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.

Love the look of your flowers. You need to make a video to show how you ink up your stamps with those beautiful colors. You said you sponged it on?
Wow! These are just lovely. The Fleur Impressions is one of the most beautiful sets I have ever seen, and I can’t wait to get my hands on this set. Saturday is my birthday guess what I’m buying myself?

There are no words to express how wonderful it is to see your gorgeous creations. God’s blessings on all the “work of your hands!!”
Telling myself I don’t need more flower stamps but they are so pretty. Wonderful sentiment set too.
I love the look of the oxide inks on the flowers. I have not yet tried any of these.
Oh Betsy….those flowers are just so lovely. Well done.
Betsy, I love the new multi-step flower set…you’ve taken the guesswork out of trying to do a pretty watercolored flower for those of us who aren’t quite as talented with watercolor as you are! This is an exciting addition to your new release.
Congratulations Betsy on this new journey! What a great set of stamps and dies. I love the pretty floral images with the layers! So, so pretty! The greeting set is awesome!
Every word expressed by designers you have worked with, crafters and friends who follow you and all who love the woman you are, are my sentiments also. I cannot wait to create with your lovely products!
Love this flowers and the colors.
So much to love here. The florals are beautiful and I. Love the scripture sentiments. I do a lot of cards for the elderly at my church. Also I send out a fair amount of sympathy cards and get well cards. These sentiments offer real encouragement. Thanks Betsy for your insight and inspiration.
I’m loving everything about this release! The projects are stunning, and the products are wonderful!

You know, I can’t buy everything, right??? I have to have these flowers and sentiments! Now, what to do???
I love how unique that flower stamp is and how awesome that technique of sponging the ink onto the stamp. I have to try that. I love the sentiment verses. There isnt anything like that out there.
What gorgeous work!
Fleur Impressions is just lovely, Betsy! Your cards truly inspire me! I’m so grateful for your tip about blending the Distress Oxides directly on the stamp. We are all celebrating with you this week, Betsy! 💗

The comfortin commands are a gorgeous addition to these as well but also to any card! Lovely job and Thank you so much for sharing!
Another lovely post. Your friends are doing a great job showcasing variety, using your stamps. My favorite of yours is the one that has the leaves bordering the edges.

Oh my, that Fleur Impressions set is a must have. Beautiful cards. Again, congrats on your new launching of your company.
Lovely cards. The flower set is very nice.
Each of your cards is GORGEOUS!!! I love how versatile these two stamp sets are. I hope you have future stamp sets with more ‘Comforting Commands’ or other Bible verses. And of course more water color flowers too!
