Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The challenge for Day 18 is another sketch.
I bought this large Simon Says Stamp bauble die back at my first Create in 2015. It was a low key event compared to how it is nowadays but I absolutely LOVED it!
Anyway, I used it with some more Tonic Ombre glitter card and pulled out my old Darice and Sizzix 2D embossing folders.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
Today’s challenge is a sketch with lots of layers. I ‘cheated’ a bit and used ink blending instead of one layer!
I used an older Hero Arts cling stamp and my favourite Sizzix tree embossing folder for my take.
The sentiment is by The Ton Stamps.

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 27 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today I have a fourfer to share. Fourfer… is that even a word?! Ah well you know what I mean!
The idea for the cards popped into my head last night when I was looking for base card for my pinecone sprig. I tried some Tonic Studio speciality paper – it wasn’t right but I vowed to use it today… well I certainly did that! The tree images are from a set by Marianne Designs that I got a few years ago. I think I can safely say that I really don’t need that coverplate/tree die set that I was thinking about at the start of the month!
For my first card, I cut some black card with the fabulous Heffydoodle background die and added a generous amount of ink splatters! After I had arranged all my trees, I used Scattered Straw distress stickles to ground my little forest.
For my second card I used an Alex Syberia background die. I toyed with adding a sentiment but decided to keep it very CAS!
For my third card, I embossed the background with a favourite Sizzix folder – I just love those little deep embossed trees.
And last, but not least is my fourth card – I used an older My Favorite Things sentiment die for this one- and some more gold splatters!
So which one do you prefer?
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
It’s Merry Monday and Day 15 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024!
Today’s card is made almost exclusively with Tim Holtz products! I made some shimmery panels with distress mica stains and cut them with the fabulous Tim Holtz/Sizzix Ornamental Birds dies – another festive treasure that I unearthed while I was hunting for that stamp that I don’t think I own!
I adhered them onto a background embossed with the fabulous Sparkle embossing folder – the dimension is amazing! This is my favourite folder from the collection! The sentiment is also from an older Tim/Sizzix set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
It’s Festive Friday and Day 12 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024!
While I was hunting for a stamp that I don’t think I own last weekend, I unearthed a few festive treasures that I HAVE to use! First up is this Hero Arts/Sizzix Trees background stamp/embossing folder set. The packaging says 2011 and I can’t remember when I last used it… Quite honestly I had forgotten all about it!
I stamped it onto some pale blue card and waited for the ink to dry before dry embossing it. I knew I wanted to use this bold merry stamp as well, but it took FOREVER (and many, many , many glittery die cuts) until I embellished it with silver thread. Sometimes the simplest card takes the longest, eh!
Thanks for stopping by!
