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.

Oh my yes…. your new floral set is awesome! Love the variety of images included and the beautiful texture the layering stamps create. The sentiment set is also exceptional… beautiful fonts and lovely selection of heart-felt statements… a must have!
The projects are all fabulous, Betsy! Such lovey work by all.
Gorgeous new floral set. And beautiful cards.
Gorgeous florals and thoughtful sentiments! So well thought out.
Just beautiful, Betsy. I have a weakness for florals, especially layered ones, and these images are so perfect size wise for me. I will not miss the next few days.
The flowers are so pretty and I love the colors you used.
Wonderful choices for Comforting Commands.
This is such an amazing set! I am so excited for the launch of your company!
simply stunning!
What caught my eye was the color mixtures of distressed oxide inks on the flowers! I don’t have the scriptures in the Soothing Sentiments. For sure I will buy them. Such a nice addition to all the scriptures you designed for Papertrey! Love both sets; but I love all your new stamps!
Oh my, the sentiments are wonderful and the flowers are stunning.
Love, love, love the floral stamps!
Absolutely love the look of watercolor flowers, and the new Fleur Impressions stamps will certainly make beautiful floral bouquets!
Absolutely stunning
Betsy, Your florals are always amazing, but I am thrilled the faith based stamps are here to stay. Thank you for continuing to represent this part of the community.
Such beautiful samples! Two great sets!
I can’t believe how artsy that layering stamp looks. Can’t wait to get my inky hands on that set!

Betsy, I love your florals showcased today!! Especially the scattered all over the page with the beautiful fonts scripture layered over. Just beautiful!
Beautiful floral images! I love how you’ve taken the smaller ones plus the leaves to create the wreath card. I like that the insides of your cards are finished off, as well.
I love your watercolors and it’s fantastic to see these loving sentiments. It’s wonderful to see your creations continuing in the creative world.
Beautiful, sweet and delicate florals. Love them!
Your Fleur Impressions set is a must have. Your examples using Distress Oxides are stunning! The florals accompanied by the Comforting Commands set will make beautiful cards. I can do this!
These are my favorite so far! As a Pastor’s wife these would be perfect for me to use on the cards I send out to the ladies in our church!
Both of these sets are gorgeous, as well as the cards you made with them!
So gorgeous!
I’m so excited about the florals stamp set! I love the look of watercolored flowers and this one is beautiful.
Comforting Commands is Awesome!

Happy there are dies too!
Verses are perfect & encouraging!!
These flower stamps are beautiful and I LOVE the Comforting Commands stamps and dies! Beautiful cards!! Looking forward to seeing all the new products!!
Simply stunning! The flowers are gorgeous, but I’m really drawn to the scripture sentiments. I love the different fonts/sizes and the mix and match ability within a single set. With the desire to express our hearts through our faith, this set embodies the scripture with the flourish of beauty to add thoughtfulness and wisdom to cards sent to loved ones.
Love the flowers and the comforting commands!
Your florals are so pretty!
Love love love your flowers and the awesome sentiments! These are just gorgeous!
I am so excited that you have not left the stamping world! I am a collector of scripture sets, and am so happy to see these! Thank you! I also love the watercolor set … I cannot watercolor, so having stamps that do the job is tempting! I hope to see more scriptures, especially verses that aren’t the more typical ones found on most stamp sites.
Beautiful cards! So many versatile ways to use these stamps.
The new florals are fabulous! I didn’t think I needed any more floral sets, but clearly I was wrong!
Fabulous cards. the shading behind the
trees in the second card is fantastic.
Fits in with the sentiment so well.
thanks for sharing
