Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Christmas in July 2020!
Today I’m playing along with the current challenge over at Time Out Challenges where the theme is ‘days gone by’. I immediately thought of my retro ornament dies by Simply Graphic. Aren’t they fabulous. They bring back so many memories! I the branches dies are also by Simply Graphic. The sentiment is from a very versatile sentiment set by Mama Elephant.

Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Christmas in July 2020!
Today I’m playing along with the current sketch challenge over at The Paper Players – I had so much fun with all these layers. I used the Deco Trees die by Memory Box. It’s difficult to see from the photos, but I have some slightly distressed silver cardstock which I used behind the trees – I am still reeling from the shock of finding this cardstock so quickly! That never normally happens, does it!

Hello everyone!
Last year, I dedicated July to Christmas and reaped the benefits in November/December when my life got super busy and I had no time for cardmaking! I LOVED having a good supply of cards to send to all my friends. After all the challenges of 2020 to date, I have been REALLY looking forward to this July and LucieG’s Christmas in July 2020. Plus I have a nice break from work planned this month. Hurrah!
So, for Christmas in July Day 1, I pulled out the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Alicia Snowflake to cut a panel created with Distress Oxide inks. using the sketch from the current Case this Sketch challenge, I then embossed a panel using a Crafter’s Companion folder. Finally I added a sentiment from Mama Elephant and a few gems to complete my take.

Hi Everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge !
I cut a couple of pieces of matt mirror cardstock using the Simon Says Stamp Burst die and stuck the two die cuts together. I adhered a piece of patterned paper to my card base and added the starburst die cut. Finally I added the sentiment – the stamp is from a set by Simon Says Stamp and the letter dies are from My Favorite Things.
I’m also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge where the theme is friendship.
Thank for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
Happy Saturday! For today’s card. I’m playing along with the current Color Throwdown challenge (pink, blue, green and yellow).
I just bought this gorgeous Vine Butterfly by Memory Box. I can’t believe I missed it when it was released a couple of years ago, isn’t it pretty? I lightly blended some Tumbled Glass distress ink to my card base and then added another die cut (Fresh Foliage, also by Memory Box) before adhering the butterfly and a few sequins. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted again. They really have some super sentiment sets!
Thank for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
Happy Monday! I actually made it to the post office today – first time since lockdown… I bought a load of stamps and I’m looking forward to getting a bunch of cards out to friends! For today’s card. I’m playing along with the current Color Throwdown challenge (pink, aqua, gold and white).
I started with a die cut tag which I altered by smooshing some Tumbled Glass distress ink. Then I cut an Altenew frame from metallic gold cardstock. Having seen the photos, I’m glad I added the gold ribbon because you can’t really see that the frame is gold, can you? I added a couple of Simply Graphic die cuts and a few pink dots. The sentiment is by Poppystamps.
Thank for stopping by!
