Welcome to week thirty five of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop. This is a weekly blog hop where we showcase the stunning range of Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order over 12 months and this week we are featuring Pale Papaya from the 2021-23 In Colours.
The new January-April Mini Catalogue and SALE-a-bration Catalogue launched last week and one of the free SALE-a-bration items you can redeem for a $90 spend is the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.
Pale Papaya is a great colour to use for carrots and I’ve used it both at full strength and stamped off once for the front of my split front, tri-fold fold card. Other colours used include Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow and Parakeet Party.
The Hive embossing folder was used to emboss Early Espresso cardstock to create soil for the front flap. As the split front, tri-fold fold card opens the layers of carrots are revealed.
The middle flap shows carrots above and below the ground. One of the carrot shading stamps works really well to create grass once it is turned on its side.
Split front, tri-fold fold card instructions
- Cut a sheet of A4 Crumb Cake cardstock at 10.5cm down the middle to divide into two long halves that each measure 21cm wide x 10.5 cm high.
- Score both pieces at 14.8cm and fold in half along the score line to make two cards.
- One of these cards will become the card base and the left split front panel, while the other card will be used for the right panel.
- To create the left split front panel measure and cut off the top 5cm across the top of the left panel of one of the cards.
- To create the right panel with the other card, measure 2 cm parallel to the middle score line and cut all the way down the card. You will now have a right panel with a 2cm wide flap which you use to adhere to the back of the right hand side of the card base.
- Fold the right flap over the card base and then fold the left split front panel over the right panel – I’ve adhered the embossed Early Espresso cardstock, the “Thanks” greeting and the bunch of tied carrots to the left split front panel.
- Stamp and decorate the cardstock layers for your right card flap and card base BEFORE adhering to your split front, tri-fold fold card base.
All of the sentiments in this card are from the Thanks a Bunch stamp set, stamped in Early Espresso.

I love this card so much that I made it as well but the Pale Papaya just doesn’t seem to have the color yours has, very dull color. I am using a new ink pad so that can’t be the problem. Can you tell me what you think I’m doing wrong.
I love this card! Great fun fold and the images that carry through to each section are lovely.
What a great design. LOVE all the layers.
Super-cute card, Cath (even though I don’t quite “get” the carrot stamp thing!). You’ve used the stamps and colours so beautifully, and the fold is gorgeous. Lovely way to showcase Pale Papaya. x
You have created a Wow card Cathy. I love the way your card tells a story and gives a panel for the personal greeting. A great fold with very clever use of the stamps.. xxx
You clever chic you! How cool are those carrots in the ground with the Early Espresso Honeycomb embossing. Then you open it up and this is just magical; you have outdone yourself this week, I love it!
You’ve been so creative again Cathy, a great use of both the carrot stamp and a fold just made for it.
What a clever design to showcase this stamp set Cathy. A fabulous card and I love how you have used the stamps in different ways to create the grass and soil definition.
OMG, you are so clever! I love the way that your card tells a story through the different layers. And using the carrot stamp for grass – genius!
