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.

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.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, we used the Words & Wishes Stamp Set to create this fun Birthday Card.
As I wanted this card to be something to send to anyone, I chose a colour scheme to reflect this.
My colour combination is Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Secret Sea, with Daffodil Delight and Basic White.
First, the words from the Stamp Set are stamped across the background in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.
Next, two circles are punched using the Circle Punches. The cake is then stamped in Secret Sea. Candles are stamped onto a separate piece in Daffodil Delight.
Using Watercolor Pencils, the cake was coloured. We also coloured the main body of the candles too, to look a little different to the flame.
These were then cut out using fussy cutting. If you didn’t want to cut by hand, you could use the coordinating Dies.
The cake was layered onto the larger circle before the candles were carefully stuck to the top of the cake.
This whole piece was then stuck onto the project using Dimensionals.
Finally, some Moody Palette Glossy Dots from the Online Exclusives range were added.

The second of the four projects from last weekend’s Card Making Class was this cute Birthday Card.
As the theme of the class was ‘It’s all new to me!’ I chose this new to me Cutest Crew Stamp Set Bundle. This Stamp Set and Dies Bundle is from the Online Exclusives range.
Using Basic Beige and Pecan Pie for my card, layers and background stamping allowed the Basic White and Basic Gray to stand out.
To begin the paw prints are stamped across the bottom half of the background.
Then, the sentiment is stamped in the top corner.
Next, a strip of Pecan Pie is stuck across the background, covering the top of the paw print stamping.
The cats are then stamped in Basic Gray and cut out using the coordinating dies.
These are then brought to life with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.
Dimensionals raise the cats above the strip.
Finally, a Antique Pearl is added to either side of the strip.

At the weekend I held my Monthly Card Making Class. The theme was Backgrounds and More and this is the first of the 4 projects from the session.
This uses the beautiful Flowers Fair Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range. As it is a background stamp, the image does all the hard work.
It is stamped in Basic Gray to give a more gentle outline and then coloured using Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens.
I also used a very light touch of Wink of Stella in the centre of the smaller flowers.
The sentiment is from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, cut out with the coordinating Triple Banner Punch. These items are also from the Online Exclusives range.
Using Mini Dimensionals, the sentiment is raised up above the flowers.
Finally, some Rhinestones are added for a little touch of bling.
I also created a version in the same colours using Stampin’ Blends instead.
This Stamp Set is going to quickly become a favourite of mine and my mind is full of ideas for projects using it.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used a new stamp set that marked the start of the 2026 F1 season perfectly.
This Ready, Set, Go! Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range is great for the F1 fan.
It uses a combination of two In Colors, Secret Sea and Cloud Cover. The stamping is all in Secret Sea.
First, the top section is masked off to allow the cones and flags to be stamped at the bottom. Flags were stamped first with the cones filling the gaps.
Next, the sentiment is added to the top and the car is stamped onto a separate piece.
Then, the cones and the car are coloured using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.
I chose to resemble the Red Bull Racing livery as that is the team based here in my home town of Milton Keynes.
This was then layered onto a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock.
The tyre track image was stamped onto a strip and stuck across the project.
Finally, the car piece was raised up using Dimensionals.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, we used the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set & Dies from the Annual Catalogue.
Using Garden Green, Balmy Blue and Blending Brushes, the background was created.
Next, leaves from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set were stamped across the background and coloured using Blender Pens.
The tree was then stamped onto a separate piece of Very Vanilla in Garden Green and cut out using the coordinating dies.
As the trunk was green, we used an Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil and a Blender Pen to make it brown. The leaves of the tree were then also quickly coloured using the Blender Pen to pull the green.
Next, a sentiment from the set was stamped.
Both the tree and sentiment pieces were raised up on Dimensionals.
This is a great neutral project you could to send to anyone.
