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.

I am so pleased that both these cards stand nicely on the little trunks!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 16

Hi there!

It’s Day 16 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

I can’t believe we made the halfway point and I haven’t created one pinecone card yet! So I had to change that today. I used a branch die by Memory Box together with Stampin’ Up pine cones.

The background embossing folder is by Sizzix/49 and Market and is called ‘Pines’ – it’s so beautiful with different wintery foliage, it’s a shame I’ve hidden so much of it really!

The sentiment is from a Lawn Fawn set.

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 14

Hi there!

It’s Day 14 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

The star of today’s card is the Memory Box Frostyville Wreath from 2012!

I’ve often struggled with card designs for this wreath and I’ve tended to use it as a frame for a festive image. This time, I paired it with a MUCH newer Simon Says Stamp bow and a Pinkfresh Studio sentiment.

The background is a Spellbinders folder.

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 11

Happy Festive Friday!

It’s Day 11 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Today I used the Simon Says Stamp Sprinkle Snowglobe embossing folder and some Pinkfresh Waterfall ink to create a snowglobe background.

The tree image is an older Memory Box die called Tall Pine and it’s from 2017 but I think I bought it far more recently than that.

I wasn’t sure where to put the sentiment so in the end I decided it didn’t need one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 4

Happy Festive Friday!

It’s Day 4 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025 and I have a twofer for you today.

I used the Memory Box Starburst Snowflake Discs die set that cuts a trio of snowflake images to cut five sheets of mirror card. I was originally planning a regular A6 card but preferred how I arranged the discs on a square panel so switched to a square card. After assembling my card, I decided to see whether I could use the negative pieces (ie the snowflakes) on a second card. I resisted the temptation to add more die cuts to that creation as I like all that white space.

I didn’t add a sentiment to either of these cards because I didn’t want to hide any of the pretty die cuts. I may add a small stamped sentiment to the second card – I think there’s a suitable spot above the larger black snowflake.

These cards are also less than 5mm thick!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again!

I haven’t played along with the Color Throwdown challenge for a few weeks. I think I was better when it was a weekly challenge! Anyway, I just saw that Broni was stepping down from the team and I knew I had to play along for her last challenge. I’ve loved seeing Broni’s inspiration for each challenge – she came up with some amazing takes on the combos and has been so kind and supportive about my cards over the years. I remember when she asked me to be a guest designer for a month – I was so honoured! The Color Throwdown is a challenge that I have always wanted to provide inspiration for! So thank you Broni for all your kindness over this years – your local community and church are lucky to have you! I hope you still continue to make and share your cards from time to time!

Onto my card. The combo is quite retro – aqua, grey and red so I was tempted to create a retro design… In the end, I opted for a classic floral card using a beautiful Memory Box die that I’ve had for a long while.

The sentiment is by Pinkfresh Studio.

Thanks for stopping by!
