Release day!

We think we have another great month for new releases - our goal is to bring timeless and classic images to stampers and what could be more timeless and classic than Roses, Floral Bouquets and Lace? Marcella Hawley again provides her great artwork exclusively for these Flourishes Designs.

We are once again offering our New Release Bundle - purchase all three new sets and save 10%!!

And - don't forget we are continuing our JustRite Special - 25% off ALL Justrite products! Click here to see all the items!

Finally, we are now carrying a larger selection of the Palette Ink line - so you have many more colors to choose from! Click here to see them all!

Now for the new stamps!

I love Roses
If you love floral stamps then a Rose set is a must have and Marcella Hawley gives us a beautiful set. How classy is Laura Fredrickson's Rose card! It has a wonderful stained glass look.















Thinking Of You
A special stamp set when you need just the right words to convey heartfelt thoughts. We see this set being used in both solid and multi colors. Cindy Haffner's card is so very delicate and soft.














Lace and Trim
Look closely at Laura Fredrickson's card below. Her main image is from the rose set, but the background lace image is from the new Lace and Trim set. The set was created based on actual antique lace and trims - doesn't it look like real lace in this card?















Remember when you make a purchase, please let us know which of our designers inspires you! Just type their name - first name and last initial - in the promotion code box at check out and we will give them a bonus!

Now here is a look at the three new sets:

Featured Stamper -- Week 29 Winners!

This one was a tough one. Super duper tough. Each and every card in the gallery this week was worthy of walking away with the title of best card! I had a winner and then two mintues later I'd say - but that one is awesome. I changed my mind a million times! So, if you want some great inspiration. Click HERE to see all the entries. You won't be sad you did!


Onto the winners! From the forum, the winners are........

Stacy, Chrstine and SCS name -Tobaby!

Oh my, I love each and every one of these creations for different reasons! First up, Stacy. She did this uber creative purse that is made to have her coffee themed cards made with the Coffee and Friends set sit inside. There are four in all and they are all darling!

Here's a look at the purse.....

And here's a look at the cards that fit inside!

Next up, Christine. When I first saw this card, I gasped. It is so rich in color and her watercolor technique is to die for. I would love to sit down with her and have her show me how she does what she does. Amazing! She used the Figs and Pomegranites set!

Last but not least ---- Tobaby! I think this is just such a pretty card made with the Rejoice set. The inked up background that repeats the pattern of the main image is great! I might look at this stamp differently now that I can use a section of it as a background! Just goes to show, you need to think out of the box and see stamps for more than just a saying stamp or a background stamp! On top of all that, I love, love, love the glitter and the way the image was colored! I bet this beauty really sparkles!

Now... onto the gallery! You know - where I pick a card that was in the FLLC gallery that I thought was pretty or creative. So.... that winner is Michelle B.! And,here is her card!

So, all four will be entered into the this month's drawing of a free stamp set of their choice!

Keep those entries coming! We LOVE to see what you do with Flourishes stamps!

Oh, and don't forget! Wednesday is the release of our new images for December! They are all to die for! You won't want to miss Faith's Chat With A Designer in the SCS Flourishes Forum Tuesday night from 7 to 9 eastern time. We'll be chatting away and have some samples to sneak peek! It is bound to be a blast!

Festive Flourishes Friday!

Just hear those sleigh bells ring-a-ling, ting, ting, tingle-ing too! Come on it's lovely weather for --- Festive Flourishes Friday! And, you can join in all the fun!

This week, it's all about the colors of Christmas-RED and GREEN! So, grab your favorite Flourishes set and let your creativity flow! That’s the only requirement! You don’t even have to make it a Christmas card. If you want to play along, simply leave a comment on this post or upload your card to Splitcoast using the keyword FFFC01. Keep in mind, we’ll be doing this fun Friday challenge all month long and there will be a special drawing for those that play all four weeks! Details on what is up for grabs -- to come!!

So, let's start the parade!

Don't you love how Becca used one of the flourished borders from the Flourished Elements set for her birdies from the Birds And Vine set to sit on? Very cute! They just look so alive sitting there! I love how one is even looking up to see the bird in flight! Very creative!

I absolutely LOVE the vibrant colors of Cindy's card. This is just too pretty! I love the decorative paper she used. I love the punched and paper pierced edges and I love how she added glitter to the ornaments from the All that Glitters set to make it just sparkly and festive!

