I received an email that Flourishes, the stamping company, was open again for business. I found this website (did not click on the links from the email just in case). Flourishes, lc - Timeless images for today's paper crafter creating with Love & ArtFlourishes, lc
The artwork from A Mother's Hug seems to be amateurish, and the owner's words at the bottom of the page are written in terrible English. I'm worried that it's a scam website and will only steal people's credit card information if they try to buy from it. Anyone know anything about this?
You could contact someone designing for flourishes l.c and ask your question. There are a number of 'senior designers' listed and the most recent blog post was 7/1/2016.
HTH.

I checked the link I have had for some time and that's the site and I did order from it with no problem. So I am inclined to believe it is legit. The owner may be ESL which can show up more in writing than speech with conjucations.
I hope she continues to heal and life gets better for her. If you have concerns, just buy the product from suppliers instead.

No scam -- Jan Marie is re-starting up Flourisheslc. We are slowly but surely getting it out there again. So yeah, it's legit.
There has be talk for awhile that Flourishes was going to come back.
When I received the email from Jan-Marie, I did NOT think this was a scam at all.

Claudette, the Mother's Hug artwork looks to me to be in the style of American Indians, very fluid, which we see a lot here in Oklahoma.
Wavejumper, please what is ESL?
I think she may use voice recognition, or has a difficult time typing.
It has been a rough, drawn-out reboot for them.
That could certainly explain it too. That does sound rough. :(
BTW-I have no negative associations with the term English as a Second Language. To me it's just a tech term.. That was in no way me making a crack. It's so common here in NYC we say it like saying someone has brown hair. With 250 languages being spoken here now....it's a ton of people!
Thanks so much for your replies! I was worried because I had been following their Facebook page and someone commented that it was all a scam and there was a big reaction of people being concerned, wondering whether to believe that person's message or not. I can breathe easy now.
Thank you. They really should put that in the description. I prefer rubber and if I had ordered what I was eyeing, I would have been upset when it came. Thanks for letting me know.
I got the email as well and went to the link. The pictures shown for some previous sets seems to be of poor quality, like a photograph of a rumpled up piece of paper, which makes the site appear to be sketchy (as the teenagers say). I too wondered if it was legitimate.

I may get flamed here, but the Flourishes reboot has me very confused. And it doesn't help that all the links in the posts above are all broken/website down for maintenance. If the company is legit and coming back online why was the facebook page pulled down and the website down?
I've been a long time supporter of Flourishes (and even designed for them for a brief stint) and nothing would make me happier than to see them come back and be successful, but in my opinion, something here is off.

Actually I received the email from Flourishes on June 30th. Website worked then also.

Now it's under construction. Nothing there when you click on the link.
I just clicked on it this morning and it's still under construction. Also all of the stamps are left overs from before. Their clear stamps were always the best quality. I hope they are coming back and have found some new designers for the stamps. Marcella has started her own company now and she was the one that designed the gorgeous flower stamps. Most of hers now are digital which is not my cup of tea. Hope Jan is doing well now, she's a real sweetie!!!

I am not a fan of digitals, either, but she does have over 50 clear stamp sets for sale.
