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.

Craftalongathon With Me

One of the biggest benefits of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is the community we belong too. It is welcoming, inclusive and sharing and we are all encouraged to show these qualities too. On Saturday, Stampin' Up! South Pacific (Australia & New Zealand) held an afternoon of crafting on Facebook for us.

The last workshop for the afternoon was a one-sheet-wonder using one 6" by 6" piece of DSP. I wasn't sure if I would do this one, so only prepped at the very last minute, but it was quite simple to cut, since there are only 4 cards.

This paper from Harvest Meadow DSP is actually 12" by 12" sheets but that is easily sorted. I love this soft Misty Moonlight piece, like chambray denim.

To complete these cards I used a variety of stamps, dies and punches and you will see them all at the end of the post. If you feel you need to add any of these supplies to your craft supplies, you can shop in my online shop any time of the day or night.

Unfortunately I've embellished with some gorgeous iridescent pearls not realising that they have been retired. Blue adhesive-backed gems would be a good substitute if you were trying to achieve a similar look.

This will be my November class, and we can do 'all occasion' or 'Christmas', whatever your preference. Four cards for $25, made over 2 ½ hours. To keep the groups smaller and to comply with government regulations, get in touch via 0417 500 681 to book a date for you and a friend or 3. Classes are held in my home studio.
