Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices!  I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope this series has inspired you with some fun color combinations. Today’s project features a Yummy Yellow color, Lemon Lolly. Lemon Lolly is a soft yellow that’s part of Stampin’ Up!’s Subtles Color Collection. Here’s how it compares with some other yellows.

I love to create with “Color Buddies”…combining different shades of the same hue. Today’s card features Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight (with a pop of Granny Apple Green).

I had so much fun creating this card. The Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder made it quick & easy to emboss & die cut the lemons at the same time!
Our hybrid embossing folders create ornate die-cut pieces with rich texture in one simple pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The dies fit inside special ridges in the embossing folder for easy, one-step cutouts with dimension. Use the dies and embossing folder together or separately for a variety of looks and styles. You get texture, depth, detail, and zest out of the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder!

I embossed the white background piece. I stamped the lemons on another piece of Basic White and embossed and die cut them (at the same time). I popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Here’s a closer look.

I love the details you get with this set! The Sweet Citrus Stamp Set and the Hybrid Embossing Folder are retiring soon. Both are on sale for a great price! (Too good to pass up in my opinion!)
The embossing folder AND dies are 50% off! Reg. $33 SALE $16.50

You get extra flower and leaf dies so you can cut multiple at the same time.

The stamp set in on sale for $18.40 (Reg. $23)

When life gives you lemons . . . you make greeting cards with the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set! This stamp set is full of zesty image stamps and sweet sentiments to send well wishes to your favorite people. You can create lemons. limes, oranges, and grapefruit with this set. Great for so many different occasions.

I created this card for my neighbor. She makes the BEST lemon bars! Whenever we have a get together, Midge brings her signature dish and it’s always a big hit!

Here’s the card “recipe”:

• Card base (Lemon Lolly): 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Cardstock Layer (Daffodil Delight):  5 x 3 3/4
• Basic White (Embossed Layer): 4 7/8 x 3 5/8
• DSP (Bright & Beautiful): 1 1/4 x 4 7/8, 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope)
  
  Inside layers:

• Daffodil Delight:  5 1/8 x 3 7/8
• Basic White: 5 x 3 3/4
• Bright & Beautiful DSP: 5 x 5/8
  

I added some leftover die cuts on the inside along with Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine. I’ve made this same card with limes (using the sentiment “Have a zesty birthday”) for a friend’s birthday that was celebrated with margaritas. Cheers to that!

Do you have a special recipe/signature dish that you are known for? My grandmother made the best chocolate chip cookies. My husband is known for his signature brownies and my specialty dish/appetizer is a hot Crab Dip (I live in Maryland which is known for delicious crabs!). What’s yours? I’d love to hear from you!
