Thank you so much for joining me again today as I reveal more of what’s to come for our first ever product release! Just a reminder, the store portion of our website will open at 10am ET on Friday, April 26th and all of our new products will be available for purchase!
We’re revealing two more sets from our very first collection today!
Fleur Impressions
The first set is called Fleur Impressions. Bring the look of watercolored flowers to your projects without picking up a paintbrush! The Fleur Impressions stamp set was adapted directly from watercolored images. You’ll love watching these images come to life through stamps and ink. Have fun playing with color on the multi-step blooms. Create beautiful one-layer cards, or pair these images with the matching Fleur Impressions dies to create dramatic layered bouquets. This set is one you’ll reach for again and again for beautiful, elegant projects!
Comforting Commands
The second set being showcased today is called Comforting Commands. The Comforting Commands set is perfect for those occasions when finding the right words can be difficult. There are four main sentiments, and a smaller companion sentiment for each, perfect for stamping on the inside of a card. An optional scripture reference stamp has been included for each of the main sentiments. Three of the sentiments in the set can be used to send comfort or encouragement, while the fourth in the set is more celebratory, perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and so much more!
- Fleur Impressions stamp set – $18
- Fleur Impressions die – $18
- Comforting Commands stamp set – $15
- Comforting Commands die – $23
I’m so excited to share my projects using these new sets, as well as what today’s special guests have created! So let’s get to it…
My first card takes a little different approach to using a floral set. I typically use the different flowers to build bouquets and clusters. For this card I decided to create an all-over design to cover my entire card front using the Fleur Impressions set! I love stamping multi-step images using my stamp positioning tool. I set it up and just stamp away using all sorts of different colors. After spending most of an afternoon doing that, I had a whole pile of gorgeous color! I had fun arranging several of those onto this card front, and then topping it off with the “let us rejoice…” sentiment from the Comforting Commands set. The inside is finished with a few more blooms and one of the smaller coordinating sentiments from the Comforting Commands set. Wouldn’t it make a perfect wedding card?!
My next card uses the Fir & Foliage No. 1 trees that were introduced yesterday along with some ink blending to create a dramatic sunset. I omitted the solid base layer for the tree-tops and only stamped the middle step to give the trees an airier look. They were inked with mostly black ink, but the edges of the tree stamp were sponged with some orange to mimic the way a sunset can set the trees ablaze. The hill at the base was done using the solid portion of the Pathway stencil that was showcased yesterday. I added some white ink splatters to look like stars, and finished it off with this perfect sentiment from the Comforting Commands set. The inside was sponged with the same inks, and stamped with the complementary sentiment from the Comforting Commands set.
As you can see, the Fleur Impressions set is perfect for creating pretty bouquets, too! This card came together so easily. I love the way the large peonies on this one turned out. They were stamped using Distress Oxide inks in shades of yellow, orange, pink, and coral. I like to apply the ink with sponges so that I can blend it directly on the stamp before stamping it. Once again the inside is finished off with a smaller sentiment from the set and a few more blooms.
The smaller flowers and leaves from the Fleur Impressions set can be used to create pretty wreaths, too. Here I created a wreath of diecuts around the pretty sentiment from the Comforting Commands set. I stamped leaves in various shades of green all the way around the edges of the card front as well.

[…] back to Day 2 of The Greetery Launch Week! My heart is full from reading all your comments from yesterday’s post. I am so […]
I don’t go anywhere on April 26 at 10am…I need to have this set. My eldest girl is named Fleur, so Fleur Impressions is what I need. 🙂 Betsy, you are so talented! You did a fabulous job on your first release and I know for sure there will be many more beautiful stamp sets and dies to come in the future. Love from the Netherlands, Ingrid
The florals are stunning! The cards just are so gorgeous and the colors perfect. Can’t wait to get my hands on this release!
Betsy,these flowers and sentiments are just stunning! So artistic and perfect!
Hi Betsy ! I LOVE your Fleur Impressions! I especially love that they include larger blooms and smaller ones too, making this so versatile. And without actual watercolors, I can still create the look & feel. ❤️ Your designs are amazing and oh- so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing Comforting Commands with many beautiful verses! One Question— if you can find the time? Which blending brushes do you use on your stamps & paper. Thank you Betsy, for an AMAZING release! 😊
Great start to an incredible release! So many good things ahead too….I think I may be in trouble!
“OOH THE FLEUR IMPRESSION IS SO VERSATILE. I’M LOVING IT. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE MORE DESIGNS IN THE FUTURE. “
Oh, Betsy, this flower set is stunning! I love multi-step stamping! I thought oxide inks were for techniques and never have thought to use them for stamping. The colors on your flowers are so vivid and bright. I’m certainly going to try it. The sentiment set is lovely too.
Love the ease of watercoloring with your Fleur Impressions set. It will be a MUST HAVE! Love the variety of large and small flower especially for the wreath. Just love it all!
This whole release is so beautiful and calming. I love it and love the way the sets all work together. Good luck in your new endeavor. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more great things to come!
Love these florals and all the beautiful colours!
The flower set is lovely. The design team did a great job displaying the variety of looks using different color ink. Gorgeous.
