Sending my Love

June 20, 2021

Hi there! Today I’m joining several of my talented crafty friends in an Instagram hop to wish our friend, Andy Granick, well wishes. Andy will be going through some medical issues/procedures and we want to uplift him and show him how much his crafty community cares for him. He’s not only a fabulous crafter, but he’s also the sweetest guy ever.

SSS-Layered Hills Dies, Reverse Get Well

Andy shares my love for clean, graphic and colorful cards, so I wanted to make something with him in mind. For my project I used the Layered Hills die set that my daughter, Bailey, designed several releases ago and it is still one of my favorite die sets. I used several shades of solid colored cardstock.

SSS-Layered Hills Dies, Reverse Get Well

For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Get Well sentiment strips with the Sentiment Label dies.
