It's WORD week at Just Us Girls and Bobby has chosen EMBOSS. Embossing folders, embossing powders... what to do, what to do! I went with embossing folders. Take a look...
When reaching for an old favorite doily embossing folder, I found I already had a piece of embossed white cardstock left in the folder from a previous project. So, I set out to frame it. This sweet frame (Fab Framed Die) by The Stamp Market was just the ticket. I added some of the cute little flowers included in the die set and one of their sentiments (Stamp N Cut Love Notes) too. The background embossing folder (Allover Stitches) is by Penny Black.

This is the first card I've made in a few weeks. All of my DT projects where done while we snuggled in surrounded by deep snow. My mom was in the hospital again for a few days and then a couple of weeks in a rehab facility for physical and occupational therapy. She's coming home today! We've been taking my dad each day to visit and taking care of his meals. Lots of doctor appointments for both of them has kept us busy too.
It felt good to get crafty. Visiting your blogs in the evening brings me inspiration too! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!
Lisa, the combination of your embossed background, frame and sweet gingham flowers makes for a gorgeous card! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your mom is coming home; such a relief. Sending positive vibes your way...

Glad you got to get some crafty time in between dr appointments and hospital visits and all the meal deliveries too! Sending lots of continued prayers and hugs to all of you!! Take care my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Your embossed background and lovely frame with those cute gingham flowers so pretty Lisa. I love your card and the colors. Glad your Mom is better and is coming home. I have been going through a similar situation with my brother but things are getting better. Take care my friend. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteWonderful and fresh, your card is beautiful! I so love that frame, and then not one but two embossing folders (not to mention the frame) -- wow.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that your mom is doing well and coming home, a sigh of relief is in order for you. I hope you get some respite now too
Lovely card, Lisa! The embossed frame with the sweet flowers is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to ask about your mom. She's had a time of it and I know it's stressful and tiring for all of you. But a blessing to have your parents near and so glad your mom is coming home. Wishing you strength, my friend. Your card is so lovely with the beautiful flowers and that wonderful frame! Missed the last challenge, but hoping to enter this one.
ReplyDeleteA sweet card for a sweet friend. This is delightful, Lisa! I like the two embossing folders you used to bring this card to be. I'm so glad to hear that your mom will be coming home. I pray for her full recovery. What a blessing that you are close and can be with your parents during a difficult time.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, Lisa. Double embossing, gingham flowers and the bright coral frame. It all went together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThe gingham flowers are so sweet and pretty with that gorgeous frame, Lisa! The embossed doilies deserved framing!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - glad your mom is doing better!! Love your card too - texture looks amazing behind your focal cluster!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I love those embossed pieces. That frame is perfect for the embossed doilies and the gingham flowers are great! Glad your parents are together in one place now and hope things get back to "normal" or maybe a "new normal? Is there such a thing as normal?! I wonder that with my life! lol! Take care.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Lisa, you've been a busy girl and a dedicated, loving daughter. I know how much your mom and dad appreciate you. I'm glad to hear your mom is now well enough to come home. How pretty your card is! The frame hanging with the bow is aptly named because it is truly "fab", and how charming to have it bordered with the sweet gingham flowers!
ReplyDeleteLisa, you're a good daughter and I know your parents appreciate you so much. Glad you got some creative time in with all you are juggling. That frame looks so good on the embossed background and the flowers/bow dies are great details to boot. Such a pretty card!
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of the embossed backgrounds and that frame with the pretty gingham flowers is so sweet!
