Our final brush with royalty!

We are winding down our anniversary month here at Flourishes and we hope you've had as much fun as we have! Trust us, we have a little more fun up our sleeves to honor our loyal followers, you'll just have to stick around to find out what is in store! ;-)

As we wrap up the crowning of our Royal Court, we are honoring a lady who was not only the very first customer to buy a set of Flourishes stamps, she was also the very first person to upload a card using Flourishes stamps to the Splitcoast company gallery! Wow!

To say we owe a debt of gratitude to this fine designer would be an understatement! So, we took some extra time to polish her crown to match the others in the Flourishes Royal Court. Without further ado, we hereby crown.....

Rose Ann has been there from day one and continues to be a supporter of Flourishes. She probably has no idea how wonderful that makes everyone behind the scenes feel! It's amazing to be a part of such a team of fabulous concept designers, artists and visionaries... knowing there are customers out there that believe in what we do! It makes it all worth while!

Rose Ann, just email us at flourishesllccustomerservice@cox.net and let us know which stamp set you'd love to add to your stamping stash. Consider it our way of saying thanks!

Switching gears, do we have any challenge lovers out there? Then, we have a challenge for you! This week over in the Copic Buzz group at Paper Craft Planet, Flourishes is hosting the Inspired By Nature challenge! You can click HERE for all the details. Up for grabs is a stamp set of your choice... so check it out!

Thanks for stopping by! We'll be back Friday with our Flourishes Focus! This one is hosted by the fabulous Cindy Lawrence. She'll have a tutorial on how she uses some tools in her studio to manipulate images to get the most out of her stamp sets! Stay tuned!

Royalty Through Loyalty

I have to tell you, as the owner of the finest stamp company around, it has been such an honor to "crown" some of the gems in our business this month. As we blow out the candles on our second year, we have had quite a few customers who believed in us as we opened the door on this company. Many of those customers have stuck with us and are by our side today. There are no words for the gratitude we feel towards these fine ladies!

We knew when we started our birthday celebration, we wanted to honor those loyal Flourishes fans by "crowning" them as Flourishes royalty! One of the ladies we crowned exclaimed recently that she loves her crown so much, she wears it to clean house! We love her style!

Today, we have a few more crowns to hand out! We've polished them up and they are ready to go. This time, we are honoring those customers who have been with us since the beginning, are still with us and in fact, probably own most... if not ALL... of the sets we've released! We can't say enough about their loyalty!

We hereby crown these fine customers to our royal court!

These fine ladies will join Lois Bak, our "Queen" along with royals Liz Williams and Linda Lucas on our Royal Court! Ladies, we'll be sending some special goodies your way. We hope you know how much we appreciate you! Since we were trying to be sneaky and not spill the beans before the official crowning, if you'd like to send our DT Coordinator, Julie Koerber, your photo, we'll be showcasing our entire royal court at the end of the month and would love to have your pictures! Please email her at juliekoerber@gmail.com with your photos!

Thanks for stopping by! Stacy Morgan will be joining us Friday with another Flourishes Focus, this one is all about de-stressing she tells me! ;-) Be sure to come back and see what she cooked up!

Fresh Picks... Day 1!

It's time for the next batch of Flourishes stamps and this one is fresh for the pickin'!

Did you know that ripe cherries off the tree mean success and happiness? Did you know the peach tree is considered to be the tree of life and that peaches are symbols of immortality and unity? Both are fun facts aimed at getting you in the mood for our first sneak peek for August!

Introducing....


This set drawn by the lovely and talented Marcella Hawley looks juicy enough to eat. It's full of peaches and cherries that look downright delectable! There are also some of those great sentiments perfect for any occassion!

There's a second stamp we're sneak peeking today too! it's one that really compliments all the fruit sets that Marcy has whipped up lately!

Before we go, we have some more fabulously loyal and royal friends of Flourishes to add to our Royal Court. If you stopped by last Wednesday, you saw we made Lois Bak the 'Queen' of our Royal Court! As we celebrate our second anniversary, we thought, why not honor this loyalty by making some of our best and brightest customers... royalty! We could literally "crown" them as one of our most precious gems in business.

This week, we looked to the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge Players! Not one, but TWO ladies rose to the top!

This week we hereby crown.....

In the 28 weeks that the Friends of Flourishes have ushered in their Timeless Tuesday challenges, Liz has missed only two! And, there have been many weeks that she linked up not one, but two or three or even four cards! We love her committment and style!

We also crown..... 'Lovely Linda' as many call her might have missed a few challenges but there is no doubt - she's got the Timeless Tuesday Fever! After we looked at all the challenges and her entries - she's submitted well over 50 cards for our FTTC challenges! You go girl!

Ladies, we love your vim and for it, you officially join Lois as members of our Royal Court! We'll be sending some goodies your way!

Tomorrow, we'll continue our sneak peeks and this honors a whole new kind of fresh pick -- one that comes in a bundle and brings lots of joy!

See you tomorrow!

The Queen Of Our Royal Court

When we kicked off our FLIP program a.k.a. Flourishes' Loyalty Incentive Program, we knew we wanted to find a way to really honor those customers that have made Flourishes what it is today. Words can't truly express just how much we appreciate your loyalty and words also can't truly express how touched we are that many of you have stuck with us since the birth of our stamp company dream.

We got to thinking and we thought - why not honor this loyalty by making them royalty! We could literally "crown" them as one of our most precious gems in business.

One customer has been with us almost since day one. She has been a wonderful fixture in the Flourishes Forum on SCS. She has posted her beatiful creations in our gallery on Splitcoast. She has commented and shown us support on our Newsletter. We honestly have no idea what we would do without this fantastic lady who has stood and continues to stand by us.

That's why we couldn't think of a better person to be crowned Queen of our forthcoming Flourishes Royal Court!

We hereby crown.....

Lois, we have a special surprise for you that we are popping in the mail as our humble way to say thank you! You truly are the "Queen" of our customers.

Do you want to see some of Lois' gorgeous work? These are just a few of the 273 Flourishes creations she's posted in her gallery on Splitcoast!

Here's a beauty she created with the Nasturtiums set...
This one created with the Home Tweet Home set has such a class about it. The colors Lois chose on this Siberian Iris card is just calming. It is one gorgeous creation!
And last but not least, this card done up with the All That Glitters set is the epitomy of class with hints of silver. It's just beautiful!
From here, Lois will have a group of loyal and royal friends added to her court. Look for more announcements each Wednesday during August!

Thanks for stopping by!
