This month marks Artistic Outpost's second birthday!

It's amazing how much can change in a mere two years. Artistic Outpost has grown from just 8 stamp collections to over 30. We have made friends around the globe from South Africa to Japan, from Maine to California, and we continue to be inspired by our fellow artists and customers.

To celebrate our birthday, we are having our own one day sale just like the big stores.

Well, actually it's a FOUR day sale. From now until October 18th, we are offering 25%* off your entire purchase. Remember, you get free US shipping for all orders over $50, and international free shipping over $150.

Use coupon code "birthday2009" at checkout to receive our discount. Hurry! This sale is only good through October 18th.

*Does not include EZ Mount cling foam sheets or multi-packs.

Also new to the store - Neenah and Kromekote card stock

Be sure to check out the great deals we have on Neenah Classic Crest and Kromekote card stock. These are our very favorite stamping papers, and we know you'll love the superior image quality you get from using both the Neenah Classic Crest smooth uncoated paper and Kromekote coated super glossy card stock.

I don't have a new project to show you today so I'll share one of my favorites. Gingersnap Creations 19: Spicy Supply Challenge - Chipboard. I painted my cardstock and chipboard with acrylic paints. The butterfly, which is from Artistic Outpost - Happiness, is stamped on glossy with alcohol inks.
