Hi there!
It’s Day 29 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
A super simple CAS/Royal Mailable card today. The focal point is the delicate Simon Says Stamp Christmas Tree die from 2015 which I cut from some of my patterned mirror card – just look at those colours and the shimmer!
The sentiment is from a Pinkfresh set that I received for last year’s Create & Connect festive event.

Hi there!
It’s Day 28 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
I’ve had this Elegant Deer die by Sizzix for quite some time but I can’t remember when I last used it. Look at those fabulous antlers!
Today I did a bit of partial die cutting to extend the deer’s neck so that I could tuck it into the oval frame that I created from The Greetery’s Golden Egg die sets. I added a LOT of large pearls – this is definitely not suitable for the Royal Mail!
Anyway, the background is some old Bo Bunny paper and the sentiment is from a Pinkfresh set that I received for last year’s Create & Connect festive event.

Hi there!
It’s Day 27 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
It’s time for some of those beautiful trees from Papertrey Ink’s Enchanted Forest stamp and die sets! I love these trees – so quirky and fun to use!
For my CAS card, I paired it with a die from the Stamp Market’s Oblong Hexagon dies and some of my patterned paper mountain.
The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Holiday Words set.

Hi there!
It’s Day 26 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Do you ever buy a beautiful die set and then struggle with using it? That’s exactly what happened with this fabulous Poppystamps Nordic Holly Sprig. I couldn’t wait to get it last year but then I had a hard time coming up with card designs.
Today I paired it with Mama Elephant’s Oval Deco Frame and Creative Expressions’ Winter Wreath 3D embossing folder.
The sentiment is from a Mama Elephant set called Mini Holiday Messages.

Hi there!
It’s Day 25 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Today’s card is actually made with a couple of rejects from other cards I started to make earlier this month!
I’ve had this sweet Kaisercraft Christmas Pine die for AGES – I can’t even remember when I bought it, which is extremely unusual for me! Anyway, I actually made this tree on Day 1 but ended up going with another die cut on that day. The background frame is Impression Obsession’s Geometric Cutout 2 die which I have had in my festive wreath collection for as long as I had it! Well yesterday I decided to use it as my focal point but decided it was too big for what I wanted…. then I realised the die cut would work well as a background! So that’s what I did today!
The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps set called Simple Sentiment Strips Holidays.

Happy Festive Friyay!
It’s Day 24 of LucieG’s Christmas in July and my first twofer of the challenge.
I was planning to make a card with a wreath today but all my dies seemed a little larger thank what I had in mind so I decided to create my own. I was originally planning to just use smaller circle dies cuts but then I saw the larger circles that my die had also cut so I decided to make a second card with those. I’m not too sure anyone else can tell they are supposed to be wreaths though… maybe I should have added some bows?
I used sentiments from an older Hero Arts set called Birds & Branch Christmas and a Lawn Fawn set called Little Snowglobe Add on.
Thanks for stopping by!
