Christmas in July 2025 – Day 31

Hi there!

It’s difficult to believe but today is Day 31 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025! 31 days of cardmaking! I did it (again)! Yay!

Today I pulled out the older Simon Says Stamp Corbel Tree die and some purple ink and got cutting and blending. It didn’t actually take me too long to blend each of the petals, but rather than colour the little dots, I used dots cut from glitter card.

I adhered the tree to a background that I had embossed with Simon’s Sprinkle Snowglobe folder. Then came the nerve wracking part – stamping the sentiment! I deliberately chose a small one so that I didn’t need to curve it to align with the snowglobe base, which I always find difficult.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2025 – Day 22

Hi there!

It’s Day 22 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Today I’ve paired a frame from the older Simon Says Stamp Holiday Frames die set with some fabulous vintage baubles from The Greetery’s Curio Attic Ornaments die set. The baubles arecut from Craft Consortium paper but you would not believe how often I second guessed myself on the pearlescent card I used for the other elements of each bauble!!! I got there in the end though!

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 12

 

Hi there!

It’s Day 12 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Well it’s been one of the hottest days of the year and somehow I ended up spending the whole day in my kitchen doing my batch cooking! I didn’t get too hot fortunately but it did leave me with very little time for today’s card.

I pulled out the old Sim0n Says Stamp Mod Ornament from 2015 and paired with with a much newer Tim Holtz/Sizzix embossing folder for a very quick CAS card.

The sentiment is from a Mama Elephant set.

Thanks for stopping by!

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 10

Hi there!

It’s Day 10 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Today’s card is not what I had originally planned at all… but my original idea wasn’t working so rather than spend ALL evening on it, I pivoted and did something completely different!

To be honest, I’ve been searching for a way to include that amazing frame from my Spellbinders/Lisa Horton Nested Tree Frames set for a while and when I decided to use the sweet Poppystamps Rudolph Collage die again, I found a way to use it!

The sentiment and bow are by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!
