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 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.

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 completed my round up of the new In Colors by introducing Peaceful Pine.
As Wimbledon also started last week, it was time for my annual ‘inspired by Wimbledon’ project, so this new green fitted in perfectly.
My colour combination was Peaceful Pine, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Basic White.
To begin, leaves from the Greenery Lane Stamp Set were stamped around the edges in Peaceful Pine and Fresh Freesia. The Two-Step leaf was stamped 1st generation for both the outline and inner.
Then, the small flowers were added in Lemon Lolly.
Next, the circles were cut out and the sentiment from Exciting Times Stamp Set was added. These were then layered together. I of course had to use Circle Punches for the sentiment to represent a tennis ball!
A length of the Essentials Baker’s Twine was coloured using Stampin’ Blends and made into a swoosh.
The sentiment circles were then raised up on Dimensionals.
Finally, Iridescent Pearls were coloured, again using a Stampin’ Blend, and added to the centre of three of the flowers.
The picture below shows a comparison of the new Peaceful Pine In Color against current Stampin’ Up! Colours.
And here are all of the colours in the new In Color 2026-2028 Collection. All of the new colours, along with the brand new ink pad design can be found in the current Catalogue.
