Welcome back to our Colour Creations Showcase as we continue our showcase of over 50 beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours in alpha order.
This week we are showcasing Sahara Sand, the lightest neutral in the Stampin’ Up! colour range.
Recognise the colours on my card this week? You probably won’t because they are the brand new 2021-23 In Colours!
From top to bottom in my ink pad stack you can see Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.
My card is “something old, something new” this week, with the “new” being the InColours and the “old” being the lovely floral stamp set and dies that I’ve white heat embossed onto my Sahara Sand card base.
I’ve loved the Bloom & Grow stamp set and I’m going to miss it a lot when it retires in a few week’s time.
After heat embossing the larger floral stamp (top left on stamp case image), the “thank you” sentiment and some of the smaller sprigs I used my blender pen to lift ink directly off the stamp pads and colour in the images. I snipped the larger image into two pieces and arranged the flowers behind my sentiment.
Before adhering everything to the card with dimensionals, I wrapped linen thread around the Sahara Sand Layer and tied a bow.
The notecards with matching envelopes make card making so quick and easy – I used a few left over leaves to decorate the back of my envelope.
Sahara Sand is a great colour to colour directly onto, especially after you have heat embossed in white. Although I’ve used my ink pads and blender pen for this card, you could also use water colour pencils with the blender pen, Stampin’ Write markers or your Stampin’ Blends.
All of the new InColours are available as Stampin’ Blends as well as Stampin’ Write markers and you can purchase them from the 1st May.
I can’t wait to see what everyone else has created with Sahara Sand today!

The new in colors look fabulous on the sahara sand!
I love your card it is so pretty and using the blender pen with the new colours straight onto the Sahara sand with the white embossed outline it is so gorgeous. The colours just work so well together. LOVE IT!
Those colours are really pretty against Sahara Sand, one of my favourite colours in the cardstock range.
What a pretty card, Cathy, I love all the new InColors together. I think it’s the first time in a while they have all coordinated so well together. I love how you split the image in two to fit either side of your sentiment, beautiful.
Lovely card Cathy, I’m very sad to see this set go in a couple of weeks
What a lovely pretty card Catherine, the white embossing really stands out on the Sahara Sand.
Your card is really pretty. I’m going to miss that stamp set too. It looks amazing coloured over the top of the Sahara Sand cardstock.
Gosh Catherine, those new In Colours look gorgeous with Sahara Sand and fabulous with the white embossing. A really sweet and pretty card.
Sahara Sand is a lovely neutral base for those GORGEOUS new In Colors, Cathy! I love the look of the white-embossed images and sentiment on Sahara Sand, too. Such a pretty card.
