Colour Creations Week 4 Sweet Sorbet




The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. We love to Blog Hop sharing all the Stampin' Up! Colours. This is week four of this round of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and the In Color featured this week is Sweet Sorbet.



As I was ironing the other day, I was inspired to try to recreate my t-shirt as a One-Sheet-Wonder. It had occurred to me that Painted Poppies stamp set was quite close the the featured flower, and Hello Beautiful stamp set has squiggles and blobs which would be useful.


I didn't cover the whole sheet of card, thinking some white spaces might be useful, but I'm not sure if they really were. I was able to make six cards from that stamped sheet though, and that made me happy.


This card with three segments is a fun one to make with designer series paper that co-ordinates or like this with contrasting colours and texture. Sweet Sorbet was embossed with Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and Old Olive with the multi-lingual 'Thanks' embossing folder. It comes paired with another with 'Hello' in many languages.


You take 3 card-front-sized pieces of card, and slice all three at the same time so that the pieces are inter-changeable. No special measurements are needed, so long as you have 3 that match each other.


For the other 3 cards, there is a regular card front, mounted on a black matt, another with the card front sliced into 4 pieces and lastly, a slimline card with Postage Card Punch pieces lined up along the centre.

  3. It's amazing where inspiration can spring from and you have replicated your shirt design so perfectly, Rachel. Love how you've used that embossing folder and chopped up your one sheet wonder hand stamped DSP to make these beautiful cards.

  6. Ironing? What's that? LOL!! Your shirt was a fabulous inspiration to you, and I can't believe that you got six cards from your OSW! The white space on the full card front piece looks great.

  7. Beautiful card Rachel. But please don't swear Ironing is not a word used in this house. I so love the poppies they are lovely and bright, they come up so well in Sweet Sorbet.
