Introducing Icons I from Clear and Simple Stamps

It’s time to introduce the December Stamp of the Month from Clear & Simple Stamps. This month’s set is Icons I. This set features a collection of bold block images that are perfect for many occasions. You can use the discount code CSS1210 to get a $1 discount on your purchase of this set during the month of December. You’ll also want to check out the new Icons Extras set. This set’s full of words and phrases you can mix and match to go along with the images in Icons I (or with lots of other sets).

And, along with this stamp set, we’re featuring the Copic Trio Bundle Green Trio 3 this month, which includes G21, G24, and G28. To go with this Trio, we’re introducing a brand new color story, Emerald Bling. You’ll be able to get this beautiful deep green shade in perfectly matching cardstock, ink (and reinker), ribbon, and buttons. Be sure to stop by the store and check it all out.

Here’s a seasonal card featuring the new sets. I used the snowflake image as the focal point. It’s stamped in A Blanc Check ink on True Blue Fan cardstock. I cut the block out and added a clear crystal to the center for some sparkle. The image is layered on a die cut kraft tag using foam tape. I looped some Trendsetter Blue satin ribbon through the hole at the top of the tag and secured it with a little silver cord.

The tag is set on a True Blue Fan panel embossed with a snowflake pattern. After attaching the embossed panel to a Trendsetter Blue card base, I stamped the “warm winter wishes” sentiment from the coordinating Icons Extras stamp set beneath it in matching True Blue Fan ink.

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 Icons I stamp set. Here’s where to find them:
