Christmas in July 2024 – Day 29

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 29 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today I have another twofer to share.

Today the small but mighty Winter’s Wispy Trees by The Stamp Market take centre stage, ably supported by embossing folders!

For my first card, I chose a trio of trees and adhered them onto a panel embossed with a Simon Says Stamp folder. The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.

For my second card, I chose a different trio of trees and was planning to adhere them directly to an embossed panel again. However, this Spellbinders folder produces some wonderfully deep embossing and the images felt a little heavy for the wispy trees. So I added a simple die cut, some chunky glitter and a Clearly Besotted sentiment.

So which one do you prefer?

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 25

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 25 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Today I chose the fabulous Vintage Ornaments 3D embossing folder by Spellbinders which I got just before Christmas last year. I made the mistake of embossing half a sheet of card with it – and then I could barely brim myself to trim the embossing – so this is a larger card than I would normally send.

I dusted the embossing with a little white ink and added a brand new Creative Expressions die which I cut from glitter card and Craft Consortium paper.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 19

Happy Festive Friday everyone!

Welcome to Day 19 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024!

The Spellbinders July Club 3D embossing folder is called Pine Cones & Berries so of course I had to have it! It arrived this morning and it is absolutely STUNNING – the texture is amazing, and I just had to make a card with it straightaway!

I paired it with a Tim Holtz/Sizzix pine die and some cones from the Stampin’ Up Christmas Pinecone die set. Again I uses layers of white glitter card for snow, but you can’t see the glitter very well in my photos sadly!

The sentiment is also by Sizzix.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 18

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 18 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today the beautiful Memory Box Gilded Sleigh takes centre stage!!

I coloured it with red distress inks and added gold card accents. I really should have used one of my MANY other trees, but the multi-layered Spellbinders’ Sealed Christmas Tree Squiggle die that I first used a few days ago just worked so well! I also added a couple of small gifts cut with Honey Bee Stamps dies.

I adhered my sleigh to a background cut with the Heffy Doodle Winter Forest Background die. Again, I probably should have used one of my many other background dies or folders, but I just love this die so much!

The gold-embossed sentiment is from the Puffy Holiday Greetings set by Mama Elephant.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 16

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 16 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today I have another twofer to share.

Today’s focal point is the Wide Pine Needle Shoots die set by Poppystamps – I’ve already used it once this month, but I had a few more ideas for it!  I cut it from dark green card and glitter card and got busy!

For my first card, I cut some green card with an Alex Syberia background die. I adhered my tree to a tag cut from an Altenew die and added a silver bow and die cut star before affixing it to my card base.

For my second card, I embossed the background with a Spellbinders folder and adhered my tree with another little die cut star. The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts wood-mounted set.

So which one do you prefer?

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 8

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 8 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024 and today I have a twofer to share.

I’ve been trying to talk myself out of buying a tree die set that I’ve liked since it was released last year. It quickly went out of the stock here in the UK and I forgot about it… but of course I have remembered it again and it’s in stock! BUT…. I have SO MANY tree dies and stamps that I just don’t feel that I can justify another set! In fact I have spent a fair chunk of my weekend crafty time proving to myself just how many sets I currently have by using them! So today is the turn of Spellbinders’ Tree Squiggle Etched die!

The die set has two trees that you layer to create a tree. For my first card I stamped a Woodware background stamp on my card base and adhered a silver die cut tree on top. I then added a sentiment by The Ton and a few glittery stars.

For my second card, I cut both dies twice – from glitter and mirror card and layered them all together. I really like the fullness of this second tree! I adhered it on to some old Bo Bunny patterned paper and added a sentiment from my go-to Mama Elephant set.

So which one do you prefer?

Thanks for stopping by!
