Sneak Peeks Day 3: Lots of Thoughts!

Well, we’ve arrived at our last day of December New Releases at Flourishes! Haven’t they been true blossoming beauties? Today, we’re pleased to bring you one more! It’s an all occasion set that celebrates some of the most delightful events with wonderful playfulness!

  LotsOfThoughtsGFX 

This stamp set is called Lots of Thoughts for a reason! With six whimsical images illustrated by Marcella Hawley, you have just the right mix of sentiments for birthday, congratulations, thank you and cards of encouragement. It's the perfect set for any and all occasions! Set measures 4" by 6”.

On to my creations -- I have triple the creations to share today! I started because Flourishes is carrying a cute little coin style envelopes! They measure 3-1/8" by 5-1/2". Darling.... right? I see tons of potential!

This picture isn't the best but these envelopes are a very crisp white. And, with that size, I make a card that was 3" by 5-3/8" folded. And... I ended up making a three-card set!

Here's card 1, perfect for birthdays! I stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it all up with Copic Markers. The paper is a mix of Echo Park and Carta Bella (see supply list below). Super easy peasy! 


Love that there is a Silhouette Cut File for these cuties! See the sparkle I added too?


And, you can see I even stamped a little cupcake on the envelope!

 Here's card 2 -- a fun little pick me up card. I call it -- sunshine in an envelope!


Here's a close up!


And here's card 3! I love the paper from Everyday Eclectic with these little clouds! It was perfect for the little plane image -- don't you think?


Here's a closeup! Again.... loving the Silhouette Cut File!


And that, my friends is it! Ideas are blooming plentifully in our design team creations with this sweet set. Remember, while you’re hopping and looking at their creations, don’t forget to try to figure out….