Betty's ready for a sleigh ride with this beauty! Don't you love the antique flair to this card? She used distress inks to give her card that warm and cozy look! Love the vintage Christmas feel!
Now Dee and I were both on the same page when we did this challenge -- because we both are doing double duty this week! In addition to the Red and Green-- We both take part in the Friday Stamp Simply challenge which - this week - is to make a Christmas card with stamps that are NOT Christmas! You can add a Christmas sentiment, but the image had to be something that was not designed for Christmas! So, Dee used the Just Rite alphabet in the Times Roman font (on sale now--25%) to spell out her Noel and also added those fabulous flourish from the Wedding Esssentials set. Do you see the extra sparkle she added? Adds a bit of whimsy!

For my card, I used the Mardi Gras set and stole the crowns from the set to make me "Three Kings!" the saying, "Wise Men Still Seek Him" is from the City of David set. See that Christmas Glittered Paper sticking out on top? I love the razzle dazzle of this paper! And... it's on sale now! I thought the card turned out well and -- I love the Mardi Gras set for the crowns! Can you see - King-For-A-Day birthday cards? Fit-For-A-Queen gift packs? Oh my, the options are endless!
Since we made this challenge up mid week - Christine already made a card ripe for Christmas using beautiful shades of blue! She is actually at a retreat -- (waving to Christine) hope she had fun!! Her card is a real stunner! That crisp blue and white is to die for! I love, love, love the angel from the Rejoice set (it's on sale now you know-- 25%!)

We hope you enjoyed taking this "ride" with us this morning and remember-- if you want to join us in the challenge, make a card and link it in a comment here or upload to Splitcoast. This week's key word is FFFC01!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Some Hellos..... and some goodbyes!

As the design team coordinator for Flourishes, I have the honor and privilege of working with some of the best designers out there. Words can't express just how much they've taught me, made me laugh and felt like sisters! Two of those designers are Susan Roberts and Linda Duke. Both of their styles are off the charts beautiful and I have learned a thing or two (or three, or four) from them both as well. That's why it's with a sad heart that we say goodbye to these two talented designers! They've served their six months with the team and now they are off to cultivate their creativity in other ways! We wish them all the best!

Now, to the "hellos!" We are welcoming two new faces to our Friends of Flourishes blog team! This team began as a way to show how diverse artists could use these gorgeous stamps in ways that many of us would never have dreamed of! So, please welcome Kimberly Crawford and, welcome back Dee Jackson! Kimberly's work first caught my eye last summer while I was blog surfing and I've "kept tabs" on her ever since! She has such a creative, fresh, and scrappy style! She is one creative cookie and I can't wait to get to know her better!

Here's a bit from Kim in her own words.....

"Hi! My name is Kimberly Crawford and I am honored to be joining the Friends of Flourishes Blogger Team!! My husband, son, cat, and I live in northern Minnesota, right next to Lake Superior. My busy family and the beautiful nature surrounding me provide a lot of inspiration. I currently work as the class instructor at my LSS. As a former elementary teacher, I love the chance to get to teach again! I love paper crafting, it is my creative release and, outside my family, it is my passion. My style is simple and clean, but I enjoy experimenting with new products and new techniques. I have had the privilege of my work published in Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Paper Crafts, handmade, and in 2009Paper Crafts."

To get ready for her big reveal here, Kim made this beautiful card using the All That Glitters set in a way I haven't see before! I love the non-traditional colors she used and that sparkle is to die for! Welcome aboard Kim! We can't wait to see all the wonderful things you have in store in the months to come! It's homecoming for this next designer! Dee Jackson served on one of Flourishes very first Design Teams! Well, thankfully, she wanted to come back and be on our blog team! Dee has such a crisp, clean look. Flourishes stamps in Dee's hands are just such a natural fit! We are glad to have her back!

You can check out her blog HERE and some of her past work with Flourishes HERE!

To get ready for her come back, Dee whipped up this beautiful creation using the All that Glitters set! Her card creates a window of sorts to showcase those fabulous pine cone ornaments!

We hope you give these ladies a warm welcome! We know they are bound to inspire when we unveil their creations on our Flourishes Friday roundup!

Stay tuned! A Featured Stamper is on it's way and we'll have that for you soon!
