Colour Creations - Calypso Coral Week 16

Hi fellow crafters! Welcome to this week’s 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop where team members of the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! demonstrators showcase a new colour every Wednesday. This week’s colour is Calypso Coral and it is part of the Subtles colour family.

The card I have made is a fancy fold called a Triple fold shutter card. The are a few variations of this fold when I did a search on Pinterest for ideas. I wanted to showcase the lovely prints on DSP from the new upcoming September to December 2023 mini catalogue by Stampin’ Up!. This DSP is called Garden Walk. And of course it contains Calypso Coral!


I have also used Pretty Peacock mats behind the DSP. After trimming all the different layers, it was just a matter of adhering the pieces to the panels of the Calypso Coral card stock base. 

As mentioned previously a search on Pinterest will provide you with measurements and instructions on how to score and cut the card base. I started with an A4 sheet cut on the short side at 14.8cm (i.e. normal card width).


Another angle. The sentiment and images are from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and stamped with Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock inks.

  1. How good is it that we received these beautiful papers in time for our Calypso Coral share, Rosa?! You've used them so nicely, and shown off our feature colour beautifully. The delicate Timeless Arrangements images complement the small prints on the papers so well, too.

  2. I love the combo of Pretty Peacock with Calypso Coral - the rich blue/green really helps the coral to pop. Your fancy fold is fabulous, and shows off the pretty DSP perfectly.

  4. A wonderful fancy fold Rosa. I love your version of this fold. It’s a little different to others I have seen. It shows the Garden Walk DSP beautifully. I haven’t really paid attention to this DSP but now I want to check it out properly. Love your use to the Timeless Arrangement sentiment & images with this DSP. xxx
