chose to create a more masculine-style card using the Gears & Textures Stamp Set from the May-August Catalogue. This Stamp Set has coordinating Dies as part of a Bundle, but for this project, we only used the Stamp Set.
My colour combination alongside Golden Glow was Pecan Pie and Early Espresso. As I wanted to create a warmer card, to mirror the warmth of Golden Glow, I chose Very Vanilla over Basic White.
To begin, the various splats, textures, cogs, chains and more (except the small screw head shape) were stamped across the background.
Next, using a Blending Brush and Pecan Pie, various areas were inked to give a more industrial feel.
Two shapes were cut using the Triple Banner Punch, with one stamped using the coordinating Banner Sayings Stamp Set, To create the background layer for the sentiment, the Early Espresso piece was cut in half and stuck to the back.
Before assembling everything together, the small screw head image was stamped several times. This was our ‘bling’.
Finally, the card was assembled with the sentiment raised up on Dimensionals.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Golden Glow In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the gorgeous Flowers Fair Stamp Set with the spotlight technique.
As the attendees could use any colours for their project, I chose to use the In Color Secret Sea as the accent colour.
The Flowers Fair Stamp Set, from the Online Exclusives range, was stamped and then coloured using Stampin’ Blends. I chose greens, yellows and oranges for my design.
Using Wink of Stella, the centre of the flowers were given a touch of shimmer.
When the colouring was completed, a circle was cut out of the piece using a Circle Punch. A layer was also cut using a larger Circle Punch. The punches are also from the Online Exclusives range.
These two pieces were then stuck together.
A sentiment made using the Banner Sayings Bundle (Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Triple Banner Punch), also from the Online Exclusives range.
The cut out piece was then aligned and stuck to the background piece using Dimensionals.
Mini Dimensionals and a dot of glue were used to attach the sentiment.
Finally, some Rhinestones were added for a touch of bling.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa session, I used a fun Bundle from the January-April Mini Catalogue.
This is the Woolly Friends Bundle (Woolly Friends Stamp Set & Woolly Friends Builder Punch).
Its a great card for Easter, or any other occasion where you want to send a fun message to someone. How lovely is the sentiment?
To begin, we used Granny Apple Green and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Pads, along with some Blending Brushes to create the grass and sky.
Next, the butterfly, grass and tulips were stamped tone-on-tone onto the coloured background.
Each of these were coloured using a range of Stampin’ Blends. The tulips in Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade, with a Balmy Blue butterfly.
On a separate piece of Basic White Cardstock, the sheep body, head and bow images from the Stamp Set were stamped in Basic Gray.
These were then cut out using the coordinating Woolly Friends Builder Punch. The bow was also coloured using Stampin’ Blends.
A sentiment, again from the Stamp Set was added to a shape cut out using the Triple Banner Punch from the Online Exclusives range.
The sheep was then stuck together.
Finally, the sheep and the sentiment were raised up on Dimensionals.
