Flourishes April New Release Day 2

Welcome to the second day of Flourishes April Release.

Today we are introducing our second set that coordinates with our Tailor Made Classic Bookplate Die from last month.

I created a lattice card for my second Flourishes New Release set called Botanical Book Plates Volume 2. This set coordinates with the Tailor- Made Classic Bookplate Die that was release last month..

I stamped the florals in this set on a piece of Flourishes Classic White Cardstock. Then I colored with Flourishes Copics Collection:

I then created my lattice and added the Kaiser- Miss Nelly Jewels. My card base is the Spellbinders Grand Label 23 die and I cut it and my Tailor Made die out using my Grand Calibur.

There is a mystery blogger somewhere within the design team so be sure to leave a comment so that you have a chance to win this set..

Blog Candy...

It is time for a Friday Free For All at Flourishes.. Today we are showing off some of the newly released sets. This is just a quick card I whipped up while my daughter is here visiting for spring break.

This card has lots of Flourishes goodies on it.. I stamped my Magnolias onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock. Then I colored with Flourishes Copics Collection:

I cut my magnolias out with my Grand Calibur using the Classic Square Dies. I added some of the gorgeous White Scalloped Lace Trim Flourishes has in the store now. I also created a bow with the Satin Finish Baby Pink ribbon. I also added a Pink Pearl Swirl.

The designer paper at the bottom is the MME Blush collection. I also used one of the new embossing folders Flourishes has in stock. It is called Diamond Shadows.

I also have this set to give away.. SO leave me a comment below for a chance to win. I will pick a winner on Monday morning.

Magnolias

Do you ever see a stamp set and instantly fall in love with it. This is just that set for me. Our first home had a big Magnolia tree in the front yard. I have pictures of my girls sitting under it when they were just little bits of things. I LOVE this set and you will too.

I stamped my Magnolias out twice onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and cut out the second one and popped it up over the first. I love the depth it gives. I used the Mind's Eyes Blush designer paper.

I then cut it out with my Grand Calibur and Spellbinders Label Six. I chose the Flourishes Copics Collections:

A few weeks ago Cindy Lawrence showed us how to use these fun little embellishments. They are called Candi Solid-Icing Sugar and you can customize your colors..Check out Cindy's tutorial HERE...

I also added some of this pretty Taupe Scalloped Lace.

Flourishes March Release Day 1

It is the first day of Flourishes March Release. You are in for some real treasures this month.. This set is beautifully illustrated and the sentiments are fabulous.

I stamped my image on Flourishes Classic White Cardstock. I used Flourishes Copics Collection:

I chose the My Mind's Eye Blush designer paper. I think this paper is one of my favorites. I added some of this pretty Satin Pleats trim Flourishes has in the store. It is so nice. Then I finished it off with some

May Arts Wrinkled Pink Ribbon. I cut the stamped flowers out with my Grand Calibur using the Spellbinder's Classic Circle die.

Flourishes Friday

It is time for a Flourishes Friday post. This week I have 2 cards for you. They are polar opposites from each other. The first card I am featuring today is the Flourishes Irish Blessings set.

I colored this image with Flourishes Copics Collections:

I stamped the image out onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock. I used my Grand Calibur to cut out my Classic Oval Die. I added some crocheted lace and a little flower.

My second card is for Teapot Tuesday over at Splitcoaststampers. This is one of my favorite challenges. I haven't played in so long. Each week there is a teapot for inspiration and then they have a destination for the card. It is a wonderful group of stampers. This week the cards go to a SCS member that tragically lost her husband. She wants to some day have a house on the beach. So I pulled out Beach Life from Flourishes and got to watercoloring it. I used my Grand Calibur again and the Labels 23 die. I added some gingham ribbon and a few little pearl flourishes. Simple card that took FOREVER to watercolor.
