Welcome to the Colour Creations Showcase……the 2020-2021 version. This weekly showcase is brought to you by the Stampin’ Up! Art With Heart Team, Australia.
Week 25: Melon Mambo
Melon Mambo is one of the colours in the Stampin’ Up! Brights collection…….and is a bright mid tone pink. There are several Melon Mambo products available in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. These include Classic Stampin’ Pad, A4 Cardstock, Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill, Stampin’ blends and the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Brights collection.
Melon Mambo also features in the super versatile Plaid Tidings DSP.
SNEAK PEEK ALERT!!!
My card today features several products from the upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue. Items will be available to purchase from 1 January 2021.
Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who attended OnStage@Home were able to order some products early.
I chose to order from the Fine Art Floral suite collection. The suite includes a stamp set and coordinating dies (available as a bundle – 10% discount), designer speciality acetate, ribbon, an embossing folder and designer series paper. The DSP is gorgeous and features painted florals on one side and more muted patterns on the other.
my card:
When making my Melon Mambo card I used a piece of the Golden Garden Designer Speciality Acetate. The pack includes three sheets of gold foiled acetate. It is glorious!!!
The flower is from the Art Gallery stamp set which is a Two-Step photopolymer set of 15 stamps. I stamped the first part of the flower using Melon Mambo ink and for the second, I used white craft ink. I used my Stamparatus so that I could apply several ‘coats’. I then cut it out using the coordinating die from the Floral Gallery set of dies.
I layered up two different sized stitched rectangles, the bottom one was embossed using the Subtle embossing folder. Between them I captured a piece of the Fine Art ribbon. It is flecked with gold and is stunning. A few gilded gems were added as a finishing touch.
The greeting is also from the Art Gallery stamp set. I am totally smitten with the font and sentiments in this set and can’t wait to share more products from the collection in the coming weeks.
Thanks for visiting but, there is so much more to see. Please hop back to Catherine’s blog where you will find links to all the other team members and their Melon Mambo creations.

Michele, your card is simply gorgeous – I absolutely love it! From the acetate to the beautifully stamped flower, the double mount white rectangles and gorgeous ribbon – just stunning!!!
A beautiful card Michele and I love how you’ve used the acetate and then teamed the ribbon and gems to tie it all together.
Beautiful card Michele, I can’t wait until I can purchase some of the new product. you make me jealous, But thanks for the up and coming inspirations.
Love seeing what you’ve made with this gorgeous bundle, Michele – it’s a clear favourite for me, already. The way you’ve stamped the flower is so pretty. The acetate adds a real elegance to your card (and the gold looks fab against Melon Mambo). I agree with you about the sentiments in this set; an awesome font. Beautiful card!
Ooh how pretty does that acetate look?!!! I love how it stands out against the pink card base. Gorgeous layout with the white rectangles and stamped flower.
I just love how you made a stunning card with a simple colour palette and wow that specialty acetate paper in the background just sets it off so well!
What a gorgeous card Michele, I can’t wait to have a play with this stamp set. I love your sneak peak it is a great layout!

Beautiful card Michele, I love the gold patterned window sheet with the Melon Mambo card base.
Oh Michele, snap on the stamp set and dies! I love the effect of the white ink with the Melon Mambo and how you’ve layered the ribbon between the stitched rectangles. Thank you for participating in the Colour Creations Showcase tonight.
