Christmas in July 2026 – Day 14

Hi there!

It’s Day 14 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

I finally had more time to craft today and as a result I enjoyed the process again – I wasn’t rushing to just get my card – any card – made!

I picked up the Lisa Horton/Spellbinders Festive Ornaments die set in a sale earlier this year. I was particularly drawn to the Christmas pudding design because I don’t actually have any pudding dies – just a couple of older pudding stamps. I used some Craft Consortium paper to create the puddings themselves and then some of my fabulous Tonic Studios speciality paper for the custard!

I adhered the puddings to the Waffle Flower Radiating Diamond Frame and added the perfect sentiment that I found in an older Hero Arts set called Holiday Messages and Frames.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 13

Hi there!

It’s Day 13 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

Once again I didn’t have much time to craft so I pulled out the easy-to-use Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Tree die set and some of my coloured paper mountain and got cutting. Sadly there was a casualty today – my Tim Holtz/Sizzix sidekick! The handle broke off! I’m going to see if there’s a way of fixing it tomorrow.

Anyway, after assembling my tree, I adhered it to a background panel that I’d embossed with another new-to-me folder – Spellbinders’ Christmas Cameos 3D folder.

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 12

Hi there!

It’s Day 12 of LucieG’s Christmas in July and I used another new die that arrived yesterday – the eye-catching Birch Press Design Scandi ornament.

I paired it with a pine branch from The Greetery and a Mama Elephant sentiment from their Puffy Holiday Greetings set.

The background panel is embossed with a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder that I think is retired now.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 11

Hi there!

It’s Day 11 of LucieG’s Christmas in July and today a wonderful crafty order landed on my doormat – I always love it when the Memory Box family has a new release and this month all three brands have some fabulous Christmas in July dies.

I used two new Poppystamps sets (Trimmed Trees and Merry Christmas Fluffy Script), cut from my ombre/patterned mirror card and adhered to a background panel that I embossed with the Simon Says Stamp Star Lattice embossing folder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 10

Happy Festive Friyay!

It’s Day 10 of LucieG’s Christmas in July but I didn’t have much crafty time this evening so I stepped outside my CAS comfort zone and created a quick card with a large snowman using the Happy Snowman die set by Trinity Stamps!

I used some of my patterned paper mountain and the Simon Hurley/Spellbinders Sparkling Anow 3D embossing folder for the background.

The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Holiday Words set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 9

Hi there!

It’s Day 9 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

The star of today’s card is a beautiful Creative Expressions die called ‘Under the Tree’ which I used to create this card a couple of years ago. I decided that my fabulous Hunkydory ombre/patterned mirror card would work very nicely with the die but I wanted to see more of it so this time I kept the little die cut branches in situ!

The embossing folder is also by Creative Expressions and the sentiment is from an old My Favorite Things set.

The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Holiday Words set.

Thanks for stopping by!
