sally can craft

2020 has been tough. We've been sheltering in place, physical distancing and doing everything we can to stay safe, well and see this pandemic come to an end. For many of us - myself included - this has meant spending a year far away from family and friends. Even though we are far apart, this year has been the year to go deeper with relationships and really cherish what matters - the conversations we can have and the memories we share. Here's a little COVID card I made to send to someone far away to let them know that they are and always will be in my heart. I stamp and heat embossed two of the panels using copper embossing powder and the Lovely You stamp set. The middle panel I stamped with a few different coloured inks. The leaves I layered on top are from the Forever Flourishing dies . I used the Lovely Labels punch to create my layered label for my sentiment. I actually bought the Lovely You stamp set and Lovely Labels as a bundle (it's cheaper) as it goes really wel

A little lace

I'm loving making my own background paper. Sometimes you want to use a specific colour combo and you just don't have Designer Series Paper that meets that requirement. The great thing about having a stamp set is that you can use multiple stamps from the set to make your own background - which is exactly what I did here with the A Little Lace stamp set. I used the retired Coastal Weave embossing folder to add some dimension to a vertical strip but you could use any folder. A few metallic pearls and some ribbon and this card was complete. It's a different colour palate than what I've been using recently but sometimes you need to break out of your comfort zone. Here's to experiments in craft working out well and not being failures 😀 Happy crafting. Sally

Not so mellow yellow!

I am in love... with Delightfully Dijon. It's the perfect mustard yellow colour that isn't too bright and isn't too brown. I usually fall in love with one in colour each year and I think this might be the one.... although Tip Top Taupe could be a close second. Hot of the heels of my last post I'm still on my gratitude card kick. How are you guys going with that? Any gratitude cards getting made and posted? This one if quite different from last weeks - with a much bolder colour palate. I'm really still getting my crafting mojo back this year. It's been so hectic at work that I haven't made as much time for it as I like. I hope that my gratitude cards will help me be a little more intentional about setting some craft time - as it's so good for my soul! (And my energy levels as it completely refreshes me mentally). This card was super quick and easy to make. A few layers. One stamped image. Some embossing with my bigshot - and hey
