Artistic Outpost is releasing three new stamp sets today.
First up is Typography ... words & quotes are my favorite ... this set has so many great ones with a great mix of fonts ... and so fun to combine with the many wonderful Artistic Outpost images. From Mark Twain to Winnie the Pooh to Bob Marley, this collection of unique sayings and sentiments includes our favorite quotes from some of our favorite artists and characters. Stamp sheet measures 8.5" x 5.5". Stamps are available as an unmounted sheet of red rubber or pre-trimmed and mounted on EZMount cling foam (my favorite way to get them).
I combined this quote with the phone book image from Artistic Outpost's Adventure with the Neutrals with a Pop color palette from this week's Our Creative Corner challenge.
The second set is called Whimsical Melange ... Designed as background and embellishment images, this collection features whimsical frames sized perfectly for cards and ATCs as well as unique scrollwork, pennants in two sizes, and other whimsical bits. Mix and match these stamps with our other collections to add a touch of something special and unique to all your projects.
My first card uses images from this set together with a quote from Typography, Authentique Designer papers, and this week's CardPatterns Sketch.
Here is one more masculine card I made combining both sets together with more Authentique papers. This one is for the Back to School challenge at Sentimental Sundays ... good advice for any student (or any one) starting off on a new adventure.
I only designed with two sets for this release, but there is also a third set called A Favorite Book with lots of reading-themed images and quotes. Featuring vintage images of children reading, this collection provides focal images of something we wish children would do more of....slowing down, being quiet, and enjoying a good book. Images are designed with our other Artistic Outpost background collections in mind, such as Ephemeral Backgrounds and Whimsical Melange.
You can see galleries filled with cards for each set on the Artistic Outpost website.
Make sure you stop by the blogs of the other Artistic Outpost Design Team Members to see more great samples using these new stamps.
I love how you combined the Typogaphy sentiment with the cat waiting by the phone....great work!

Seriously - my favorite is the dog calling their friend to tell them it's going to be all right. Isn't that something that our "best friend" would totally do??? Beautiful artwork, Stephanie!

Beautiful! Your cards are always so wonderful!
I was wondering...how do you store and keep track of all of your gorgeous stamps? I love your posts about your studio and you share some great storage ideas. I just wondered if you turn over your collection regularly or if you have some system...

Great variety in your cards. The DP really accentuates the stamps. Love the use of the dog by the telephone combined with that sentiment. Wonderful cards.
