Christmas in July 2023 – Day 2

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 2 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2023! Today I’m playing along with this week’s Color Throwdown challenge.

As soon as I saw the combo. I envisaged some brightly coloured Christmas trees! After looking at every single tree die in my collection, I chose the fabulous Pointed Evergreens die by Simon Says Stamp that I got a few months ago. I cut it from several different inky panels and black cardstock. When I assembled the die cut, I offset the black card slightly to give a shadow effect.

I felt a black background would be more dramatic so I embossed a panel with the Simon Says Stamp Delicate Pine Branches folder and then adhered the trio of trees. I really wanted to add a sentiment that sais ‘have a colourful Christmas’, but O couldn’t find one – I am positive there is one in my collection.. and when I find it, I will be adding it to this card. In the meantime, I used a sentiment by My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Floral Easter Egg

Hello again everyone!

Next up today is my card for the colour challenge at The Paper Players.

I embossed the floral egg from Simon Says Stamps’ Easter Joy set and coloured it using my Twinkling H2O paints.

I added it to an embossed card base and added a Memory Box sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peek a boo chick

Happy Easter everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is ‘add texture’.

Using a Creative Expressions stencil , I applied texture paste across my card base and added a Memory Box egg and just a peek of the cute Simon says Stamp Peeking Chick die.

The sentiment is also from an older Simon Says Stamp set.

Doodle Eggs

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous combo of pink, rust and green.

I decided it would be a fab combo to use for the Simon Says Stamp Doodle Eggs background stamp. I loved this stamp since it came out in 2018 but couldn’t justfy the purchase, so when it popped up in the Steals and Deals section last year, I managed to grab it. I coloured it with my Twinkling H2O paints and added a sentiment by Creative Expressions.

Easter Egg branch

Happy Sunday everyone!

It’s been quite a while since I played along with a CAS Colours and Sketches challenge, but I finally had time this weekend!

I have to confess that I have taken a rather wide interpretation of the sketch with five eggs representing the five vertical lines in the sketch! But it was so fun to make, although it turned out to be a lot more fiddly than it should have been really! I used a Simon Says Stamp branch die which had built-in hangers for hearts an presents but of course, I had to cut the ‘hangers’ off the branch because I wanted to put the hangers for the eggs somewhere else…. and then I positioned the large egg too low ehich meant that my Waffle Flower hanger wouldn’t reach… I got through a lot of glitter paper making a longer one! Argh!

The eggs are by Poppystamps and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Oh Bunny hi

Happy Saturday everyone!

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

I had all sorts of ideas for the sketch when I was looking at the challenge last night and then this morning I woke up and created something completely different!

I used the Hampstead Oval Frame die from Poppystamps to frame a set of cute bunnies from the Simon Says Stamp Oh Bunny stamp and die set.

The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions.