Love this whole set but want to comment on one tiny part. The inside of your Pray Without Ceasing card is wonderful! The bright splash of sunshine holds in its ‘hand’ the warmth of the words.. Can’t say enough about the warmth it provides almost like a little surprise inside.
These are so awesome Betsy! I love it all today!
These new sets are perfect! The sayings can be used for a multitude of occasions, which just adds to their value. The flowers….. oh the flowers…… I’m in love with them. The colors you used are fabulous and bring out all the details. Thank you for sharing and a chance to win!
Comforting Commands is by far my favorite. I can see so many folks appreciating these wonderful ‘commands and comforting them with a card such as these.
The flowers are absolutely gorgeous. The sentiments perfect.
Wow! Those flowers are gorgeous! I love the Scripture set as well!
Again, thank you for including beautiful faith based sentiments in your collection. I never tire of your florals, so today, yet again, you have knocked it out of the park.
Wow! These florals are amazing. It’s so anaIng how you’ve given us all the ability to watercolour just a little bit like you with these stamps !!
What a beautiful stamp! Looking forward to adding this one in the near future! Love your Colors also!
The florals are gorgeous!!
Betsy, I literally took a breath at Comforting Commands! The font is so beautiful and the addition of the small words to use either with the large sentiment or inside is so perfect. That set will be ever present on my desk.
Wow your cards are beautiful! The flowers are so pretty and I love the sentiment set!
Love this new watercolor-like stamp set, Fleur Impressions! Want this for my stash.
Love the Scripture verses!
The flowers a beautiful. And the sentiments set is definitely a must have! Love seeing the insides of the cards too. So creative!
These are absolutely stunning–the cards and the stamps! Can’t wait to see what else you come up with!
The watercolor like flowers are just gorgeous!
I got up early to reconcile my checkbook. Glad I checked my email first! What a beautiful way to meet the morning – soooo much better than meeting my checking account. Which, coincidentally, will be zeroed out shortly after your release!
I have so many floral stamp sets and Christian sentiment sets that I told myself I really don’t need any more. But your new sets are absolutely amazing!! Looking like I do need more after all. Love the outside and inside sentiments. I’m currently working on a card with Be Still stamp on the front but it’s too small so I am trying to figure out how to make it look balanced. Solution, wait and buy this new set
Love, love, love the Comforting Commands stamp set! Your card that used the Fir & Foliage stamps is absolutely stunning! Best wishes on the success of your new company!
Does my heart good to see your beautifully designed floral images again…so, so pretty.
I love your wonderful ideas and how everything fits together and works together.
I love layering stamps and flowers are so perfect. I don’t know which inks you are using but they are perfect for these flowers. Love them too!!!
As always your florals are beautiful. Love all the cards showcasing different ways that the stamps can be used. Can’t wait to try them for myself. So excited for you in your new venture!
Oh!! I’m in so much trouble… absolutely love all the sets so far!!
These florals are stunning! You captured the loose watercolor feel perfectly, and I love the sentiment set! I always get my MIL a scripture sentiment set for Christmas….I’m thinking this might be the one for this year!
This set just gets more wonderful and beautiful with each card I see. These flowers are really fabulous!
Gorgeous Florals!!!! Can’t wait to see more!
Question- What is your angel policy?
I like to make cards and sell them on Etsy. I hope you allow us to sell items with your new brand so then I can buy more and use more 🙂 I know, subtle aren’t I-lol.
Our full Angel Policy will be available for you to check out when our store goes live on Friday, but yes, you can use our images on products that you sell, with just a few of the typical guidelines in place (that they be done by hand and that you’re selling a finished product such as a card, etc)
YAHOO!!!! Thank you so much for your quick reply! And thank you so much for letting us sell our crafts. I really appreciate that! I am going to need a third job, I can already tell I want to buy everything you make! Thanks again and hope you have a terrific day!
Gorgeous Fleurs! Can’t wait to try them in lots of colors. So thrilled about this release.
Those flowers are GORGEOUS! I can’t wait to get them! And thanks so much for continuing to produce faith based stamps! I use them so much on my cards!
Everything is beautiful. I love the sentiments and the multi-layer flowers.
Your new floral images are so pretty! Love your ink blending behind Comforting Commands-perfect background colors.
The flowers are absolutely gorgeous, Betsy! Love the way you used the smaller images to frame the sentiment on the one card!
Two more gorgeous sets! Can’t wait for Friday!
Betsy!!!! You must be so proud- they are so beautiful and the sentiments so usable! The designers made them look so different and unique. I am so thrilled for you and can not wait for Friday!!
Your card samples are so fresh and bright yet with a soft touch. Such a welcome to spring! The sentiments are fantastic! For your first card – I would love to know what inks you used. Thanks for the inspiration!
I used Distress Oxides! I know…they’re not the first inks you’d go-to for multi-step stamps, but I love how vibrant the colors are. I’ll put together a video in the coming weeks using the Oxides for stamping. 🙂
LOve the stamps..and your cards..love all things flower and nature…
Love these florals so much and Comforting Commamds will be a staple in my stamp collection!!
