Clear and Simple Stamps January Release Preview


I now take a moment to interrupt my regularly scheduled calendar-making programming to share a couple of preview projects for tomorrow's BIG Clear and Simple Stamps Release! (I'll be back on Friday with another calendar template and design!)

Tomorrow, Clear and Simple Stamps will be releasing a ton of new products including stamps, dies and embellishments. Today - I've created a couple of projects that will give you a preview of what's to come!

First up, I've got a card that I made using the new Alpha Duo set. The design of this card is something I've seen several times before and I've always wanted to stamp it for myself. The new Alpha Duo set makes it SUPER easy to line up the letters so that they're even. 


I had no problem lining up the letters for this card and I love that the set contains outlined and solid images. I was able to combine both to spell out a special sentiment amongst the letters! To add a little something extra to the design, I stamped a sentiment from Love Cupid that coordinates perfectly with the little red heart die cut. 

Oh! And while I'm talking about that little heart, you should know that it's a super versatile little die that's included in the Build-A-Critter Owl/Kitty Die Collection. You'll be bowled over in love with these little critters when you see them tomorrow.

Now for another simple and adorable project using another set from our January release. The Taglines: Critter set contains miniature versions of each critter that fit perfectly on the previously released Taglines set. 

For my project, I used the tiniest critter stamps to create a punny set of mini-card. With so many sentiment options in this month's release, it was really easy to make these little cards.

For each card, I used the image as a "stand-in" for part of the sentiment! I'm loving the finished product...






Come back tomorrow for a great release day - this is going to be one of the best ever!!!

Adios amigos - see you tomorrow for more CSS goodness!

  4. Are each of those letters individual stamps? These cards look awesome. You can also stick with your 1920s slang and make one that says "you're the bee's knees" .. just a thought :)
