Clear and Simple Stamps December Release Day

I try to avoid cliches like, "This year flew by!" With that said - I have one thing that I've gotta say: This year flew by!



Here we are in December and 2012 is just around the corner. As we prepare for the new year, it's a great time to reflect on the year gone by and the months of memories, fun times and trends. As Style Watch Editor, I'm taking this month to do just that!



This month, I'll be taking the chance to review a few trends that took over the paper crafting world and showing off some projects that pay homage to those fabulous, popular themes with a few of my favorite CSS stamps. 

With each project, I'll also showcase our special limited edition sentiment set that is only available with purchase, as we are celebrating "you" with a special gift during our Customer Appreciation Month.



Mustaches were definitely one of this year's hottest trends in card making! Grab your favorite papercrafting publication, and you're sure to find mustache images!



Today's cards give a little shout out to the mighty mustache with sentiments that are perfect for birthday, retirement or a quick "just because" card...

Until Later Loverlies,
Amber
