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.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa class project used the new Product of the Month (POTM) for July.
This pretty Two-Step Stampin’ Begonia Belle Stamp Set really is a beauty, with a summery feel.
It is also really easy to quickly pull a card together with just a few colours too.
My colour combination here is Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake and Basic White.
First the background is given a flare using Crumb Cake and a Blending Brush. Next, the ‘splats’ from the Stamp Set are randomly added across the background. I wanted to give the effect of a trellis or garden fence.
Three leaves and two flowers were stamped onto separate pieces. The first image was stamped first generation, with the second image stamped second generation. Using the same Stampin’ Pad and two generations allows the image to be two shades of the same colour.
All of the flowers and leaves were then fussy cut leaving a small white border around the edge.
Using a Paper Folder to curl the edges of the leaves and only popping glue at the end nearest the centre of the card gave them a slightly more natural feel.
The flowers were also curled and stuck together, along with a sentiment.
These pieces where then stuck on top of the leaves using Dimensionals, again popping these near the centre of the piece.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa class was the first session since the release of the new Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.
As there are five brand new In Colors, I decided the project would be introducing Barely Blush, along with the fabulous new magnetic ink pads.
I paired this new colour with Gray Granite and Basic White for a more monochrome look.
For this project, I also used the new All Aflutter Bundle (All Aflutter Stamp Set and All Aflutter Punch).
First, one side of the background was stamped with one of the images.
Next, on a separate piece, the butterflies were stamped. This was two-step stampin’, so I used Gray Granite for the outline and Barely Blush for the centre.
These were then punched out using the matching punch.
A sentiment from the Banner Saying Stamp Set was added onto a thin strip of coordinating cardstock.
The butterflies had their wings curled slightly using a Paper Folder before the top and bottom ones were attached using Glue Dots.
For the middle buttefly, this was attached using a Mini Dimensional to raise it up off the card.
Finally, some Rhinestones were added to give a bit of sparkle.
I’ve also created a handy picture of how Barely Blush compares to the current Stampin’ Up! core colours.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the Greenery Lane Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue.
My colour combination was inspired by the Moody Palette Glossy Dots from the Online Exclusives range.
I chose Old Olive, Secret Sea, and Basic White. Instead of Cloud Cover I used Pool Party, plus Calypso Coral to add a bit more zing!
To begin, the various leaves were stamped around the centre. For the ones with Two-Step Stampin’ the outline was stamped first, then the centre was stamped second generation in the same colour to give a lighter effect.
Flowers were then dotted across the project.
Next, a sentiment, also from the Stamp Set was stamped onto a separate piece and stuck onto a punched circle layer. This 2″ Circle Punch is also in the Online Exclusives range.
The whole sentiment piece was stuck to the project using Dimensionals.
Finally, some of the Moody Palette Glossy Dots were added.

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.

This poinsettia card is the design for Week 10 of my Countdown to Christmas 2025 series. It was also one of the projects from the ‘Special Christmas Cards’ session at my Christmas Card Making Day.
These ‘special’ cards are those you would hand-deliver to the special people in your life. There are extra steps in the designs including additional layers. They are also handed over in an envelope handmade from DSP.
If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll know that my special Christmas cards projects always include a poinsettia. This year is no different!
For this project, stars from the Ornamental Stamp Set are stamped onto the background using Lemon Lolly.
Next, the poinsettia and flower image is stamped twice and cut out using the Christmas Greenery Stamp Set and Dies Bundle. A combination of Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Lemon Lolly are used to colour in the images. The outline is stamped in Basic Gray.
These two images are then stuck to the background using Dimensionals.
Using the Traditional Labels Stamp Set and Dies Bundle, a sentiment is stamped, cut out and layered together.
A length of the fabulous Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine is looped before the sentiment is attached, again using Dimensionals.
Using Wink of Stella, a touch of sparkle is given to the centres of the flowers.
Some of the items used on this project are now Last Chance Products, and some are discounted too. Don’t miss out on getting your hands on these fabulous items.
