Welcome to week twenty-two of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Daffodil Delight, a sunny and bright yellow from the Brights family. I’ve used the stunning Mediterranean Blooms Suite collection to make some thank you cards for my wonderful customers.
Some of the dies in the Citrus Blooms Dies die cut images from the Mediterranean Blooms DSP, however they die cut the patterns that feature oranges.
As we are featuring Daffodil Delight this week I chose to fussy cut the DSP pattern with the larger lemons that does not have a matching die. These images were very easy to fussy cut out.
I used the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White cardstock layer. This was also die cut out using the large arch die from the Garden Meadow Dies. As this arch has a very Mediterranean feel, it works really well with this suite!
The “Thanks” sentiment is from the My Small Business Stamp Set, white heat embossed onto Night of Navy cardstock. The Old Olive cardstock fronds are die cut using the loose foliage dies from the Citrus Blooms Dies.
Never waste the edge pieces of a DSP design you have fussy cut! These pieces are perfect for decorating the inside of your cards. I’ve also used up leftover strips of the other Mediterranean Blooms DSP I used on the front of the card.
The inside sentiment is also from the My Small Business Stamp Set.
These cards were sent out on the weekend and I’ve already received some lovely messages from my happy customers who loved the cards and their thank you gifts.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Palmieri. I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!

What lovely bright cards!!!
These are lovely. Bright and cheerful. Who wouldn’t want to receive one of these. Thanks, Cathy.
That’s quite a bit of fussy cutting Cathy, but you have made some amazing cards. You customers will be very excited to receive them. The arch and the tile embossing certainly do give them a Mediterranean feel
Such a beautiful design, Cathy! The embossed arch die-cuts are my favourite elements of the cards, along with the beautiful white-embossed sentiments on navy. Just gorgeous.
