Simply Graphic

Festive tree

 

Happy Festive Friyay!

Today I’m playing along with the current colour challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!

When I saw that this week’s colour palette was green, white and gold I knew I would have to make a card with a tree!

I decided to use the larger tree from the Concord & 9th Cloche die set that I bought before last Christmas and oddly used for the February Colour Challenge! I cut it from Craft Consortium paper and then die cut elements from glitter and mirror card. for the card base, I used a Simply Graphic die and a few hand punches.

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from a Hero Arts set from 2005!

Heart Week – Day 2

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 2 of Heart Week!

My heart card today is my entry for the colour challenge at Just us Girls.

My focal point today is a bouquet of Simply Graphic dies, partly coloured using distress oxide ink. I also added an ink blended heart to the top of a Simply Graphic stem to fill out the centre of my bouquet.

I used the largest die from the Poppystamps Pinpoint Hearts die set for the background and a stamped sentiment from a Mama Elephant set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2023 – Day 24

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 24 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2023! Today I’m playing along with this week’s Just Us Girls CAS challenge.

The challenge theme is ‘three of something’ and so it seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to use my Simply Graphic die set called Gang des peres de noel! I had such fun putting these together!

I cut the windows with an older My Favorite Things die and adhered it to my card base before adding the die cuts. The sentiment is by Creative Expressions.

A challenging combo

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown ! Now I have to confess that the palette was very challenging to me. I’m not sure why… maybe the graphic… maybe just the combo… I really struggled with the aqua as I usually choose a lighter shade when using that colour… but in the end, I stopped overthinking it and just used Peacock Feathers which looked close to the colour in the graphic!

I didn’t like the card I made yesterday so I redid something more ‘me’ after work this evening – I’m glad the challenge doesn’t close until 11pm UK time! I used a vase stamp by Stampin’ Up, stems from Simply Graphic and a frame by Reverse Confetti. The sentiment is by My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 23

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 23 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in the Just Add Ink sketch challenge.

I picked up a few 3D embossing folders from Simon Says Stamp a few weeks ago and they arrived yesterday – I couldn’t wait to play with them! The thing is, they are just so beautiful, I can never bring myself to cover up the embossing! So today’s card is pretty simple – the Christmas Floral embossing folder is the star and die cuts by Poppystamps, Savvy Stamps and Simply Graphic make up the supporting cast!

Thanks for stopping by!
