For last week’s Card & Cuppa project I designed an abstract card.
At last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children class, one of the young attendees said they liked rainbows, so I decided to create a very colourful project.
You will notice that this project is the design for my adult session, not the one I run for children. Pop back later in the week for that one!
This card uses 6 colours, plus Basic White. Four colours for the background, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. Then we have Lemon Lolly and Basic Gray for the sentiment.
All of the stamping, apart from ‘Happy Birthday to you’ are from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set.
Each of the images are stamped onto the background in four colours before a slight flare of colour is added using Lemon Lolly and a Blending Brush.
Next, the round image is stamped and cut out, along with a layer using the Circle Punches. The sentiment from the Exciting Times Stamp Set is then added.
Picking three of the colours, strands of Baker’s Twines from the Essentials Pack are then coloured using Stamping Blends.
These are stuck across the centre of the project.
The layered sentiment sits over the top using Dimensionals.
Finally, three coordinating gems from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots are added.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I completed my round up of the new In Colors by introducing Peaceful Pine.
As Wimbledon also started last week, it was time for my annual ‘inspired by Wimbledon’ project, so this new green fitted in perfectly.
My colour combination was Peaceful Pine, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Basic White.
To begin, leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped around the edges in Peaceful Pine and Fresh Freesia. The Two-Step leaf was stamped 1st generation for both the outline and inner.
Then, the small flowers were added in Lemon Lolly.
Next, the circles were cut out and the sentiment from Exciting Times Stamp Set was added. These were then layered together. I of course had to use Circle Punches for the sentiment to represent a tennis ball!
A length of the Essentials Baker’s Twine was coloured using Stampin’ Blends and made into a swoosh.
The sentiment circles were then raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, Iridescent Pearls were coloured, again using a Stampin’ Blend, and added to the centre of three of the flowers.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Peaceful Pine In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.
And here are all of the colours in the new In Color 2026-2028 Collection. All of the new colours, along with the brand new ink pad design can be found in the current Catalogue.

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.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa class once again used the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and Dies Bundle.
We used this bundle from the Online Exclusives range a few weeks ago, but this time the project was very different.
My colour combination for this project used Melon Mambo, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Darling Duckling and Basic White.
Firstly, the background was given a two tone ombre effect with Blending Brushes, Fresh Freesia at the top and Bubble Bath at the bottom.
Next, a flower image was stamped across the background and a Sponge Dauber and Darling Duckling was used to colour the centre of the flowers.
On a separate piece, a circle was punched and the leaves were stamped.
The leaves were given some extra colour around the edge before they were cut out using the dies. This was to avoid leaving a white edge all around.
A flower was then stamped onto the circle and this was also coloured in using Blending Brushes. This was achieved by creating a stencil – stamping the flower and fussy cutting out the centre just along the lines.
The stencil was then lined up over the top of the stamped image on the circle and coloured. Once again, Darling Duckling and a Sponge Dauber provided the centre colour. Plus a light touch of Wink of Stella in the centre too.
Using another Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives range, a layer was punched.
Lengths of Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack we placed across the centre.
The sentiment and leaf were then raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, some coordinating Moody Palette Glossy Dots were added.

Today I’m sharing the 4th and final project from my recent Card Making Class.
The theme for March’s class was Backgrounds and more, so I chose a project where the attendees could grunge as much as they liked.
For this design, I used various shades of brown to create the grunge effect and used Basic Beige instead of Basic White or Very Vanilla to achieve a more muted look.
All of the background stamping used the Swirled Designs Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range. Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso are all used and stamped onto Basic Beige cardstock.
Then, Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie ink are used to add some extra colour across the piece.
Lengths of coordinating Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack were then added.
The Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set, a Product of the Month (POTM) offering provides the sentiment. This is raised up on Dimensionals.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class I combined two requests I had received for projects.
I had been asked for floral and also two-step stampin’, so this project combines both of those things.
My colour combination is Fresh Freesia, Pool Party and Gorgeous Grape. It’s a great combo.
First, the swirled circles from the Swirled Designs Stamp Set are stamped on the background. This stamp set is in the Online Exclusives range. About a third of the background was left as white space to avoid it looking too busy.
Next, the flowers are stamped. These are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set and are two-step stampin’. We stamped the more detailed outline first, then the more blocky image was stamped second generation in the same colour.
Pool Party leaves, from the same stamp set were then stamped at various angles.
Next, Wink of Stella was added to the centre of each of the flowers.
A sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set was also stamped. This had a swoosh of Baker’s Twine, coloured with a Stampin’ Blend added to it.
Finally, the sentiment piece was then raised up on Mini Dimensionals.
