Across the Miles with Clear and Simple Stamps

It’s time to introduce the August Stamp of the Month from Clear & Simple Stamps. This month’s set is Across the Miles. This set features several travel themed images and a variety of fun sentiments for many occasions. You can use the discount code CSS0810 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 Copic Trio Bundle Blue Trio 3 Trio this month, which includes B21, B24, and B29. To go with this Trio, we’re introducing a brand new color story, Trendsetter Blue. You’ll be able to get this pale blue in perfectly matching cardstock, ink, ribbon, and buttons. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite colors—I just love shades of blue! Be sure to stop by the store and check it all out.

Here’s a simple and sweet sample featuring both the new images and the new Trendsetter Blue color. I used a cloud patterned paper as the backdrop for the set’s hot air balloon image. The balloon is colored in shades of red to pop against the background. It’s attached to the panel with foam tape.

I ran a strip of pretty white faux suede ribbon with a ruffled edge down the left side of the patterned paper. At the bottom, I clustered a red felt heart and a blue button as accents. The set’s “love is in the air” sentiment is stamped beneath the patterned paper panel in red ink. Adorable—and exactly what I saw in my mind as I was planning this card. Love when that happens!

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 Across the Miles stamp set. Here’s where to find them:
