Why hello there! How have you been? Hope you’re doing well!
Have you heard about the newly released Hero Arts-Sizzix dies and matching stamps? I finally got my hands on some and had to play, yay! I needed three cards to send so I whipped these up in a jiffy:
Here’s a closeup of the flower so that you can see it better!
The dies are open in the middle and that makes it super easy to line up. Just stamp first, position the die in place and run it through the machine. (Yep that’s really it!) A great way to make cards in a jiffy. Of course I couldn’t make the flowers all the same, had to color them differently! And, don’t you just love that font in “hello”? It’s a Hero Arts-Studio Calico set, can’t wait to play with it more.
And, I thought I’d share a little update on the knee — the last week has been truly awful. :( The doc switched me to a less intense pain medicine and I had a bad reaction to it — dizzy, trouble breathing, nausea — the works! And it didn’t help with the pain, either. Couldn’t do my PT, it was that bad. I got a different pain medicine yesterday and it’s so much better today — yay! Can’t wait until this is all over, I just know it will be worth it in the end. :)
Hugs and hope you’re doing well,
Oh, loverly!!! *hug* So fun to see these from you today! :)
I can’t wait until I have those new heroarts+sizzix stamps in my hands as well! Your cards are so elegant and I love the bright colors on the flowers against the distressed background. So happy medicine is working for you. It has been so difficult for you the last couple of months. I wish you recover ASAP!
So sorry to hear your knee is still giving you so much trouble! Stay strong! Love your cards too. :)
It WILL be worth it in the end, Lisa. So sorry that had to happen. . .must have been so scary! Glad you’re back on track!
Love this beautiful set of cards! Pretty colors on your flowers! Hugs to you! :)
Absolutely love it, Lisa! So gorgeous! I hope all the troubles with your knee will be over very soon! Sending you big hugs!
Such pretty cards, Lisa! Can’t wait to get these die/stamp sets and have a play with them! So sorry to hear about your set-back; hopefully things will be nothing but positive from here on out!
Pretty pretty cards Lisa. I hope your knee heals fast and the meds. work. Take care.
I adore your cards…the pops of color are simply perfect….thank you for the fab inspiration!!!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better…
Oh Lisa!!! I am so sorry you went through such a horrible thing. I have been there and I know how bad it can get and to be in intense pain throughout makes it 10x worse! HUGS!!!
Your cards are gorgeous and put a huge smile on my face today!!!
Love this design Lisa, very sweet! I just got this die set and love it. Sorry to hear you were not feeling well, hope you are feeling all better soon.
Hi Lisa so love this card set! :> Sorry to hear your in so much pain and the bad reaction. Not good at all! Sending you get well wishes, hope your leg heals up fast!
Beautiful cards, Lisa. I hope the worst part of the recuperation is behind you now.
great card set! Take it one day at a time with the knee….
I love these cards! So sorry to hear that you are still in pain and also about the terrible
side effects from the pain meds. Sending healing thoughts your way and hoping that you
will be pain free very soon.
Thinking of you and hope you’ve found the right medication to see you through to complete recovery. Blessings to you and keep thinking good thoughts.
Modern medicine and technology are truly wonderful as we discovered recently when my husband had a heart attack. He had to have one of his medications modified but is doing well now and will start cardiac re-hab this coming week. Diet and exercise do not always prevent a heart attack when there is a genetic factor involved as we found out!
Hang in there because it will get better!
Hugs!
