Hi there!
It’s Day 27 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
It’s time for some of those beautiful trees from Papertrey Ink’s Enchanted Forest stamp and die sets! I love these trees – so quirky and fun to use!
For my CAS card, I paired it with a die from the Stamp Market’s Oblong Hexagon dies and some of my patterned paper mountain.
The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Holiday Words set.

Hi there!
It’s Day 26 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Do you ever buy a beautiful die set and then struggle with using it? That’s exactly what happened with this fabulous Poppystamps Nordic Holly Sprig. I couldn’t wait to get it last year but then I had a hard time coming up with card designs.
Today I paired it with Mama Elephant’s Oval Deco Frame and Creative Expressions’ Winter Wreath 3D embossing folder.
The sentiment is from a Mama Elephant set called Mini Holiday Messages.

Hi there!
It’s Day 25 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Today’s card is actually made with a couple of rejects from other cards I started to make earlier this month!
I’ve had this sweet Kaisercraft Christmas Pine die for AGES – I can’t even remember when I bought it, which is extremely unusual for me! Anyway, I actually made this tree on Day 1 but ended up going with another die cut on that day. The background frame is Impression Obsession’s Geometric Cutout 2 die which I have had in my festive wreath collection for as long as I had it! Well yesterday I decided to use it as my focal point but decided it was too big for what I wanted…. then I realised the die cut would work well as a background! So that’s what I did today!
The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps set called Simple Sentiment Strips Holidays.

Happy Festive Friyay!
It’s Day 24 of LucieG’s Christmas in July and my first twofer of the challenge.
I was planning to make a card with a wreath today but all my dies seemed a little larger thank what I had in mind so I decided to create my own. I was originally planning to just use smaller circle dies cuts but then I saw the larger circles that my die had also cut so I decided to make a second card with those. I’m not too sure anyone else can tell they are supposed to be wreaths though… maybe I should have added some bows?
I used sentiments from an older Hero Arts set called Birds & Branch Christmas and a Lawn Fawn set called Little Snowglobe Add on.

Hi there!
It’s Day 23 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
For today’s super-simple CAS card I chose an older die by My Favorite Things called Evergreen which I cut from satin silver card – I love those deep etched lines in the tree and supplemented them with some silver glitter card ornaments!
The background is created with one of my favourite festive dies – Winter Forest Background by Heffy Doodle. I just wish this was a portrait rather than a landscape orientation, but at least I can create panels, like I have here, so that I can still use it for portrait cards.
The sentiment is from an older Paula Pascual set.

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!
