Hi there!
It’s Day 7 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
I chose an older set for today’s tree card – Neat & Tangled Scandinavian Prints Christmas. It’s difficult to believe that this set is from 2016! I have the stamp set too but I wanted to focus on the dies today and cut them from various speciality card. The base is a fabulous Heffy Doodle background die, cut with a snowglobe shaped die.

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 27 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today I have a fourfer to share. Fourfer… is that even a word?! Ah well you know what I mean!
The idea for the cards popped into my head last night when I was looking for base card for my pinecone sprig. I tried some Tonic Studio speciality paper – it wasn’t right but I vowed to use it today… well I certainly did that! The tree images are from a set by Marianne Designs that I got a few years ago. I think I can safely say that I really don’t need that coverplate/tree die set that I was thinking about at the start of the month!
For my first card, I cut some black card with the fabulous Heffydoodle background die and added a generous amount of ink splatters! After I had arranged all my trees, I used Scattered Straw distress stickles to ground my little forest.
For my second card I used an Alex Syberia background die. I toyed with adding a sentiment but decided to keep it very CAS!
For my third card, I embossed the background with a favourite Sizzix folder – I just love those little deep embossed trees.
And last, but not least is my fourth card – I used an older My Favorite Things sentiment die for this one- and some more gold splatters!
So which one do you prefer?

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 18 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today the beautiful Memory Box Gilded Sleigh takes centre stage!!
I coloured it with red distress inks and added gold card accents. I really should have used one of my MANY other trees, but the multi-layered Spellbinders’ Sealed Christmas Tree Squiggle die that I first used a few days ago just worked so well! I also added a couple of small gifts cut with Honey Bee Stamps dies.
I adhered my sleigh to a background cut with the Heffy Doodle Winter Forest Background die. Again, I probably should have used one of my many other background dies or folders, but I just love this die so much!
The gold-embossed sentiment is from the Puffy Holiday Greetings set by Mama Elephant.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 17 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024.
Today’s card started very simply with just one set of snowflake dies but things escalated quickly!
I chose some paper from a Craft Consortium pad and covered it with Distress sparkle texture paste.
After cutting a few snowflakes from the one set, I pulled out a lot of other die sets and ended up using dies by My Favorite Things, Cas-ual Fridays, Heffydoodle, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn… now I have to try and return all the snowflakes to the rightful sets… wish me luck!

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 11 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and more trees today!
I LOVE the Papertrey Ink Enchanted Forest stamps and dies that I picked up a few years ago, but I was shocked to see that I haven’t used them since this card in 2021. Well, that has changed and I’ve now got lots of trees in different colours all ready to go!
Today I paired the trees with the brand-new Winter Forest Background die that I picked up from the Heffy Doodle closing down sale.

Hello everyone!
Today I finally played with a stencil set that I’ve had since August – the amazing Layered Chicks set by Pretty Pink Posh. Oddly just after I bought it an amazing Easter card using that very set popped up in my Instagram feed (in August!!). Fast forward six months and can I find it again? Nope…. well yes I did but only after a LONG search! Here is Barbara’s amazing card! I’m so perplexed that it didn’t show up in my Google search or in any of the manufacturer hashtags! Most odd!
For my take I used lots of different distress inks plus a Heffy Doodle sentiment die; the ‘Happy’ is from a Simon Says Stamp stamp set.
I’m entering this into the stencil week challenge at Just us Girls.
