Hi there!
It’s Day 14 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
The star of today’s card is the Memory Box Frostyville Wreath from 2012!
I’ve often struggled with card designs for this wreath and I’ve tended to use it as a frame for a festive image. This time, I paired it with a MUCH newer Simon Says Stamp bow and a Pinkfresh Studio sentiment.
The background is a Spellbinders folder.

Hi there!
It’s Day 13 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
Today I’m celebrating Spellbinders bottlebrush trees! I used the second set of trees that were included in the fabulous Spellbinders/Simon Hurley Whimsical Bottlebrush trees set that I used earlier this month plus dies from the Sealed Christmas Tree Squiggle and Santa’s Workshop sets.
The background is my favourite Sizzix tree folder and the sentiment is by Mama Elephant.
Not a traditional colour combo today – I wanted to used Speckled Egg on my background and used a fabulous colour inspiration book that my parents got me a few years ago – I could never have thought of this combo myself!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 10 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
Today’s card is not what I had originally planned at all… but my original idea wasn’t working so rather than spend ALL evening on it, I pivoted and did something completely different!
To be honest, I’ve been searching for a way to include that amazing frame from my Spellbinders/Lisa Horton Nested Tree Frames set for a while and when I decided to use the sweet Poppystamps Rudolph Collage die again, I found a way to use it!
The sentiment and bow are by Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 8 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
Today I pulled out the Spellbinders Layered Noel Foliage stencil set and used it with non-traditional colours (Milled Lavender distress ink and cubes from Pinkfresh Studio’s Urban Raincoat set of grey inks). Spellbinders have a few stencil sets in this series and I deliberately chose one where I felt could easily use a different sentiment instead of the stencilled ‘Noel’.
This card will go to a friend who doesn’t celebrate Christmas but always sends Christmas cards, so I chose a wintery Creative Expressions die cut sentiment. I’m sad that Creative Expressions has closed but fortunately their dies are still around in many online stores!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 5 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
Time for another little tree I think! This time I chose the Lisa Horton/Spellbinders Nested Tree Frame die set. I just love that quirky little tree! I cut the three layers from the tree from patterned mirror card. The white snow layers are cut from white holographic card, but that’s difficult to see from these photos.
The die set contains a number of fabulous frames, but I wanted to do something a bit different so chose the Molded Frame 3D embossing folder as my background.
Can you believe that even with the dimension from the embossing and the layered tree die cut this card sailed through the 5mm slot in my mailing size guide ruler?! Yay!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 3 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!
Another day, another new die set! I picked up the fabulous Spellbinders/Simon Hurley Whimsical Bottlebrush trees in a sale last December. I love the variety offered by this small set but decided to focus on just one of the trees today (pretty sure the other tree in the set will make an appearance at some point this month).
Would you believe that all of the trees are made from just one piece of Craft Consortium 6×6 paper? Their papers are so versatile!
The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts set.
This card is also less than 5mm thick as I’ve used paper rather than card for the trees, but this does mean that the branches are quite delicate so I will probably add more glue before sending it out.
Thanks for stopping by!
