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.

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.

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 15

Hi there!

It’s Day 15 of LucieG’s Christmas in July and today I’m playing with a new-to-me die from the ‘olden days’!

I have several intricate Christmas tree dies by Memory Box – they’re all over 10 years old and I still cherish them. Last year, I  saw another tree online – the Kensington Christmas Tree from 2014. I searched EVERYWHERE for it and eventually found it in a closing down sale! I was so happy to get my hands on it… I can’t believe how long its taken me to use it.

Fun Fact – this tree was actually cut to be a supporting layer to a colourful version that I was working on… but then I loved the simplicity of the white and how nicely the etched lines appeared on the petals and leaves so I pivoted. This may just be my favourite card of this year’s Christmas in July!

The background panel is cut with a die from Spellbinders’ Modern Oval set and the sentiment is from a fabulous versatile sentiment set by Paula Pascual.

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.
