Welcome to week thirty-two of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we are showcasing Melon Mambo, a vibrant pink.
I gifted an ‘experience’ rather than a physical gift to my sister-in-law for her birthday so I printed out a voucher for the experience onto Basic White Cardstock.
I custom made a box to fit the voucher and used strips of cardstock to make a top for the box as I did not have a large enough piece of DSP that matched the colours in the voucher to top the box.
The top of the gift box was created using a square of Basic White Cardstock slightly smaller than the top of the box lid. I covered this square in an adhesive sheet and measured and marked the middle point of the square.
Angled strips of Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Gorgeous Grape, Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight and More Dazzle Specialty Paper were arranged in a pattern to cover the adhesive sheet.
A die cut circle of Melon Mambo cardstock covers the joins in the middle.
A smaller die cut circle of More Dazzle Specialty Paper added a final touch of bling.
A very quick birthday card was created to match, using the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper.
I’m so looking forward to attending this Festival of Sydney event with my sister-in-law!
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!

Wow, your gift box and card are so joyous! The colourful rays are fabulous! I hope you both have a wonderful time at the event.

Oh wow, what a gorgeous gift box you have created, Cathy. It is perfect to go with the ‘experience’ gift. And to have the card coordinate too, amazing!
What a fabulous way to package your gift Cathy. Your card works perfectly with the colours you’ve used for the box
Wow, Cath, this is like a disco party in a box! Such a bright, happy card and gorgeous box to contain the fun gift for your sister-in-law. Melon Mambo fits in just nicely with all the other bright colours, and the sparkle.
