Celebrate Good Fortune.... the final day of Flourishes sneaks!

When Flourishes set out to create a set that would deliver good fortune for St. Patty's Day, we wanted to make sure this set could be used year round with beautiful Irish imagery that could deliver words of good luck, loyalty and friendship.... anytime you wish!

Introducing....
This beautiful set drawn by Flourishes' artist Marcella Hawley offers an Irish blessing complete with clover, a claddagh and beautiful sentiments that are perfect for friends far and wide. It's drawn in Marcella's classic style and really is like no other set out there!

Celebrate Friendship.... day 2 of the sneaks!

Sitting and sipping tea with a friend, there's really nothing like that quiet time, just visiting and enjoying the company of a friend you hold dear. And, that is what this latest set being released is all about!

Introducing....

This set drawn by Flourishes illustrator Lauren Pope is full of classy and classic images that take tea time to a whole new level! These tea pots were drawn based on Flourishes' owner Jan Marie Caruso's own personal teapot collection. One is Asian inspired. The other looks like a tea service used only at high tea, complete with silver tray. So, hop on over and see what kind of creativity is steeping over at our different designer's blogs!

The Fresh Picked Fun Begins!

Welcome fans of Flourishes to another fabulous few days of sneak peeks! It all starts today!

I can't count how many stampers I know that split their time between paper crafting and gardening when the warm months hit. And this new February release takes to heart those stamper's passions!

Introducing....

This set drawn by Flourishes' illustrator Marcella Hawley is downright whimsical! It is quaint and heartwarming and it calls to mind all the things we love about gardening -- that we can take time to enjoy the quiet moments and share the beauty cultivated with others! This darling set features 7 focal images and 6 different sentiments that you can mix and match. Oh, the potential!

Thanks so much to you all for playing along with  all of our FTTC Anniversary Challenges last week!  Thanks so much for celebrating timeless challenges with us!  The FTTC Anniversary Challenge Winners will be posted today at NOON! Please check back to find out who all won!

Our challenge host this week is  Barbara Anders, our NEW FOF blog team member! Welcome to the team! Barbara is jumping right in with a challenge. Barbara is challenging us to easel cards. Never tried an easel card before?  No problem. Here is a SCS video easel card tutorial which includes ingredients lists, measurements, and individual pictures by Beate Johns. We would love to see what you create!


Let's take a look at Barbara's easel card!

Barbara created a beautiful easel card using  Beach Life stamp set.  Doesn't this tropical scene looks so warm and inviting.  To stamp her image, Barbara is using Flourishes Classic White cardstock.   She colored the image using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Flesh Tones and Fields.  She die cut the focal image  using Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle.  Barbara finished her card using Finishing Touches Mini Messages layered with a starfish charm.  Beautifully done, Barbara! Please check out Barbara's blog for more card details.

Check out the other FOF blog team designers to see the easel card they made!
