Christmas in July 2026 – Day 22

Hi there!

It’s Day 22 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

For my super-simple card I finally used a bargain die called Snowflake Curl that I picked up from Simon Says Stamp last year! I cut it a couple of times from some of my fabulous Hunkydory patterned mirror card and arranged them around a sentiment from the It’s Just Paper Winter Sentiments stamp/die set that I got from Craftstash before it closed down.

I hadn’t opened the set before and was quite shocked to discover that the dies are solid – like the earliest coordinating dies on the market – so you have to cut the card first and then stamp the sentiment on the die cut. Thankfully this is an easy process with the Misti!

It was quite a difficult card to photograph because I really wanted to show off that fabulous mirror card with all its different colours, but I got there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 21

Hi there!

It’s Day 21 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

I love the Simon Says Stamp Heirloom Ornaments embossing folder which I got late last year. The inspiration from today’s card came from an uncredited card on Simon Says Stamp’s website – presumably made by a DT member who simply embossed a couple of kraft triangles to create adorned trees! Brilliant idea.

I kept my take super-simple and Royal Mailable with just one tree cut with a die from Altenew’s Festive Triangles Stamp Set.

The sentiment is from one of my go-to Mama Elephant sets called Holiday Messages.

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 20

Hi there!

It’s Day 20 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

Welcome back to one of the cutest little Rudolphs in my collection – this chap is from the Ho Ho Deer Circle by Simon Says Stamp. I’ve used it a lot since I bought it back in 2019!

Today I paired him with a circle sentiment frame from My Favorite Things and also added an embossed background created with an older Crafters Companion folder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 19

Hi there!

It’s Day 19 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

Time for a little white-on -white crafting today! I used the fabulous Frosty Nordic Tree die by Simon Says Stamp and adorned it with lots of pearls – so definitely not a Royal Mailable card.

The sentiment is from an older Simon Says Stamp set called Tabbed Sentiments Holiday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 18

Hi there!

It’s Day 18 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

I finally used the sweet Spellbinders/Lisa Horton Little Birdies die set for my card today. I picked this set up in a sale as I thought those little birds in booties were just the cutest. Well yes, they are cute but they are also rather fiddly! It took me quite a while to assemble these birdies, but I got there in the end! Thank goodness for my trusty Craft Consortium paper which meant that I didn’t worry about ink blending as well!

I created my little scene within the very old (and retired) Simon Says Stamp Holiday Frame.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 17

Hi there!

It’s Day 17 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

The star of today’s card is the fabulous Pointed Evergreens die by Simon Says Stamp – this is a large but delicate die and looks so fabulous when cut from glitter card.

I adhered it to some of my Basic Grey patterned paper mountain and added a sentiment from a Sizzix set.

Thanks for stopping by!
