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.

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.

Today I’m sharing this bright Birthday Card, the final project from my recent Card Making Class.
The theme for the class was ‘It’s all new to me!’ and used Stamp Sets I hadn’t used at a class before.
This design features the Words & Wishes Stamp Set & Dies Bundle from the May-August Catalogue.
I chose bright colours as this would make a great card for a teenager, or someone who is difficult to make for.
My colour combination is Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Poppy Parade, with Basic White. There is also Daffodil Delight in there as an accent too, more on that later.
To begin, a background flare is created in Crushed Curry, using a Blending Brush. Next, the candles are randomly stamped in the same colour.
Parcels are stamped and cut out using the coordinating dies. The birthday word and layer are then also cut out and carefully stuck together.
‘Happy’ is also stamped on a separate piece.
Each piece is then stuck to the background, with the ‘Happy’, ‘Birthday’ and one present raised up on Dimensionals.
As there isn’t a Crushed Curry Stampin’ Blend, I chose to use Daffodil Delight instead to colour the Rhinestone dot above the ‘i’.
Finally, three more Rhinestones were added for a touch of Birthday bling.

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.

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project, I used a new Bundle from the Online Exclusives range.
The Simply Leaves Bundle (Simply Leaves Stamp Set & Simple Leaf Punch) were recently released as part of the July Online Exclusives range.
If you’ve been around a while, you’ll know I love the punches, so this set just had to fall into my basket.
Rather than an autumnal feel, I chose to create a more summery project with my colours.
My colour combination was Berry Burst, Strawberry Slush, Petal Pink and Highland Heather, along with Basic White.
First, the background ombre was created by using Blending Brushes with Petal Pink, Strawberry Slush and Highland Heather.
Next, one of the smaller leaves was stamped 2nd Generation multiple times onto the ombre.
The leaf veins image were stamped 3 times onto a separate piece and these were then coloured with Blending Brushes. They were then cut out using the coordinating Punch.
Any additional colour was then added to the cut shapes.
Each leaf was then scored along each of the vein lines and then gently folded along them to give some additional shaping.
A sentiment, also from the Stamp Set was stamped in Berry Burst onto a shape cut out using the Triple Banner Punch. The layer was cut out in Berry Burst before they were stuck together slightly offset.
The top right leaf was stuck down using glue, while the other leaves were attached to the sentiment to create one piece.
That whole piece was then added using Dimensionals to raise it up.
Finally, three Iridescent Pearls were coloured using a Stampin’ Blend, also in Berry Burst, and added to the project.
