Welcome to week eight of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Lemon Lolly is a soft and pale yellow that’s in the Subtles family, sitting somewhere in between Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla.
I just had to use the Sweet Citrus bundle for my Lemon Lolly card this week. The Sweet Citrus bundle is a must have if you love dimension on cards because it contains a hybrid embossing folder (embossing folder and matching die) that can be used to emboss, die cut or do both at the same time!
The gorgeous striped Lemon Lolly DSP on the front of the card is from the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper, one of the DSPs on sale for the month of June.
All the layers are die cut using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, including the sentiment. There wasn’t a long narrow die that fit the sentiment, however using a larger die and die cutting it twice, the die can be made to fit the sentiment.
The lemons are stamped in Lemon Lolly, lemon rinds in Daffodil Delight, leaves in Parakeet Party and lemon blossoms in Lemon Lolly.
I wasn’t sure which ribbon to use as an embellishment. This is the new 3/8″ (1 cm) Lemon Lolly ribbon from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack ribbon, cut in half lengthways.
Or this is a bow of the new Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack. Which do you prefer?
These Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins add just the right touch of bling. This week I’ve used the gold sequins, however there is also a soft blue and a light pink in the pack.

Cathy what a lovely card using this set! I am never sure about the fruit sets! You have made a really sweet card and I love the deckled rectangles behind as well. The sentiment is perfect! Lovely card!
Fantastic way to showcase Lemon Lolly, I love the Deckled Rectangles which work beautifully on your card.
Such a great choice of stamp set for this week’s colour, Cathy. I love the yellows for your lemons and the bright green is perfect. I actually like the Lemon Lolly ribbon bow. I love how we all like different things, but in the end, any option works!
No bow would be my choice, Cathy. I love the layers, the texture of the lemons and the fresh, fruity colours.
What a great choice to feature Lemon Lolly and doesn’t Parakeet Party look fabulous with it. Personally I like the Lemon Lime Twist bow but you could even go without like your final photo.
Love your cards Catherine, I thought that the Sweet Citrus bundle worked so well for this weeks colour as well.
Oh, great choice of products to showcase Lemon Lolly, Cath! I prefer the Lemon Lime Twist bow … I love how Parakeet Party and Lemon Lime Twist complement Lemon Lolly so well. I really like the matted Deckled Rectangle layers, and like to use that technique for my sentiments, too (great minds, ha ha). Such a pretty card. x
I love that you have chosen this set for lemon lolly. It is a great choice and you have showcased it perfectly.
Oh so gorgeous Cathy. Your sweet citrus card is perfect for Lemon Lolly. I can’t choose a favourite between the Lemon Lolly or Lemon Lime Twist ribbon bows – both look great. xxx
I love this gorgeous card, Cathy! The citrus hybrid embossing folder helps create a beautiful effect that you have showcased so wonderfully!
