The Flourishes August Release is HERE!

Hi all! I hope you've enjoyed this week's peeks and I am excited to say that all of the stamp sets that we've been showing off this week are in the Flourishes Store HERE! Flourishes also has some exciting news to share as well -- for three out of the four sets, there is a Silhouette Cut File available as well! These files made exclusively for the Silhouette Cameo offer the ability to custom cut images from the Garden Picks, Autumn Blossoms and With Gratitude stamp sets. Keep reading to learn more! Or, click HERE to visit these files in the Flourishes store!

On to today's last stamp set to be unveiled! It's one that pays homage to the beautiful blossoms of fall!

Part of The Blossoms Collection, this beautiful array of autumn blossoms illustrated by Marcella Hawley features a bouquet, corner stamps, and pieces to create your own borders or frames. Add in a trio of all occasion sentiments and you have the perfect set to create cards for every day correspondence. FYI: This set is the perfect companion to sister sets Happily Ever After SS199 and Letters in Blossom SS198. If you like this set, you might also like our Summer Blossoms set as well featuring summer florals!

On to my creation!

I had created a bunch of these card bases when I created THIS card and thought -- hey -- why not? It made creating this one easy peasy! I started by stamping the two corners from the Autumn Blossoms set on a 2-3/4" by 2-3/4" piece of Flourishes Classic White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Then, I picked up a TON of Copic markers and choose from these color collections:

From there... I added a strip of green decorative paper, a scalloped edge some deep red seam binding, and if you look in the corner, you can see I added a brad.It was originally a mustard color one that I changed to a rusty red with the help of a Copic marker -- fun huh?

Here's a close up!

As I mentioned earlier, this set does have a companion cut file that you can use with your Silhouette Electronic Cutter. This digital download is purchased from the store and upon completion of your order, you'll receive a link to download your Silhouette Cameo file. This file will only work using the Silhouette Cameo and the Silhouette Studio Software. This file offers cut file for all stamp images excluding sentiments. And the good news? While Flourishes only has a handful of cut files available now - in the future some of your favorite sets will have companion cut files!
