Hi there!
It’s Day 5 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Today, I used a lovely little tree from a Simply Graphic die set. I took a while deciding how to showcase it because it’s so small and delicate! In the end, I chose a small die from another Simply Graphic set and added a small Altenew sentiment.
The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

Hi there!
During my craftroom tidying project last week, I unearthed MANY ‘bits’ – pretty die cuts and stamped images that were ready to be used, but that had never made it onto card because I moved on, or they weren’t right, or they were just extras that I hadn’t needed at the time.
I realised that these bits have actually been holding me back from using the stamps or dies again, because I felt I should actually be using up the bits… although quite honestly I really wanted to just create new images…
So I made up my mind…. I threw MANY away and set aside the remainder for a week long challenge – LucieG’s Bits Blitz!
I’m going to try to use as many bits as possible over the last week in February and at the end of it the remaining bits will be thrown away and I can start March with a clean slate! Exciting!
I got off to a strong start – four CAS cards this evening using Pinkfresh images plus a few dies by Simply Graphic. And bonus – they are all Royal Mail compliant – no foam or gems so they should survive our post!

Hello everyone!!
I’ve been so wrapped up in getting to grips with my craftroom this past week, I almost forgot that it’s the third Thursday of the month which means it’s time for Jenn Shurkus’s Get Cracking on Christmas!
I went super CAS this month with a new-to-me Simply Graphic tree die and some pearlescent card.
The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.

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!

Hi everyone!!
I wasn’t going to craft today but then inspiration struck late in the evening! This card didn’t take me too long but photographing it took forever – I think the different golds were throwing off the colour and light balance a bit.
Once again I pulled items from my new box – a Sizzix embossing folder, a Spellbinders sentiment die and the newest item of all, a fabulous branch die by Simply Graphic.
This isn’t going to be mailed so I could go wild (sort of) with my lovely gold pearls!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!!
It’s been a super busy day but this card is proof to me that I don’t actually need hours to put together a CAS card!
I’ve coveted the Irregular Square Frames die set by Simply Graphic for a long time and was very happy to pick it up in their recent sale. It only arrived this morning, but I really wanted to use it so decided to put together a very quick, mailable CAS card.
When I created this card using the Pinkfresh Studio Garden Bouquet product suite, I coloured all the smaller images in colours that were much more in my comfort zone! I was really happy to have them to hand this evening!
I added a tiny sentiment from a Clearly Besotted set and some of my new favourite Twinkle Stickles for some sparkle!
Thanks for stopping by!
