Christmas in July 2022 – Day 11

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 11 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Just Add Ink sketch challenge.

I embossed a white panel using a 3D holly embossing folder by Creative Expressions before adhering it to my card base. I then cut a section of brown paper from my patterned paper mountain but decided that it needed a little something more so I stamped a My Favorite Things background stamp using versamark ink – I’m pleased with how this turned out, a subtle bit of interest.

I coloured the Memory Box Holly Branch die cut with distress ink before adding a My Favorite Things sentiment to complete my card.

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 9

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 9 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge .

I love this sketch! So many possibilities! In the end, I decided it was time to unleash the pinecones! I paired the Forest Pine Branch die with my absolute favourite pinecone stamp by Hero Arts! This little stamp went missing almost a year ago and I couldn’t find it anywhere! It was made worse by the fact that the set was retired and couldn’t be found here in the UK. In the end, my brother got hold of the set for me in the US. And would you believe that the little pinecone eventually turned up in my adhesives a few weeks ago! I was so happy – even though I have a duplicate, I am so relieved that I didn’t throw it away accidentally!

For the background, I blended some Speckled Egg distress oxide ink and die cut a section using a die from My Favorite Things. I then embossed it using the Pinecone Plethora embossing folder by Gemini. My original folder broke in an unfortunate embossing accident last Christmas, but fortunately a lovely IG friend alerted me to it on Ebay and I managed to snag it! Yay!

To complete my card I used a sentiment by Mama Elephant.

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 5

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 5 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Just Us Girls challenge where the theme is mammals. Ha! Perfect excuse for a reindeer card!

It’s difficult to see in the smaller photos, but I started with a Uniko stencil and some moonstone glitter paste to add a bit of texture to my card base and added a Memory Box frame cut from glitter card. I then used an older die set (Delightful Deer) from My Favorite Things which I cut from kraft card and sponged with some distress ink.

Finally I added sentiment from an older My Favorite Things stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just Us Girls Guest Designer Week 3

Happy Saturday!

I have the honour of being June Guest Designer for the Just Us Girls challenge!

Time for a colour challenge this week – using the three primary colours plus one other. I knew I wanted to use a white card base but wasn’t sure if that would have to be the fourth colour… I went back over past colour challenges and saw that neutrals were allowed in addition to challenge colours so I then felt comfortable choosing another colour – green!

I kept my card super simple, using  just one die set (Memory Box’s Seed Stems), distress inks and lots of stickles! I added a Memory Box sentiment and will send this card to an old friend who has had a rather torrid 2022 so far.

Head over to the Just Us Girls challenge to see the amazing inspiration from the talented design team – we hope you can play along this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterflies Galore!

Hello there!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge which has a fun retro palette of aqua, red, yellow and black.

After prevaricating for far too long, I went for a simple take on the challenge colours using some of my patterned paper mountain and all the butterflies from the new Intricate Mini Butterflies set by Memory Box. The sentiment is also by Memory Box.

ETA unfortunately I missed the challenge deadline this week – only by a few minutes!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thoughts Butterflies

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

When I saw the sketch, I decided that butterflies would work so well… but you would not believe how many butterfly dies and stamps I looked at before I settled on using a die from the Memory Box Pinpoint Butterflies set! I added a sentiment from an older Hero Arts set and lots of little sequins!

Thanks for stopping by!
