Artistic Outpost January 2017 New Release!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome to the January 2017 Artistic Outpost New Release and Blog Hop!  This month, Artistic Outpost is releasing the new stamp set, The Captain along with the new AO Vagabond Treasures Collection 6x6 Paper and the new AO Steampunk Gears Dies (all available from Our Daily Bread Designs).

I love the vintage seafaring images in the AO The Captain stamp set plus the new AO Steampunk Gears Dies are the perfect complement as well as the fabulous new AO VagabondTreasures Collection 6x6 Paper Pad!  

Masculine cards are sometimes difficult to design but with this January2017 AO Release, the work is almost done for you!

We would love for you to hop along with us (see details below) so I will post more detailed step by step instructions for each card at a later date.

My first card features the AO The Captain stamp set, the AO Vagabond Treasures Paper Collection 6x6 Paper Pad along with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles and Rectangles Dies. 

My second card again features the AO The Captain stamp set, the AO Vagabond Treasures Paper Collection 6x6Paper Pad as well as the new AO Steampunk Gears Dies along with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies.

 I had so much fun playing with the new Artistic Outpost The Captain stamp set, Steampunk Gears Dies and Vagabond Treasures Collection 6x6 Paper Pad and I hope I have inspired you today :-)
