Christmas in July 2026 – Day 23

Hi there!

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

For today’s super-simple CAS card I chose an older die by My Favorite Things called Evergreen which I cut from satin silver card – I love those deep etched lines in the tree and supplemented them with some silver glitter card ornaments!

The background is created with one of my favourite festive dies – Winter Forest Background by Heffy Doodle. I just wish this was a portrait rather than a landscape orientation, but at least I can create panels, like I have here, so that I can still use it for portrait cards.

The sentiment is from an older Paula Pascual set.

Christmas in July 2026 – Day 20

Hi there!

It’s Day 20 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!

Welcome back to one of the cutest little Rudolphs in my collection – this chap is from the Ho Ho Deer Circle by Simon Says Stamp. I’ve used it a lot since I bought it back in 2019!

Today I paired him with a circle sentiment frame from My Favorite Things and also added an embossed background created with an older Crafters Companion folder.

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.

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.
