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.

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 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.

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.
