Hi there!
It’s Day 16 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Time for another quick CAS card courtesy of a sweet older die by Create a Smile stamps and a remnant of Bo Bunny patterned paper.
The sentiment is part of a sentiment from a Spellbinders set.

Hi there!
It’s Day 15 of LucieG’s Christmas in July and today I’m playing with a new-to-me die from the ‘olden days’!
I have several intricate Christmas tree dies by Memory Box – they’re all over 10 years old and I still cherish them. Last year, I saw another tree online – the Kensington Christmas Tree from 2014. I searched EVERYWHERE for it and eventually found it in a closing down sale! I was so happy to get my hands on it… I can’t believe how long its taken me to use it.
Fun Fact – this tree was actually cut to be a supporting layer to a colourful version that I was working on… but then I loved the simplicity of the white and how nicely the etched lines appeared on the petals and leaves so I pivoted. This may just be my favourite card of this year’s Christmas in July!
The background panel is cut with a die from Spellbinders’ Modern Oval set and the sentiment is from a fabulous versatile sentiment set by Paula Pascual.

Hi there!
It’s Day 14 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
I finally had more time to craft today and as a result I enjoyed the process again – I wasn’t rushing to just get my card – any card – made!
I picked up the Lisa Horton/Spellbinders Festive Ornaments die set in a sale earlier this year. I was particularly drawn to the Christmas pudding design because I don’t actually have any pudding dies – just a couple of older pudding stamps. I used some Craft Consortium paper to create the puddings themselves and then some of my fabulous Tonic Studios speciality paper for the custard!
I adhered the puddings to the Waffle Flower Radiating Diamond Frame and added the perfect sentiment that I found in an older Hero Arts set called Holiday Messages and Frames.

Hi there!
It’s Day 13 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Once again I didn’t have much time to craft so I pulled out the easy-to-use Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Tree die set and some of my coloured paper mountain and got cutting. Sadly there was a casualty today – my Tim Holtz/Sizzix sidekick! The handle broke off! I’m going to see if there’s a way of fixing it tomorrow.
Anyway, after assembling my tree, I adhered it to a background panel that I’d embossed with another new-to-me folder – Spellbinders’ Christmas Cameos 3D folder.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Festive Friyay!
It’s Day 10 of LucieG’s Christmas in July but I didn’t have much crafty time this evening so I stepped outside my CAS comfort zone and created a quick card with a large snowman using the Happy Snowman die set by Trinity Stamps!
I used some of my patterned paper mountain and the Simon Hurley/Spellbinders Sparkling Anow 3D embossing folder for the background.
The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Big Holiday Words set.

Hi there!
It’s Day 7 of LucieG’s Christmas in July!
Well today I certainly didn’t create a Royal Mail-able card! I started with high hopes when I pulled out the Stamp Market’s Layered Christmas Trees die set. I don’t think I’ve used the large die before – I created this card with the smaller dies.
I was originally going to create a white glittery tree but before I knew it, I was layering green die cuts on top! I die cut an elongated oval from the card base and adhered some pink paper that I’d embossed with Spellbinders’ Dimpled embossing folder. Somehow the card kept getting thicker! I added some foam to the back of my tree and then I thought ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’ and threw on a load of bling!
The sentiment is from a Lawn Fawn set called Little Snow Globe Add-on.
Thanks for stopping by!
