This cute pair of elephants were the stars of last week’s Card & Cuppa for Children class.
The elephants and sentiment are from the Safari Smiles Stamp Set, with the leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set. Both of these sets are on the Last Chance Products list, so grab them while you can.
To begin, the leaves were stamped around the edge in Garden Green to give a jungle effect.
Next, both elephants were stamped onto their rectangles in Secret Sea. With the sentiment stamped onto a separate piece too.
Each elephant was coloured using Stampin’ Blends. Mine are in Cloud Cover and Barely Blush, but the young attendees could choose their own colours.
The elephants were then mounted onto the larger Cloud Cover rectangles before being stuck onto the jungle.
Using Dimensionals, both the baby elephant and the sentiment were raised up in the foreground.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this picturesque landscape collage.
It used the Untouched Landscapes Stamp Set and is inspired by a project from the most recent Catalogue.
I previously taught this project using this Stamp Set previously, but this design has a lot of fussy cutting!
My colour combination is a mix of Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Golden Glow from the new In Colors, with Old Olive, Garden Green and Balmy Blue, alongside Basic White.
Each section is stamped onto a separate piece of cardstock. Most are tone on tone apart from the Barely Blush and Basic White pieces.
For the Barely Blush section, the image was turned upside down to create a slightly different look to the mountains above.
Every piece is then cut along the top edge. The flowers at the bottom are then coloured with Stampin’ Blends and the leaves with a Blender Pen.
Using a Blending Brush, the section at the top becomes the sky.
Each piece is then carefully layered to create the scene, before cutting off the excess from the edges.
Finally, a sentiment from the Safari Smiles Stamp Set is raised up on Mini Dimensionals.

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.

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.

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.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I continued my run through of the new In Colors by introducing Hydrangea Hue.
This is not quite a blue, but also not quite a purple, so it will be a great colour to use with both.
For this project, I used it alongside two other In Colors, Secret Sea and Cloud Cover, plus Basic White.
The Wild Bunch Stamp Set, June’s Product of the Month provides the images.
First, the checked image was stamped multiple times across the background., with the sentiment added to the corner.
Next the Rounded Rectangle Punch was used to cut out the shape in two colours.
Using Secret Sea, the cute snail was stamped onto the Basic White Shape.
This was then coloured in using Stampin’ Blends.
The Secret Sea Shape was cut in half and glued behind to create a layer.
Dimensionals were then used to raise the whole snail piece up.
Finally, some Pearls were added for a touch of subtle bling.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Hydrangea Hue In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.
