Celebrate with Clear and Simple Stamps

With the year starting to wind down, everyone’s mind is turning to celebrations—and Clear and Simple Stamps is no different. Between now and the end of the year, every customer who makes an online purchase at CSS will receive a free “celebrate the season” stamp (shown above).


If you purchase over $100, you’ll receive the limited edition Let’s Celebrate stamp set. The great mix of fonts and sentiments makes this a great year round set. The CSS design team has created projects to showcasing this versatile set.

I went for a super clean and simple design for this card that can be used for any number of occasions. I cut cardstock strips in a rainbow array of colors and arranged them on a white panel, leaving room between two of the strips to stamp the “celebrate” sentiment in Perfect Little Black Dress ink.

I attached a strip of CSS’s Simple Adhesive along the right side of the cardstock strips, then sprinkled glitter over the exposed adhesive for a fun sparkle. I layered the panel on a black mat, then set it on a white card base. It’s clean and simple, but fun and eye-catching at the same time.

I’ll have more samples featuring the sentiments from this set and giving you some ideas for how it coordinates with other CSS sets 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 Let’s Celebrate stamp set. Here’s where to find them:

  1. Love the CAS look of this card and I'm thinking I have a TON of scraps this would work perfectly with using up.

  2. Love the color blocking you did here Lori- it really makes the sentiment pop.
