Hi there!
I can’t quite believe that Easter is next weekend – it’s snuck up on me a bit! So I hereby declare today the first day of LucieG’s Egg Week 2026!
For my CAS card today, I used an egg from a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder and my favourite Speckled Egg distress ink. I also pulled out a piece of older vellum with glittery flecks, but that’s quite difficult to photograph!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!!
March has been a weird old month and I need to update my blog for the (few) cards I’ve made so far this month. In the meantime, here’s a brand new Christmas card!
Last Thursday was the third Thursday of the month which means it’s time for Jenn Shurkus’s Get Cracking on Christmas!
I decided to make a fun card with a Spellbinders dies set that I picked up in a recent sale. It’s called Yuletime Ride and I bought it for the car as I have plans for that! But today when I was thinking about my Get Cracking card, I realised it would be fun to use the tree from the set.
Super CAS and Royal Mail friendly again this month – The raised panel is a trimmed section from Spellbinder’s Molded Frame embossing folder.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 6 of LucieG’s Bits Blitz! Day 6 already! It’s been a great relied to finally use my bits this past week – it may sound odd but I can feel the burden of past crafty me being lifted! I can start to look forward and I am so looking forward to colouring images and yes, creating a fresh pile of bits!
Today I used some die cut washi images from Pinkfresh Studio’s Whimsical Blooms product suite with a fabulous frame die that I picked up in the recent Sizzix sale. The frame reminded me of a fabulous older Taylored Expressions embossing folder called Weathered, so I pulled it out and used it for my background! The sentiment is from the Enchanting Flora product suite.

Hi there!
It’s Day 3 of Heart Week 2026!
It took me a while to tidy up yesterday’s craftermath which really cut into my crafty time this evening. Fortunately this card didn’t take me too long.
I think this Loop the Loop Hearts die is my oldest Birch Press Design die – I’ve never been able to find it used on any cards though! Anyway, when I saw Spellbinders’ Heart Swag embossing folder, I immediately thought of this die! I was determined to use them both today so I cut two panels using the Hero Arts rounded rectangular dies, embossed the larger one and added several die cuts to the other panel.
I then tried various layouts but I didn’t spend too long second guessing myself today!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s Day 2 of Heart Week 2026!
My original plan for today’s card didn’t quite work out so I pivoted to my trusty True Love Stem die by Poppystamps!
I cut it from some patterned mirror card and adhered it to a folk heart that I’d embossed with the Plaster embossing folder by Simon Hurley for Spellbinders.
To complete my card, I added a wood-mounted stamped sentiment and s few sequins.
Meanwhile, I think I’ll still do my original planned card at some point this week – I just need a longer crafty session and possibly a clearer table to work on it!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 1 of Heart Week 2026!
Today I pulled out The Most Beautiful Embossing Folder Ever (Piped Floral Lace by Altenew) once again. I decided that a single die cut image would provide a great base to showcase those stunning embossed images. I added some ink to a die-cut heart and then ran it through the folder. Super quick and simple! Initially, I was just going to adhere a sentiment by The Greetery, but decided to add some thread to ground the image and add just a little something extra.
Thanks for stopping by!
