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!

Made in May Card 2

Hi there!

For today’s super CAS card, I used a very new embossing folder by Spellbinders called Molded Frame plus a couple of Simply Graphic dies that I’ve had for a year or so.

I love this folder – very simple and absolutely perfect for showcasing a delicate image.

As I’m trying to build up my ‘mailable’ cards this month, I didn’t add a sentiment but will probably add one before I mail it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lest we forget 2024

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 30

Hello everyone!

It’s Day 30 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024! I was hoping that a Christmas in July crafty order would arrive this morning but sadly it didn’t… so I turned to my Plan B which I had started working on ‘just in case’.

The background is embossed with my beloved Pinecone Plethora folder and the main image is an oldie but goodie – the Antique Pine Label die by Memory Box. After colouring it with distress inks, I added a Simply Graphic berry die and a few cones from the Stampin’ Up Christmas Pinecone die set that I first used for this card.

After assembling the card, I felt the lower section needed a splash of that red mirror card so I added a few berries. I was a bit concerned that they aren’t attached to a stem but now looking at my photos, I think they work!

Of course the sentiment is from my go-to Mama Elephant set!

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 7

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 7 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024.

I chose a fun snowman from a Simply Graphic die set for my focal point today…. and then spent AGES searching for a background stamp that I couldn’t find…. maybe I don’t have it after all… but the upside was that I found some supplies that I’d completely forgotten about and they will soon be making an appearance on a card.
