Artistic Outpost January Release Now Available

The wait is finally over!!! Paris Exposition and Birds of a Feather are here.

Use coupon code Spring2010 at checkout to receive 20% off each of these two new collections purchased together or individually. Note - code expires January 26th.

 

Paris Exposition: Inspired by the Paris Exposition of 1889, for which the famed Eiffel Tower was built, this stamp collection features bold vintage style images including a French version of "What's up?". In French, we translated it to be "Quoi de nuef?" There are several collage elements to this collection which will provide you the flexibility to add multiple layers to your creations.>

Birds of a Feather: Edwardian romanticism inspires this collection of bird images. Included is a perfect ATC background of German text. You will also love the engraving realism to the main bird images. This collection is timeless and seasonless, though we did give you a special sentiment for your springtime projects.

Both collections are available unmounted or pre-cut and mounted on EZMount cling foam.

Be sure to stop by the  Design Team Members Blogs to see what they've created with these new plates

Christmas Ornaments

Who says you need to use Christmas stamps for Christmas ornaments. For this beauty I used the newest images from Jane's Countryside. A rosette die, some crept paper and glass glitter and you have a lovely vintage looking ornament to hang on your tree. Designed my Lynn Stevens.

Just a quick and easy Valentine using the Cutie Pie plate.  The image is stamped in Black Archival on Watercolor paper, colored using the Marker Watercolor Technique.  I used the Standing Pop Up Die from Creative Cuts and More.
