Introducing....
We knew when we launched this set that we wanted to use it to honor the men and women who serve and have given their lives for the freedom of our country. As many military men and women will tell you -- Freedom is not free. In times of war, soldiers come home wounded and are in need of a helping hand in life. Having deep ties to our country's military, Flourishes wanted to be a part of the solution. If you didn't know this, all three of the Flourishes' husbands are retired military. Jan Marie has a grandson that is currently headed overseas to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty. That's why we are honoring this fine organization....
Flourishes will proudly donate a portion of the proceeds of our brand new Patriotism on Parade set to the Wounded Warrior Project. It's a non-profit organization who's mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. We believe wholeheartedly in the work they do. They have training programs to help wounded soldiers transition into the workforce. They have caregiver training focusing on PTSD. They have support groups and rehabilitative retreats that they fund. They are going above and beyond to help the men and women that went above and beyond to protect and serve. We can't wait to give back to this one of a kind charity!We hope you make time to see how our design team put this whimsical and patriotic set to use! Please stop by and visit....

Can't wait for the party to start! These sets look amazing!
Oh my gosh! This is a "must have" set!!
What an amazing set! And donating a portion of the proceeds is fantastic!
A banner on SCS showing this set is what made me take notice of your company and what you offer. I am a Navy veteran and my husband is retired Navy. I am always looking for great patriotic sets and this one looks like a must have!
Wow that was tricky. You said to post a comment on the newsletter so I went looking just for that and didn't realize that the blog was the newsletter until I clicked on comments and saw the title flourishes newsletter. WeW that's my mouse & click exercise for the night :D
Totally love this new set. Reminds me of the small town parades of all the tiny towns I've lived in over the years. And perfect for those of us that love that silhouette look!
Wonderful too that you are supporting the work of Wounded Warriors. Thanks from all of us for showing us what a stamp company with a heart really looks like!
Looking forward to Friday's party - see you there - Jean
Even if Im not an american, I think its a great set, and I love that you are donating from it too!
It is great that you are supporting the work of Wounded Warriors.
Looks like another awesome set! I have it on my ever growing want list!!
oh I would love to win this set..that I cannot seem to find online to view!
Great patriotic set and very generous of you to donate a portion to the Wounded Warriors.
Amazing set!
I can see the pride in all the card samples. This is a keeper...
THANK YOU for making a patriotic set! It looks lovely. Can't wait to order it, but thanks also for the chance to win it.

Another wonderful set...and a worthy cause. You ROCK at flourishes!!!
I love the huge varitey of styles and uses the DT found for this set.
This one is a winner!! I LOVE this set. If you're taking pre-orders, put me down. :)
This is fantastic! Thank you for making a much needed set. It's perfect!!!
Amazing set ! How great to donate part of the proceeds!
Boy, my "want" list is getting bigger and bigger!
thanks!
Of course, would love to win the stamp set but more importantly is the cause you are putting forth for all of us to consider. Wounded Warriors is just the best you could have chosen and your timing is perfect. Marines out of Iraw by 2010? Not soon enough for the hundreds of wounded and brain injuured already here fighting for their way of life. Way to go ladies!

This Patriotism set is awesome. I usually only buy rubber stamps but I certainly will buy this one. Love it.
You saved the best for last! This silhouette image is awesome, right down to the little child in the wagon! You can eliminate my name from the running since I was fortunate enough to win yesterday, but I just wanted to comment on this great set and the wonderful organization you're sharing the proceeds with! I can't wait to see the full release!

Thank you for making this set - it is so wonderful to see something that includes Canada! And great cause too!
What a wonderful gesture, to give to those that give everday. Your generosity will be felt world wide. The sets are all FABULOUS!! It would be an honor to win this set and everytime I create a card there will be an added bonus, this great cause!!!
This is a gorgeous set! I love the fireworks and bunting images especially. The DT did a great job making beautiful samples!! Thanks for the chance to win :)
Wonderful stamps set. It is awesome that you are donating to the wounded warriors~what a wonderful cause. Please Jen Marie give her grandson a hug from me.
What a talented group of ladies on your DT! Inspiration abounds!
What a generous way to support those who have served and are serving our great country!
Your design team has done some fabulous cards! Looked at every one of them. I love anything patriotic, and this new set is wonderful. Thanks for the chance to win this set.

