Introducing House Notes II

It’s time to introduce the August Stamp of the Month from Clear & Simple Stamps. This month’s set is House Notes II—a home goods themed set that includes trendy chair and sofa images and a variety of coordinating sentiments. It coordinates perfectly with the previously released House Notes set, too.

Here’s a clean and simple card in a classic cream, red, and brown color scheme showing off the set’s chair image. For a wood-like look, I stamped the chair on kraft cardstock in brown ink and cut it out. The chair is set on a fancy shaped die cut panel using foam tape. I stamped the “miss you” sentiment from the Tweet Notes set at the end of a banner-end strip in red ink and set the strip underneath the chair to ground it. The other end of the banner strip is covered with a small brown felt heart and accented with a red button tied with baker’s twine. The whole piece is set on a red card base.

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 House Notes II stamp set. Here’s where to find them:
