Christmas in July 2025 – Day 29

Hi there!

It’s Day 29 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025 and I have another Twofer today!

Memory Box’s Winterland Tree die from 2011 take centre stage today. This is a rare die for me because it has a background die – which I just discovered was released two years later…. craft moved slower back then with far fewer releases each year. I wish I had background dies for other delicate Memory Box trees!

I created an ombre ink blended panel and cut the tree from that and a piece of glitter card. I adhered the tree outlines to two background die cuts and then inlaid the die cut pieces.

I paired the ombre tree with Memory Box’s Pinpoint Burst plate and a fabulous Hero Arts sentiment wood-mounted stamp.

I added the glitter version of the tree to an older Spellbinders folder and adhered a few pearls and a glittery sentiment to complete the card.

So, which version do you prefer?

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 27

Hi there!

It’s Day 27 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Back to the older Memory Box tree dies today! This one is called Sparkling Tile Tree and is from 2014.

I’ve always struggled with this die because it isn’t a traditional standalone die and cuts into the background. I’m sure there’s a special word for that type of die but I can’t think of it right now…. Anyway, today I created an ombre background with various inks and then adhered it behind each of the die cut trees.

I added some glitter card to one card and gems to the other.

The sentiments are by My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 25

Happy Festive Friday!

It’s Day 25 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Today I’m using one of my favourite Memory Box dies – the beautiful and delicate Flowering Christmas Tree! I was so shocked that I haven’t used this since 2022! I was excited to colour the tree with my small blending brushes which I didn’t have three years ago – it was much easier than the detail blending foam I used in the past. Plus the sticky mat helped the process – crafting is always evolving isn’t it? Even for those of use who aren’t into glimmer or press plates!

I often find it difficult to come up with new layouts for these trees – I don’t want a busy layout to detract from the delicate die cut but I want to add something. Today it was a simple strip of coloured card and then I added a Waffle Flower vase and old Paula Pascual sentiment plus lots of little gems!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 24

Hi there!

It’s Day 24 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

I’m combining old and new again today! I picked up Pinkfresh Studio’s pretty Folk Snowflake product suite late last year. I’m not sure when it was released. Maybe 2023? I particularly loved the three sentiments that came with the snowflake image – but typically I haven’t used them today! The stamped sentiment is from a rather older Hero Arts set.

For the background, I used Memory Box’s Silent Snowflake Frame die from 2017 and added a few flakes from2015’s Shimmering Snowflakes set.

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 23

Hi there!

It’s Day 23 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

I still love my older Memory Box tree dies from 10+ years ago and decided that I needed to dedicate some time them again this month.

First up is the stunning Elyse Christmas tree. Isn’t it beautiful? I coloured some card with Speckled Egg distress ink for the tree – the second photo is more true to colour I think!

I mounted it to a couple of Spellbinders dies – The second layer was originally silver pearlescent card but I decided it was too heavy for the tree so switched to two white layers instead.

The sentiment is by Mama Elelphant.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 19

Hi there

It’s Day 19 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025 and I have a another twofer for you today.

I love the large shaped card die sets that I have by Bibi Cameron/Spellbinders and have been hoping for a Christmas tree set at some point. Today, I decided that I would create my own shaped tree card with an older Concord & 9th tree die that I picked up in a sale recently.

I used a couple of shades of green ink to create backgrounds that I then die cut. I partially cut a couple of card bases to create a shaped card base and adhered the die cut trees on top, hiding the section of the folded card that was not die cut.

For the ornament tree, I used dies by Concorde & 9th and Memory Box. The glittery foliage card uses dies by Crealies, Spellbinders and Simply Graphic.
