Christmas in July 2026 – Day 30

Hi there!

It’s Day 30 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

Today I wanted to create a festive version of this card that I created for Heart Week 2025 and this card for Egg Week 2025.

I wasn’t convinced that the design would work well with snowflakes which are far more delicate than the hearts and eggs that I previously used. Then I  struck on the idea of adhering the snowflakes to circles which would schowcard each unique image and allow for layering! So I got cutting with my circle dies and punches and snowflake dies from Simon Says Stamp, Lawn Fawn and Heffy Doodle.

The sentiment is from a Mama Elephant set called Mini Holiday Messages.

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 23

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.

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 7

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.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 27

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?

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 18

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.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 17

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!

The sentiment is by The Ton.
