30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 20

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 202’s challenge is ‘ugly sweater’.

Well, it may be difficult to believe but I don’t have any ugly sweaters in my crafty collection! So this was a real struggle to me! So I interpreted the challenge as ‘Christmas jumper’ instead! I pulled out the very old Hero Arts/Sizzix stamp/die combo that I finally got on ebay last year I think. I love the reindeers in their little Christmas jumpers – plus one of them looks like he’s jumping so I’ve got my own little play on words.

I don’t usually do scenes that cover a whole card but I bought this fabulous Sizzix stencil set a few weeks ago – I love how quickly stencilled scenes come together.

The sentiment is by from a very old Hero Arts wood-mounted stamp set. I stamped it from Cloud 9 Silver ink – unfortunately it dried with a rather mottled effect but I felt it went well with the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 5

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

Today’s challenge is a sketch with lots of layers. I ‘cheated’ a bit and used ink blending instead of one layer!

I used an older Hero Arts cling stamp and my favourite Sizzix tree embossing folder for my take.

The sentiment is by The Ton Stamps.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 1

Hi everyone!

I can’t believe it’s November already, can you? It’s always a busy month for me but when I stumbled on Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge, I decided to jump right in! All my own cards are done thanks to Christmas in July so this one is for the joy of creating.

The first challenge is ‘O Christmas Tree’ well of course I had to use the Stampin’ Up Decorative Trees for this one didn’t I? The sentiment in the set is absolutely perfect for today’s theme! The glitter circle was cut with a Hero Arts stars background.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 22

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 22 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and it’s snowman time!

I love these cute snowmen from the Trinity Stamps Snowman Builder set – they can be a little fiddly to put together, but they are so worth it!

Time was short again this evening so I just did some simple ink blending to ground the images and added a Mama Elephant sentiment.

The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn.
