Christmas in July 2022 – Day 18

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 18 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Just Us Girls colour challenge.

I just received the fabulous diamond frame die by Waffle Flower Crafts and couldn’t wait to get crafty with it! In the end, I layered a few die cuts and inlaid the gold sections. The ornaments are from The Greetery’s Curio Attic Ornaments set and the sentiment is by My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 17

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 17 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along with this month’s CAS Christmas card challenge where the theme is ‘Santa’.

Originally I wasn’t going to play along with this challenge because I don’t really have any Santa supplies… Then I remembered my Santa’s Snowy Hills die from Picket Fence Studios so got crafty! I used a section of the die and cut that die cut with a circle die. I added a little Victorian Velvet distress ink to my card base and adhered the card.

I added a few stars and a Mama Elephant sentiment to complete my take.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 16

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 16 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the CAS Colours and  Sketches challenge.

I embossed white card using a Crafter’s Companion folder and adhered it to my card base. I added a couple of snowflakes plus a sentiment My Favorite Things to complete my card.

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 15

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 15 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge. When I first saw the combo of aqua, yellow, purple and coral, I felt quite stumped as I just couldn’t think of a way of using them in a festive card.

Then, this morning inspiration struck (phew!). I die cut the twinkling lights image from a Studio Light set from gold card, snipped off the individual lights and replaced them with lights in the challenge colours.

To complete my card, I added a Memory Box sentiment.

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 14

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 14 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge .

As soon as I saw this sketch, I thought of my patterned paper mountain and knew I’d be dipping into it for all the panels and I ended up using my Bo Bunny 6×6 paper pads. The Snowman is an old wood mounted stamp by Funstamps – I love this snowman, he stamps beautifully and is so easy to fussy cut.

To complete my card I used a sentiment from a My Favorite Things set.

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 13

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 13 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in The Paper Players colour challenge.

I’ve noticed that I often use blue/aqua on my festive card backgrounds and I was determined that I wouldn’t do that this time! Instead, I stencilled some Nuvo Moonstone glitter paste onto my card base. While that was drying, I stamped the fabulous Wispy Trees by The Stamp Market using a couple of distress oxide inks and cut them using the coordinating dies.

After arranging a little forest, I added a sentiment by Mama Elephant and applied a layer of a Wink of Stella to the bottom section of my card, although that doesn’t show up at all in my photos!!

Thanks for stopping by!
