Herd the News?

Today is Release Day at Kitchen Sink Stamps!! YEA! There are 3 awesome news sets to love. The "official" release isn't until tomorrow but if you may remember Maria gives our loyal blog readers the chance to order a day early - today!  And for today (Monday) only, free shipping will apply to purchases of $45 (US only and before any discounts).  Remember you can always use coupon code JULIE10KSS to receive 10% off your purchases at Kitchen Sink Stamps.

The 3 sets releasing today are:

Multi-Step Ivy
Multi-Step Lil' Elephant
Multi-Step Ribbons with a Cause - this is the set I previewed on Saturday in this card (I used a white paint pen to draw in the stars and stripes on my ribbon).  We're very excited to let you know that with the purchase of every Multi Step Ribbons with a Cause stamp set, 15% of the proceeds will be donated to a different noteworthy charity every month. For more information about "Ribbons with a Cause Giving Back" program, please go HERE. And for a list of the monthly charities, go HERE

Today I used Multi-Step Lil' Elephant, what a cute, cute little baby elephant this is!  And I just love all the adorable sentiments that come with the set  - this one cracks me up!  You may also notice that all the sentiments use the same font and size as a few other sets, Multi-Step Kittens & Pup, Multi-Step Ducks & Pig and Multi-Step Little Lambs.  I used mine today to make a baby card - well, I suppose you could use it for other news too!


I stamped my elephant as follows:
Step 4 - Raspberry Fizz, Step 3 - Hibiscus Burst (Papertrey Ink), Step 2- Angel Pink (2 times), Step 1 - Angel Pink (Memento)

I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge 90 for the layout and a fun brighter pink tone.  I made a blue one also so maybe I share him in the future - I can just imagine a long line of colored elephants "marching" across a card or framed artwork.  What a fun idea!

Please be sure to visit the rest of the KSS Crew today - they will all have wonderful samples made with the new sets!  They you can head over to the new storefront at Kitchen Sink Stamps and check them out!  Have a great Monday my friends!
