Hello everyone and welcome to Day 5 of Christmas in July 2021!
Today I’m playing along with the Double challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. I have to say it was a challenge to incorporate the colour palette into a Christmas card, but I actually enjoyed making this non-traditional Christmas card with the beautiful Twinkling Ornament layering die set.
I added a die cut bow from a Sizzix set and a sentiment by Mama Elephant.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday everyone!
Welcome to Day 4 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at the Global Design Project.
I used my brand new Sizzix 3D Christmas Tree embossing folder – I love how all those fabulous trees look on that metallic cardstock – but it was quite difficult to photograph! I added an older Memory Box die and a sentiment by My Favorite Things to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone and welcome to Day 3 of Christmas in July 2021!
Today I’m playing along with the current challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.
As I wanted to reduce the layers on my card, I started off by embossing a square on my card base using a die. I lightly blended some distress ink to reinforce the shape, but didn’t press too heavily as I didn’t want to it detract from my focal point! I then coloured a couple of Simply Graphic stem dies together with a Poppystamps die with distress inks and adhered them to my card base. To complete my CAS card, I added a sentiment by The Ton Stamps.

Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Christmas in July 2021!
Today I’m playing along with the current sketch challenge over at The Paper Players . For this very CAS take, I used the fabulous Poppystamps Whittle Reindeer die with a Memory Box sentiment and a Creative Expressions embossing folder.

Hello everyone!
It’s that time of year again! LucieG’s Christmas in July! Woohoo! For the past couple of years, I’ve dedicated July to Christmas cardmaking and reaped the benefits in November/December when life always seems to get super busy! I LOVE having a good supply of cards to send to all my friends rather than stress about making them before the posting deadline. Plus I get a chance to use the festive supplies I bought in the after-Christmas sales!
So, for Christmas in July Day 1, I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown challenge which has a beautiful combo (purple, blue and green). It made me smile when I saw the combo because I remember using a very similar combo during LucieG’s Christmas in July 2020! Anyway, to start with, I masked a rectangle and blended some blue distress ink on my card base. Next, I pulled out Penny Black’s ornament branch (51-481) which I coloured with distress inks. Finally I added a sentiment from the Penny Black Beauty of The Season stamp set (30-254) and a few sequins to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I’m getting pretty excited because it’ll soon be Christmas in July and I am so ready to make some festive cards! First of all this week though, I have my entry for the sketch challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
I used the fabulous Floral Circle dies by Prinkfresh Studio together with a stamped Uniko sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!
