I have very fond memories of London. When I was eighteen I used up all my savings to hop over the pond and go visit my sister in London. We had the most wonderful time. We spent two weeks bumming around and I made my sister visit all the tourist sites. (She was there for quite awhile and had already done all the tourist spots) When I saw the new plates from Artistic Outpost I was thrilled as they brought back some wonderful memories for me.
There are two new plates being released today:
London Underground a collection of iconic images of London.

London Underground a collection of iconic images of London.
Loverly London a collection of vintage inspired imagery of idealized London.
There is also a special going on right now. If you spend $42 on rubber stamps, you can save 20%. Simply use the code London at check out!
Here are two of the projects I created using the new stamp sets:
The first one was fun to ink up all the different images and piece them together in a grid card. Of course I had to distress the edges a little. :)
The second project looks so much cooler in real life. I had this lovely paper weight in my collection of alterable items and it actually magnifies the image. The picture is soft around the edges because of the surface being half of a globe.

The design team has created some really fantastic projects and cards which you can go see in the Artistic Outpost Gallery. The design team is also sharing wonderful projects on their blogs:

ReplyDeletea fab set Sue. love what you've done with them. I particularly love "mind the gap" lol.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the old look!
ReplyDeleteAmazing card and your paperweight is just incredible.
ReplyDeleteLove what you've done with these stamps Suzz, I live in London and have not seen any stamps of the city! I made a card for a craft club to say something about where I live and this was the result

ReplyDeleteYou rock...love that dome paper weight. Tally-Ho! which I don't have the foggiest what that means!
ReplyDeleteLove how you pieced all of the images together ... and what a cool paper weight.
ReplyDeleteWay to rock the new release! The images look wonderful pieced together, love all the distressing, fab use of the images for the paperweight!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects today, Sue! I'd love to go back and visit - it's been too many years!
ReplyDeleteLove both these stamps and I especially love your card. Great colors!
ReplyDeletethe variety of images you used on the card are great, but that paperweight looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your card! Great how you used the colors on this card.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed your visit to our capital Sue. These look like two fabulous sets of images and what a change to see London instead of Paris (even though I love images of that city too). I think I may need to add these to my stash.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are totally stunning and I love how you've incorporated the blue and red into your stamping. The distessed edges are great and make it look like a collage made of scraps of fabric.

Nice how you have put all these delicious stamps together!
ReplyDeleteYour grid card is fabulous and the paperweight is awesome. What a great way to use these new stamps.
ReplyDeleteYou card brings back my fond memories of last year's trip to London! I love the colors and distressing that you did!! The use of twines is lovely! I also like the saying" Keep clam and carry on" So British (LOL)!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd come up with something amazing, Suzanne, and you certainly did. I really, really like the paper weight! And your grid card is designed perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLove both the card and the paperweight SuZZ.....Sp perfect!! I have always wanted to go to London...some day....
