Christmas in July 2023 – Day 7

 

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 7 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2023!

So remember the card I abandoned yesterday? Well of course when I looked at it today, I realised that it was actually fine! So I finished it off and here it is!

The inspiration for this card is the Spellbinders July Small Die of the Month kit and specifically the STUNNING card that Annie B Wills made with it!

Obviously, I don’t have the kit, but I do have a LOT of little festive Spellbinders dies so I pulled out all my sets and got busy!

Christmas in July 2023 – Day 6

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 6 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2023!

Today’s card ended up being quite stressful! I had been working on a completely different card, but I realised mid-evening that I really needed more time to play around with it…. but I still needed a card for Day 6…. argh!

In the end I went for this very quick and simple card using two very old Addison Ornament dies by Memory Box and an embossing folder by Spellbinders.

Big Flowery Butterfly card

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge. When I saw the combo, I felt I had used it very recently so I had a look back at my archives and found this card and this one. I guess 2021 is quite some time ago now! Still, I wanted to do something different this time so I turned to the new-to-me Butterfly Card Creator die set by Spellbinders! I was inspired by this card by Yana Smakula to dig through my other Spellbinders die sets and use flowers and foliage from those sets rather than the ones that came in the Creator die set.

It took me far longer than it should have to arrange all the images but this was such fun to make! The sentiment is by My Favorite Things.

Hello Lovely Singing Birds

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge which has a really interesting combo of orange, aqua, lilac and black.

I decided to use another bargain die set from Spellbinders’ recent Warehouse Clearance – I’ve had my eye on the Build a Winter Birdhouse for some time so I was very excited to snap it up! I added birds from another new-to-me set, Birds of a Feather by My Favorite Things. I loved this card that Laura Dovalo created using this set so I added vellum wings to my birds, just like she did!

Colourful Bold Butterfly card

Happy Monday everyone!

It’s the second of our three holiday Mondays this month and after an amazing Coronation weekend, I’m feeling slightly disorientated!

Anyway, this week, my fabulous order from Spellbinders’ recent Warehouse Clearance showed up. It included the amazing Butterfly Card Creator die set. I have looked at this set so often, but was a bit nervous because the dies are BIG and I tend to lean towards the smaller designs. But as soon as I saw it on sale at a truly bargain price, I snapped it up. I’ve used it today to play along with the Color Throwdown which has a colourful combo of sage green, yellow, pink and brown.

Sending you some happy

Happy Monday everyone!

It’s the first of three public holidays in the UK this month and I took advantage of the extra time at my craft table to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I’m so delighted that one of my go-to craft stores here in the UK has just started stocking Paper Rose Studio products! I snapped up some goodies straightaway! For this card I used the beautiful Poppy Field Circle die set, which I adhered to a piece of Craft Consortium patterned paper.

Following the sketch, I added a Spellbinders bow die cut and a sentiment by Concord & 9th.

Thanks for stopping by!
