Clear and Simple Stamps Release Week: By the Glass

Hi there everyone!

Today marks the beginning of Clear and Simple Stamps release festivities. Typically, you find my CSS projects on the weekend Style Watch posts, but when I saw all the fun stuff included in this release, I had too many project ideas to just confine them to Saturdays.

So, today I'm sharing a couple of cards created with the super cute By the Glass stamp collection.

I don't know about you, but there are just some days when you need to relax with a glass of wine or a stiff martini (with a blue cheese stuffed olive, please)!

These stamps are all about the love of cocktails, mocktails and more - and they are definitely a welcome addition to my stamping collection. Honestly, I've been on the hunt for images like these FOREVER! They are perfect for invitations, birthday cards and more.

Enough blabbing - how's about a couple of cards using By The Glass and By The Glass Sentiments:




First up, I kept it simple and whimsical! I stamped the sentiment using Engraved Alphabet and added a bit of texture by placing Glossy Accents in the glass to make things a little more realistic!

For my next card, I went with whimsy once again and paired the champagne glass image with die cut letters from the Lowercase Alphabet Die Collection.   The rest of the sentiment was stamped using By the Glass Sentiments, which includes a TON of really clever and useable sentiments for all sorts of projects.

Ready for more? Well you can make a visit to the blogs of several other CSS design team members to get even more cocktail inspiration!
