Heart Week 2026 – Day 7

 

Hi there

It’s Day 7 of Heart Week 2026! The last day of my week long extravaganza crafting with all the heart things. Well, ok, not all, but a nice little collection!

Today I used another item from this week’s Dies to Die For order! This time the My Favorite Things Heart Burst Hellos die took centre stage. I just love taller hearts but larger dies/sets are quite difficult to come by, so I was very happy to pick this one up on Friday.

I woke up with Grand Plans about how I’d use the heart today but by the time I sat at my craft table, I realised that I wanted the beautiful heart to be the star rather than a supporting character.

So I went very CAS – I blended a few purple inks onto some light purple card and cut out the heart. To complete my card. I added die cuts from Simply Graphic and The Greetery plus a Sugar Pea Designs sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 28

Hi there!

It’s Day 28 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

While my plan this month was to craft for the joy of it rather than entering challenges, when I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week, I had an idea….

I tend to put my own spin on their sketches, which probably isn’t allowed (although the team have always been very kind to me and it has been one of my favourite challenges) and so I had debated not entering this but in the end I decided to give it a go.

As you can see, my own spin this time is to use a snowflake instead of the rectangle shape on the background strip. The dies I used are by Tim Holtz/Sizzix, My Favorite Things, Reverse Confetti and Spellbinders. So many companies on one little CAS card!

The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted set.

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.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 21

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 21 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024!

I felt it was time for another reindeer today so I chose the My Favorite Things Delightful Deer die set and some Craft Consortium paper and got crafty!

The aperture is cut with a Reverse Confetti die and I added some snowflakes from an older Hero Arts background die.

The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn.

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.

Little Cotton Tails

Hello everyone!

Next up today is my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I knew I wanted to use the sweet Oh Bunny set by Simon Says Stamp for my take and I love Lisa Addesa’s clever card using this set so decided to incorporate her inspiration into my take on the sketch.

I used a couple of dies from the My Favorite Things Stitched Domes STAX die set to cut a window in my card base and a separate base for my bunny scene. I blended distress ink over the larger dome and then stamped, cut and coloured the largest bunny image from the stamp set.

I blended various green distress inks on a panel of white card which I then cut using a couple of Lawn Fawn grass dies. I then adhered the grass die cuts to the outside of the card and the bunny scene to the inside of my card. I adhere some white mini pompoms to each bunny.

To complete my card, I added a Memory Box sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!