Very cool set and you chose an amazing organization to support!
Wow! I love this set and the wonderful organization you are contributing too.
What images to add to Class Reunion festivities under freedom's banner! I'd love to set up a table for schoolwide visitors could make a soldier card. Some cards would undoubtedly reflect the monsterous fireworks local pyros display set to patriotic music for over forty minutes. Each day of our community's 100th birthday celebration kicks off with cowboy breakfast and a mile plus Independence day parade led by local veterans proudly limping, wheeling, and walking with USA, MT, and school colors full sail in the morning breeze(we hope no gale). What a winning set Patriotism on Parade will be for this freedom celebration! appreciation for our current and past troops plus whole community thankfulness. Did I mention that our ninety year young uncle and one hundred four year witty aunt (one from either side of the family) will be actively in each day's parade?!
Keep Looking UP!

A wonderful organization to make donations to! And I love this set. It will be so nice for many occasions.

This set looks fabulous; I'm so in love with that bunting!
Wow! This set just looks incredible! My DH is Army and we're stationed at Scott AFB (IL) and some of the wounded warriors travel through here on their way to other medical care or going home. DH always considers it an honor to go shake hands with them. Thank you for giving back to our warriors!!
Wow - this set is absolutely wonderful. My husband is a US Marine, so the wounded warrior program is especially near and dear to our hearts - thanks you for supporting this worthy organization. I will be getting this set one way or the other for sure!
What a wonderful, patriotic set! Perfect for the 4th, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day... It's hard to find such a versatile set!
My son (who has autism) is quite the patriot. He LOVES the flag.
With very limited speech, he can say the pledge and can't start his day at school without it. Love this set!

This is a gorgeous set!! Saw a preview by Christine over on Splitcoasters and loved it. Thanks so much for a chance to win, and for supporting such a wonderful cause!
This is another fabulous set and how cool to have a chance to win one. Whooo Hooo!! Another party. Thanks for a chance.
Outstanding! The set is definitely a must have for my Any Hero cards, and the support for WWP is a great idea. Thanks for feeding my addiction with another wonderful set.
Wow! So awesome that you are supporting Wound Warriors!!! What a great organization. Can't wait ot see the whole set!
Awesome !!! What a great tribute !
I love the children parade - I do hope it is part of the set - saw a similar design on a card that Becca did, but she said it was designer paper. Would love to have the stamp -see so many uses for it.
All the cards I have seen made with this set are wonderful and for you to donate to such a wonderful and deserving cause is greater still! Thank you for sharing the wonderful ideas and for Caring enough to share the proceeds.
I hope I'm putting this in the right place - the blog said to comment in the newsleter, but this *is* the newsletter...
This is beautiful idea. As an Army brat myself, I know what these men and ladies are doing over there is incredible and they need all the love and support we can give them. You ladies are fantastic to get everyone helping ni this way. I hope I'm lucky enough to win the set too.
Just in time for the great 4th of July- can't wait to see the whole set!
I LOVE patriotic sets, and can't wait to see all of this one!!! You all are supporting GREAT causes...that is SO commendable! We take so much for granted in the USA, and we must never forget those that made the sacrifices so that we can be a totally free people...

This new set speaks to me - I have to have it!! I served 24 years in the military, had long periods of time away from home and often in a war zone - the most recent being a year in Iraq!! I just recently retired but my son is now heading into his third year at the Naval Academy as a Marine-option midshipman! I am proud of serving my country and I LOVE that you are honoring our patriots with this fabulous set!!! What a great organization too - thanks Flourishes!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
I am very patriotic due to the influence of my mother. I would love to have this set to make her a card to thank her for all she taught me. The design team did a great job on their cards!
What a great set! And, what a worthy cause you're donating to! My husband's retired AF and my daughter and son-in-law are currently deployed to Iraq so I thank you for your support.
Love them, love them - must have them. Jackie
Love a chance to win, love this stamp set, love that it's for a VERY worthy cause, really falling in love with FLOURISHES! I'm new to you, but so impressed with what I'm seeing and happy to jump in--thanks for letting me!
Patriotic stamps are hard to find, thank you for this set. I have military in my family and a grandson on board a carrier who has done one tour of duty. My sorority has made cards for th V.A. Hospital in St. Pete., Fl. & send postage money to Cards for Heros, as you can see I stand behind these fine men & women for there service to us.
Oh I can't wait to see the set!! The all creations are fabulous and I know this is going to be a wonderful set!!

What a wonderful stamp set and a terrific organization. My Dad served in WWII and two of my brothers served in Vietnam. My Dad was the ultimate patriot and shared the love of our country with all of his children. You couldn't chose a more fitting organization to support. Thank you!
