Wishing You the Sweetest Things

Hello again!  It has been a long week!  I had some time this afternoon to create something for the MFTWSC sketch.  My friend Marsha came over to have a little crafty time with me.  She recently received her first MFT order and was super excited to play along.


I used my new Mod Borders stamp set to stamp the pretty chevron strip.  I am looking forward to receiving my new MFT ink pads so I can create some pretty backgrounds, as I am lacking in the ink pad department.  Don't you love these colors together?  I am trying to step outside my box.  If you visit often, you know I stick to the same colors most of the time.  Hey, it's my comfort level...what can I say?  My poor flower die-namics have been neglected lately, you will be seeing more of those too.

Gamblers Sale

Hello all! 2014 brings new challenges, new vision and a new focus for Flourishes and today starts that focus. If you travel through our store, you know that we have a mix of old and new. Well, with a new year, we want to focus on all new! That means that what you'll find in the store will be smaller in scope, but always something to appeal to your creative side. What does this mean? We need to clear our shelves. What does that mean for you? You get a chance to save and save big!


I created this tag using various Tim Holtz products found in the Flourishes store.  I love getting inky and creating mixed media projects.  When I sat down, I had actually intended to make a card.  Somehow I deviated from that and made a tag.  Am I happy with the end result?  Not really.  It came out a little darken than I wanted, so I tried to white wash a little with gesso.  Since TH inks react to  water,  the washing was causing the ink to turn muddy.  I had to try and dry bush the gesso with very little water.  Next time I will use paint instead of ink pads.  I wasn't about to throw away the tag since I spent two hours of my time on it.  I decided to go ahead and share it.

 Our MYSTERY BAGS were WILDLY popular in the past and so, why not bring them back? Each bag is valued at roughly $40 but... you pay only $25!!! Each bag has two stamp sets -- YES TWO! One is an unpackaged set that we cannot sell because it doesn't have an index sheet. But, it stamps perfectly and would love a new home! Each bag also has a fun tutorial sheet showcasing a card or technique. Add in a few yards of ribbon and an embellishment and that is what is in each Mystery Bag. It's one heck of a bargain! Once you use your Gambler's Sale Coupon code -- it takes the price down even further! There are limited quantities of these bags so.... pick one up while you can! Before you go, get ready to HOP!

Box of Cards

Good morning!  How is your weekend going so far?  I have a CAS card to share with you.  Do you remember me telling you I made my MIL a box of cards for Christmas?  This is the last one I have to share from that box of cards.  Super quick and easy cards like this, work great for producing multiples for sets to give as gifts.

This is a PTI set I got a couple years called Daydreamer.  I love the different wild flowers that you can stamp to create a field of flowers.  Long after the release of this set, they came out with matching dies.  Unfortunately for me, I do not have them.  It would have been nice to pop up a few flowers.


As you can see in the photo below, I went back and added some yellow dots for a little more color.  Not sure how the photo above doesn't have them.  I must have taken more than one photo and deleted the wrong one.  Like I said, I made this back in December.


Thanks so much for stopping by,

Happy Birthday 2 You

Hello again!  I just wanted to pop in real quick and post a card that I made back in November for my father's birthday. At the time I had scheduled posts and didn't get around to posting it.  I had just received my Plaid Background stamps and was eager to use them.  Loved how well they stamped up a quick background and it is great for masculine cards.
