Christmas in July 2025 – Day 25

Happy Festive Friday!

It’s Day 25 of LucieG’s Christmas in July 2025!

Today I’m using one of my favourite Memory Box dies – the beautiful and delicate Flowering Christmas Tree! I was so shocked that I haven’t used this since 2022! I was excited to colour the tree with my small blending brushes which I didn’t have three years ago – it was much easier than the detail blending foam I used in the past. Plus the sticky mat helped the process – crafting is always evolving isn’t it? Even for those of use who aren’t into glimmer or press plates!

I often find it difficult to come up with new layouts for these trees – I don’t want a busy layout to detract from the delicate die cut but I want to add something. Today it was a simple strip of coloured card and then I added a Waffle Flower vase and old Paula Pascual sentiment plus lots of little gems!

Thanks for stopping by!

Made in May Card 1

Hi there!

I have so many unused or seldom used products that I want to use so this month, I’m making a concerted effort to create with them. I’ve discovered that a number of my cards are too thick for the standard postage rate so I also want to make sure I make a few ‘mailable’ cards as I’d like a few more on hand!

I’m not sure I’ll be able to make a card a day so we’ll see how it goes but one thing I want to do is have fun – and that means no stressing about photography either. I do find it difficult to take decent photos of cards at times  – especially the more traditional front-facing view. So at times there may be fewer photos in these posts – like today actually!

Speaking of today’s card, I used a few new Spellbinders products – the Blooming Stems die set and the Flourish embossing folder. The seal is made using a new die set by Waffle Flower Crafts. The sentiment is from an older Woodware set but the oldest product I used was the Glossy Accents on the edges of the seal – I’ve had it for years and couldn’t believe it still flowed. I have treated myself to a new bottle now though – and surprise surprise it was the same price as the one I bought at least 7 years ago!

I’m pleased because I used my card scraps for the stems and I like how they turned out! I’ve been colouring stems with ink recently, but may make more use of my scraps this month! I never intended to have a blue background – I was literally just testing the layout against my embossing folder swatch when I realised the colours worked so I went with it… I need to do a new swatch now though!

Happy Easter 2025

Hi there and Happy Easter!

Here’s the card I made for my mum using a beautiful new Waffle Flower layered stencil set called Mod Blossoms.

I love how effective these layered stencils are – this was a small set – only 2 stencils, so it was quick and easy to use and the reveal was so special. Stencilling has completely evolved from the old days of metal stencils, lightboxes and chalk!

The sentiment is by Poppystamps and the bow is from a set by Simon Says Stamp.

Glittery Mod Blossoms

Hello again everyone!

Next up today is my entry for the second February Color Throwdown challenge – an interesting combo of pink, lime and teal.

Quite a challenging combo for me but I decided to use my new Waffle Flower Mod Blossoms stencil set and coordinating die with some fabulous Pinkfresh Studio Glitter card.

The sentiment is by Spellbinders and cut from some mirror card that by sheer chance coordinates perfectly with the glitter card!

Heart Week 2025 – Day 7

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 7 of Heart Week 2025 and what a fun week it has been too – mixing very old and very new products to create some fun heart cards!

My heart card today is my entry for this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. I used products from MANY different companies for this card – the branch is by Poppystamps, the hearts are Penny Black and a very old Simon Says Stamp/Kelly Purkey collaboration and the die cut hangers are from a Waffle Flower Crafts Christmas ornament die set! I used an inky panel I’d created from some Distress Mica Stain Spray for the larger heart and then some Craft Consortium paper for the aqua hearts. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Heart Week 2025 – Day 5

Happy Friyay everyone!

Welcome to Day 5 of Heart Week 2025!

What do you do when a crafty order lands on your doormat and you want to use it straightaway but it doesn’t contain any heart items? You use it anyway! I loved Waffle Flower Crafts’ February release and could’ve bought all of it… but I restrained myself and bought a few items… for now! Many thanks to Tracy at Dies to Die For for the incredibly fast shipping! My purchases included the Mod Blossom die and coordinating stencil – I was so inspired by how the DT had used them – so versatile.

I created a panel with the stencil and various distress inks and then used an old Ellen Hutson heart die to cut it. I adhered it to a base that I had embossed with a WRMK Next Level embossing folder that I got back in 2015. Who remembers those? I consider them to be the founding father of the amazing 3D embossing folders we have today!

The sentiment is an old wood-mounted stamp (don’t you just love the little heart above the ‘i’?) and I added a few clear heart gems to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
