Sakura Celebration Day 4

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along with this fortnight’s  Color Throwdown challenge. Another pretty combo of blue, green and lime green this time.

I used a bit of artistic licence with today’s sakura card – not a drop of pink on this interpretation!

After trying MANY ideas with coloured card and patterned paper, I ended up with this super simple take by painting strips of colour and adding The Stamp Market’s Ready to Bloom die. The centres are from a small Spellbinders die set that I bought solely because I liked the little flower centres!

The sentiment is by Creative Expressions.

Christmas in July 2024 – Day 31

Hello everyone!

I cannot believe it’s Day 31 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2024! Where did the month go? As usual, I still have ideas (and supplies) that I haven’t used!

Of course, I couldn’t resist adding to my supplies during a Christmas in July sale! And my order actually arrived this morning so I have been able to create with it before July is out! Yay!

I chose the brand new-to-me Flowering Christmas Tree Burst 3D embossing folder by Spellbinders. I just LOVE this design, but it is on the large side so like the card I created for Day 25,  this is a larger card than I would normally send!

I went for bolder colours than my usual palette and darkened both of my pieces of coloured card with distress inks.

The tree die is by The Stamp Market and I added a few die cut flowers to reflect the embossed trees. The sentiment is an old Hero Arts wood-mounted stamp.

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?

Springtime Pail

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. What a fabulous sketch to play with this week!

I bought the Taylored Expressions Antique Pails die set over Easter and I thought the large pail would work perfectly with the sketch. I paired it with the Honeysuckle Plant by paper Rose Studio and the Stamp Market’s Ready to Bloom floral die.

The sentiment is by Memory Box.

Colourful happy thoughts

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge .

It’s been almost a year since I played with the Stamp Market’s Add Some Greenery dies so today I chose the smaller one, some coloured paper and got cutting!

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp set and a few gems.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July 2022 – Day 13

Hello everyone!

Welcome to Day 13 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2022! Today I’m playing along in The Paper Players colour challenge.

I’ve noticed that I often use blue/aqua on my festive card backgrounds and I was determined that I wouldn’t do that this time! Instead, I stencilled some Nuvo Moonstone glitter paste onto my card base. While that was drying, I stamped the fabulous Wispy Trees by The Stamp Market using a couple of distress oxide inks and cut them using the coordinating dies.

After arranging a little forest, I added a sentiment by Mama Elephant and applied a layer of a Wink of Stella to the bottom section of my card, although that doesn’t show up at all in my photos!!

Thanks for stopping by!
