Flourishes July Sneak, Day Three

Pin It

Welcome to Day Three of Flourishes June Sneaks! I have a couple of projects for you today. But first, if you’ve been liking what you’ve seen this week, I’m happy to report that all of the Flourishes June sets are in the Flourishes store!

Are you ready for today’s reveal? Actually, we have a set and a digital download to help you celebrate all kinds of occasions!

Happily Ever After Graphic


First of all, a card using another new set, Happily Ever After. It’s a sentiment set that will go with many Flourishes sets. I’m using it with Summer Blossoms for an anniversary card. I stamped the images on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with these Copic Collections:

Evergreen Collection:

Gerbera Daisy Collection:

Sunflower Collection:

Iced Aqua Collection:

Lilac Collection:

Then I cut it out with my Labels Twenty Two Nestabilities die and sponged it with Antique Linen Distress Ink. My layout is pretty simple, but I did some stitching and tied a bow around and popped up my focal image on some foam.

Here’s the inside, with another image from each set:

Flourishes is also introducing an invitation digital download today. You can find it HERE—it’s a 4” x 6” PDF file for only $2. I think you’ll agree it will be a great addition to your stamping arsenal.

I’ve been wanting to host a Christmas Cookie Exchange party for years; since I have this fabulous idea in place, this just might be the year :)

I printed the invitation form off on some X-Press Copic coloring paper, stamped two images from Sweets Of the Season at the top, and colored it with these Copic Collections:

Poppy Collection:

Rich Brown Collection:

Buttercup Collection:

Then I matted it with red card stock and it was done! Very mail friendly, too :)
