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.

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.

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 I took inspiration from a project I saw on the Stampin’ Up! website.
This is my inspiration project. My version uses a combination of Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Secret Sea from the In Colors, along with Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.
Each shape was cut out twice in the three colours using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. One of each colour was then stamped tone-on-tone using images from the Choose Happy and With You in Mind Stamp Sets.
Using a Blender Pen, the candles were given a bit more definition.
The sentiment was created using the Banner Sayings Stamp Set and Three Banner Punch from the Online Exclusives range.
Each of the hexagons, except the cakes was then stuck to the card and any overhang cut away.
Dimensionals were then used to raise up the cake hexagon, with Mini Dimensionals then raising the left-hand side of the sentiment piece.
Finally, some coordinating In Color Flat Pearls were added to the project.
This bright and zingy Birthday Card is a great project for teens. Plus, it can easily be replicated using different stamp sets and colours for any occasion.

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.

As we’ve had so much rain lately, I decided to brighten things up at last week’s Card & Cuppa class with this rainbow project.
It uses tone-on-tone with a colour combination of Basic Beige and Very Vanilla.
A strip of cardstock was held across the project while the leaves were stamped across the background. This was to avoid losing leaves behind the centre strip.
The leaves are from the Natural Botanicals Stamp Set. They were then coloured using Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.
It was fun seeing this rainbow of leaves come to life during the colouring phase.
Next, a strip of Very Vanilla is stuck across the project to hide the masking. Any excess is then cut off.
Then, the sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set is stamped, again tone-on-tone and stuck onto the Vanilla piece. Once again, the excess is removed.
Finally, a couple of Antique Pearls are added to either side of the project.
This is a great design to replicate and you could use different colours and stamp sets.
