Hi there!!
Next up this evening is my third card for the September Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge .
I managed to pick up the lovely Cheerful Blossoms suite in a sale earlier this year and have been looking forward to colouring it. Today was the day!
I used the Octagon Grid coverplate die to ground my images and added a sentiment from the Playful Petals set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again!!
Next up this evening is my second card for the September Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge .
For this card, I used the beautiful new Seasonal Sprigs suite. I just love a foliage set and this one has some wonderful sentiments too!
To add a little something extra to the wreath, I adhered it to the fabulous circle die. I’ve been looking at it for a while and was so excited when it popped up in a Dies to Die For sale this weekend! It only arrived this morning!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!!
Well I ended up taking a much longer break than expected – it was just too hot to craft in my craftroom for most of August!
When I saw the September Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge I just had to play along – the colour combo is so ME! This is actually the first of three cards I made for the challenge over the past few days.
Although I did make cards during the Pinkfresh event in August, I was feeling a bit out of practice so I pulled out one of my favourite ever suites (Garden Medley), lots of inks and got crafty! This is such a beautiful image and an absolute joy to colour.
I loved this card by TaeEun and that inspired me to be brave and cut up my carefully coloured image with used my brand new Celestial Weave coverplate die! I adhered just one layer of card behind the frame and inlaid the negative die cut pieces.
Of course, I could barely bring myself to hide any of the image behind a sentiment but eventually I chose a small sentiment from the August 2025 Create & Connect kit!

Hi there!
Well, it’s the first day of August and Christmas in July is over! But it’s my tradition to make one bonus card so I wanted to keep that going this year!
I’ve coveted The Greetery’s Pine and Berry background stamp for quite some time and managed to get hold of it from Seven Hills Crafts last year. When I realised that I still hadn’t used it, I knew it had to be the foundation of my bonus card. I stamped it with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide – and it stamped so beautifully! I didn’t want to hide too much of the image so I chose a couple of older dies – Memory Box’s Antique Pine label die and Simply Graphic’s Les Baies et Feuillages de Noel cut from glitter card.
The sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamps set called Simple Sentiment Strips Holidays.

Happy Festive Friyay!
It’s Day 31 of LucieG’s Christmas in July! This year was tough but I got through it and made my 31 cards (well 32 as I had one twofer).
Today I used the wonderful Simon Says Stamp Intricate Bottlebrush Trees die set and the notepad dies from Simply Graphic together with some Craft Consortium paper, glitter card and stickles!
The sentiment is from an older Altenew set called Christmas Stockings.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 30 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Today I wanted to create a festive version of this card that I created for Heart Week 2025 and this card for Egg Week 2025.
I wasn’t convinced that the design would work well with snowflakes which are far more delicate than the hearts and eggs that I previously used. Then I struck on the idea of adhering the snowflakes to circles which would schowcard each unique image and allow for layering! So I got cutting with my circle dies and punches and snowflake dies from Simon Says Stamp, Lawn Fawn and Heffy Doodle.
The sentiment is from a Mama Elephant set called Mini Holiday Messages.
