New Releases/Jan Marie’s Samples
Flourishes has come out with 2 new Easter sets — one is an absolutely precious bunny set and the other is a remake of a vintage card with an image of a crosswith a floral overlay– totally fabulous!!! However, sometimes things don’t work as planned, and this is one of those times. The unfortunate part is that these setsdid not arrive in time for the DT to get the setsto make samples for you, but Jan Marie has made a card with each set, and I’d like to share Jan Marie’s gorgeous cards with you here.
This is an ATC that Jan Marie made. Aren’t these just the cutest images!!! The set is called Easter Bunnies by Flourishes. Jan did a fabulous job on thisATC and I just really love how she used the oval Nestability die cut in the background to mimic an egg — what a wonderful idea for an Easter ATC!!! And isn’t that bunny and the little chick just the sweetest!! What a fun set to work with!!! I surely hope mine arrives soon!!!
And look at this gorgeous Easter image and sentiment!!! WOW!!! I love this format for a card and it goes just perfectly with this image!!! There is a very interesting story on how this stamp set, Easter Blessings, came to be. I think you’ll enjoy reading it and seeing the original piece. Just pop on over to Jan’s Blog to read the story.
Please check out Sharon Doolittle’s creation here – it is jaw dropping gorgeous – what an Easter beauty!!!
You can read more about both of these sets at the Flourishes Blog.
You can purchase these sets from the Flourishes store. While you are there, check out the new package of acrylic blocks — I just can’t wait to get these. The largest block in the set is large enough to hold a full sized acrylic background stamp, like Damask and Damask Reverse and Harlequin. Yes!!!! I am so happy about that!!! And coming real soon are the Clear Storage Boxes (I so need those) and the new lines of Basic Grey paper. They will be listed on the store site the moment the truck arrives with them, which is any day now, maybe even later today!!!
That’s it for now!!! Thanks much for checking in!!!!

Sharon – I saw the set earlier on the website….and I knew you would create something beautiful with this set!!! Your card is simply gorgeous!!!
Thanks for sharing these wonderful Easter cards!! Can’t wait to see what you do with them, once you get your hands on them. 🙂
I just love the Easter Blessings set, and your card is beautiful. Bunnies are cute, but that’s not the real meaning of Easter. The long card is perfect for this Easter cross.
How pretty. These are beautiful. The Easter cross card is absolutley awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Joani
These are beautiful, Sharon! I also can’t wait to see what you come up with when you get the set! I LOVE the one with the cross, I do enjoy the sacred Easter images a little more than the cute ones, but I still like the cute ones.
My comment is going to be a little bit off topic – but I just want to thank you for all the ideas and tutorials you share on here! Your work is beautiful! I was inspired this weekend by your scripture box and have started my own and it has truly blessed me to be able to combine creativity with worship. Thank YOU!
That bunny one is too cute and I love the flowers and the cross.
Oh, how cute and beautiful these cards are! I love her work and the stamps. The story is wonderful, TFS
