Timeless Tuesday: Silver or Gold

Good morning Flourishes friends! Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? Are you ready for Christmas? It's right around the corner and to get ready for it, our hostess Cindy is challenging us to create a card with : Silver or Gold! 

I love to decorate with both colors for Christmas, but I decided to use Gold, for my card color focus.



I used Flourishes "Poinsettia and Pine" image with Flourishes "Paperwhites" sentiment, stamped onto Flourishes Classic White cardstock in gold ink. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the Poinsettia and Pine cut file shape, that I stamped on to and popped up on pop dots. Then I used a punch with a few diecuts, ribbon, a paper doily, and a metallic gold design paper to create and finish my card.

Timeless Tuesday: Mini Cards!

Good morning and welcome back to another Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge! :) This week Broni is our challenge hostess and she is challenging us to create: A Mini Card! All you need to do is create a card that is 3x4 or less! These are always a fun and easy challenge to create!



I used Flourishes "Paperwhites" stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa onto Flourishes Classic Ivory Cardstock, sponged all around with Tea Dye Distress Ink. I used the paper from Flourishes new September's 123 Kit. I added the red ribbon, silver cording and the snowflake charm, also from the September 123 Kit. 

The completed size of my card measures out to be 4 x 3 1/18.

All this month I will be using Flourishes September 123 Create Kit. This kit is a Christmas themed kit and perfect for any cards you will make this year. I love it and it includes a Bo Bunny paper pad, two kinds of ribbon (red and green), silver cording and a green trim, green rhinestones, snowflake charms, and Maya Road Vintage Kraft Flag Pins!! All that in a kit?? You bet!! I'll be showcasing it all month :) Please visit the rest of the team to gather more Flourishes Timeless Tuesday inspirations!

Timeless Tuesday: Christmas in July!!


Good morning Flourishes Friends, it's time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday. We have yet another wonderful Tuesday for you!


Welcome to Flourishes’ Christmas in July sale! Each year around this time, Flourishes kicks off a festive sale that is sure to warm your hearts and get you in the spirit, long before the snow starts to fly! Between now and the 31st of July, all of their Christmas sets will be a whopping 25% off! Just click HERE to see all the fun sets that are on sale! They just got a NEW shipment of stamps to stock up so the Flourishes warehouse is stacked to the brim with Christmas goodies! There are no codes -- all stamp sets are automatically marked down for you!


What a great excuse to start on your Christmas cards, now instead of waiting until the fall, which I have been known to do. This sale is such a great motivator for me too, and after all of our extra special Christmas inspirations, please check out all of the beautiful sets on sale in the Flourishes shop!


This week I made two cards. I just love the "Rejoice" Christmas image, don't you? And since Flourishes is having a Christmas in July sale, this is a perfect time to pick it up! And I love an all white card, so I created a crisp white Christmas card too, with the "Paperwhites" set.


 For my first card I used Flourishes "Rejoice" Christmas set that I watercolored in with the following Flourishes Letraset Aqua Markers: Spring Green, Scarlet, Raspberry, and Rose Carmine. I added some beautiful "Ivory Scalloped Lace Trim" lace and a Flourishes Stick Pin that I colored in with my R29 Copic marker, pinned to my bow.


 For my second Christmas card, I used the sentiment from Flourishes "Paperwhites" that I stamped on Flourishes Classic White paper. For my Spellbinder layers I used "Fancy Tags Three" on top of Spellbinders Labels #18, placed on top of a Spellbinder frame, then I added some pearls to everything.
