Celebrate Under the Big Top with Clear and Simple Stamps

It’s time to introduce the July Stamp of the Month from Clear & Simple Stamps. This month’s set is Circus Fun. This set features several circus themed silhouette images and a variety of sentiments for many occasions. You can use the discount code CSS0710 to get a $1 discount on your purchase of this set during the month of July.

And, along with this stamp set, we’re featuring the Violet 3 Copic Trio this month, which includes V91, V93, and V95. To go with this Trio, we’re introducing a brand new color story, VIP Purple. You’ll be able to get this pale purple in perfectly matching cardstock, ink, ribbon, and buttons. Be sure to stop by the store and check it all out.

I made a fun child’s birthday party invitation to showcase the new stamp set. I created a red and white striped background panel designed to mimic the top of a traditional circus big top. The red and white strips are machine stitched together to add interest, then layered on a black card base.

I combined two of the set’s sentiments on my sentiment panel to form a birthday greeting and accented them with a coordinating chipboard number. After I stamped the sentiment, I ruffled some red ribbon underneath the sentiment panel and attached it to my card.

I’ll have more samples featuring images from this set throughout the month. In the meantime, be sure to visit the rest of the CSS design team to see what they’ve created using the Circus Fun stamp set. We have some new members joining us this month and I’m sure you’ll love what they’ve designed. Here’s where to find them:
