Last week, Flourishes look the lid off a whole new FLIP year and you could feel the excitement! We had countless emails and wow – some of you stayed up late – just to be one of the first “Flippers!” Don’t know what FLIP is yet? Well, it’s the Flourishes Loyalty Incentive Program and it’s designed to honor those preferred shoppers who love to take advantage of a good old fashioned deal!

HOW DO YOU QUALIFY?  To qualify is simple. All you have to do is make a $100 purchase (not including shipping or taxes) and you’re a member. You don’t have to sign up. You don’t have to fill out any silly forms. That purchase is your ticket to savings. August is the first month you can qualify and the savings last until next August 1^st, 2012.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS?  When you qualify, you will automatically receive an email once a month (a day or two before the 1^st of the month) which gives you a special member’s only code. This code will give you 15% off anything and everything in the Flourishes store. But, here’s the catch. This sale is held on the 1^st of each month, it lasts only 24 hours and it’s for members only!

So, what’s the buzz about? It’s actually been about this special MEMBER’S ONLY stamp set! Have you seen it?

The only way to get your hands on this beautiful set penned by Marcella Hawley is to become a FLIP member. When you qualify, this stamp set is our gift to you! The set is called With Gratitude and it features two gorgeous wildflowers – a coneflower and a beautiful bell flower. Mix in a handful of sentiments and a fabulously scripted border strip to use as an accent and you have one stunning set!

Wait until you see what some of our designers whipped up using this beauty! They are showcasing it today, just for you!

We’re on the verge of a brand new year for FLIP members! As the 2010-2011 season comes to a close, August 1st starts the qualifying for this fabulous savings program all over again! FYI: if you are currently a FLIP member, you can use your FLIP code today to qualify for the next FLIP year!

The 2011-2012 FLIP Benefits

The program works pretty much the same way as it did for the last 12 months. Starting today, August 1st, when you go on a shopping spree in the Flourishes store and spend $100 on an individual purchase not including shipping or taxes, you will receive our hot off the press stamp set called With Gratitude. It was penned by the ever-so-talented Marcella Hawley and features not only two beautiful wildflowers (a coneflower and bell flower) but a handful of sentiments too. There is even a border sentiment that you could use to create a fabulous background! Want to take a peek?

When you recieve your brand new MEMBER’S ONLY stamp set, you will be a full-fledged member of FLIP for the 2011-2012 year! This is your pass to savings! Once a month, for one day only, we will have a sale you will FLIP over! And ONLY members will be able to cash in with 15% off ANYTHING in the store!

PLEASE NOTE: If you qualify for FLIP on August 1st, there may be a delay in your order being processed. These stamp sets are still coming off the production line as we speak! Also, Jan and Mike are headed to Colorado for a family engagement, so ALL ORDERS may take a little extra time to process. They will be gone from August 2nd through the 8th and will get caught up first thing on the 9th!

She loves to be surrounded by the beautiful art that our customers create and she needs more inspiration! Well after we put out the call – we loved ALL the creations submitted! It was such a hard decision! It was so hard – we have a tie!

We loved the earthy and rustic flair that Gini Cagle used to create this beautiful card using the Strut your Stuff set! We love the color and the one of a kind feel this creation has!

And, we absolutely loved Karen Wallace’s style with this classic easel card using the Dove in Holly set. The color, the layout, everything is perfect!

So, ladies, if you wouldn’t mind sending your cards off to us at 4140 Lyric Lane, Pensacola Florida, 32514, we’ll go ahead and drop a little something in the mail to YOU!
