Welcome to week twenty 27 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 Mango Melody from the brights family.
Is this the easiest card I’ve ever made? Well it probably was… that is, until I stuffed up the stamping of the sentiment and had to stamp and die cut another sentiment on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, adhering it over the “mis-stamped” original sentiment!
This card is made with a stamp set I originally overlooked in the June – December catalogue – the Soft Seedlings stamp set. It is a “Distinktive” stamp set, which means it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.
I’ve paired Mango Melody with Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake and Basic White for my (almost) simple stamping card.
I stamped the Daffodil Delight maple leaves first and then stamped the Mango Melody maple leaves. A length of linen thread was tied around the Basic White layer and tied into a bow, before it was adhered to the Crumb Cake base.
The inside of the card has a couple of Mango Melody maple leaves as well.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

I hope you can join us then.
Oh wow – such a gorgeous card Cathy. I love your colour combo – the mango melody and daffodil delight leaves are amazing. As has been said, the sentiment on the stitched rectangle is delightful – no one would know it is hiding an oops. Xxx
What a stunning card Cathy, I so love leaves and yours look so real. I think I might have to get this set.
Oh my goodness, those leaves look amazing, the colours are perfect! Any mishap is a chance for embellishment, and you certainly did that with your die cut sentiment. I would still class this is simple stamping 😉
OMG, stunning!! You sure hit a winner with your gorgeous card. The leaves look amazing, they take me back to memories of raking and burning plane tree leaves as a kid (after playing in the piles of leaves, of course!). I would never have known that the die cut piece for the sentiment wasn’t intentional – it looks fantastic.
Stunningly simple card Cathy. I love how you’ve added the greeting on a Stitched Rectangle, a happy mistake I’d say.
This is a beautiful card, Cathy – great colour choices for those leaves! The sentiment was not a stuff up, but a “creative opportunity”. You rose to the challenge. It looks great!
