Welcome to week three of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we are showcasing another brand new 2023-25 In Colour: Moody Mauve. Moody Mauve is a warm, soft dusky pink with a slightly purple undertone, similar to a previous In Color, Rococo Rose.
Here’s how Moody Mauve compares to the current Stampin’ Up! pinks and purples.
As I’ve made a lot of fancy folds lately and I didn’t have much time this week to create my Moody Mauve card, I’ve made a very quick floral wreath birthday card using products from a beautiful new bundle called the Textured Floral bundle.
I’ve paired Moody Mauve with Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow, stamping Moody Mauve and Old Olive both at full strength and stamped off once.
After stamping and die cutting different pieces I decided to arrange them into a wreath.
To create a wreath, stamp the sentiment first then arrange the foliage and flowers around the sentiment in a ring. A double row and a double bow of linen thread instantly transforms it into a hanging wreath.
The inside of the card is stamped with another sentiment from the Textured Florals stamp set.
As I was making my wreath card I realised the colour combination I’d used would also be perfect for another new stamp set – the Prized Plant stamp set – so I quickly made another card.
I’m not sure what plant this stamp is – maybe a Caladium? I just love the different colouring options this stamp set offers with its 3-step photopolymer stamping.
Both cards have been embellished using the Moody Mauve dots from the 2023-25 In Colour Dots.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain – I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week!

I love this gorgeous wreath card. So pretty. Thanks for sharing some tips on making it. I can’t wait to ink this stamp set. Enjoy your day!
Your wreath flower card is so beautiful and such a lovely colour combination. So good to use the combination on the second card looks great!
Stunning cards, Cathy, I love your choice of colours and the wreath is just so pretty.
This is gorgeous! I love how you’ve created a wreath with this stamp set and the colours are beautiful.
An absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous wreath card Catherine. You had me at the Crumb Cake base and Linen Thread bow! The arrangement of the flowers is perfect. Your second card is simplistic beauty. I just love the colour of those leaves!
Cathy you have created a beautiful wreath using this floral stamp set. I love the muted colours and how it’s paired with the rich jewel colour of the MM dots. The leaves of the plant on your second card look fabulous.
Oh no Cathy, I had successfully decided I didn’t need this bundle until I saw your beautiful wreath ;). I can’t believe how effective the colour scheme on the Prized Plant is, it looks real! Love both of them.
Two very different cards but both great advertisements for Moody Mauve. I do like the linen thread for the wreath, and the sentiments in that set are quite lovely.
These are very much your colours with Crumb Cake bases, Cathy. I love the beautiful wreath, and then the next card, at first I though it was dies until a closer look, reavealing it is stamped. Amazing cards!
OMG ,your wreath card is STUNNING! So beautiful. And your second card is so eye catching – the coloured leaves look amazing.
Oh, I love, love, love your wreath card Cathy! Crumb Cake is a beautifully rustic complement to the somewhat muted stamped flowers and foliage. Gorgeous colour combo, and use of second-generation stamping to provide colour variation. I really like how you stamped the sentiment first, then arranged (and popped up) the wreath around it.
Oh Cathy, I do love wreaths and your hanging floral wreath is gorgeous. Your arrangement of these beautiful flowers is delightful around the sentiment. The linen bow and hanger is perfect. Your second card is wonderful as well. xxx
Oh I do love your colour combo Cathy and even though you said you were time poor both of your cards are lovely especially the first one.
