New Kitchen Sink Stamps Project of the Month!

Good morning friends! I'm back from a super fun weekend of Stamping Around Connecticut and am excited to share my project with you! I will post more on the event later, but I has so excited to get to teach a class sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps! The project that we made for the class is my Project of the Month for KSS and I'll be sharing another variation of it with you next week - stay tuned! :)

Last week KSS released 7 new sets, each one as beautiful as can be. The Multi-Step Berries set just screams summer so I came up with this fun little set of stamped wooden blocks.

I purchased my unfinished blocks HERE (I bought the 2" blocks) and started by painting them white with craft paint (oh what fun my girls and I had painting around 60 blocks before going to CT! :)).

Here are the steps & inks (all SU!) I used for each block.

Blackberry block:

1. Elegant Eggplant (stamped off 2x)
2. Perfect Plum
3. Elegant Eggplant

Leaves:

1. Kiwi Kiss (stamped off)
2. Kiwi Kiss
3. Old Olive

Strawberry Block:

1. Riding Hood Red (stamped off 2x)
2. Real Red
3. Riding Hood Red
4. Cranberry Crisp

Leaves:

1. Kiwi Kiss (stamped off)
2. Kiwi Kiss
3. Old Olive


Blueberry block:

1. Brocade Blue (stamped off)
2. Brocade Blue
3. Ballet Blue
4. Night of Navy

Leaves:

1. Kiwi Kiss
2. Old Olive

I hope you can give these a try - the blocks are so much fun to stamp and the possibilites with these gorgeous stamps are endless!! If you do try them, please let me know, end me an email or a link! Remember if you order using my code JULIE10KSS you will receive 10% off your order!

Please visit the other KSS Crew Members and see what fun projects they have and have a wonderful day!!

Julie, I absolutely loved this project! It came out so cute and looks so much harder than it actually was. Your class was awesome! I think I'm going to miss Vermont, but I'm hoping to make it to Philly in November.

I just loved making this fun project Julie! it was so amazing how the 3 dimension would suddenly appear as you were stamping the 3 overlay steps - the blocks are now proudly sitting on my entertainment center in my living room for all to see!

I had such a great time at the Stamping Around weekend with you guys - thanks SO much for inviting me to teach at it!

can't wait to see what we are creating in VT in Sept!

Wow Jules...these are amazing!!! So wishing you had a fun event going on next month!! :-) Those berries are gorgeous, and as a native Mainiac, I think that set should be required for everyone who claims Maine as their home!!! :-)
