Collection 3 Release at Clear and Simple Stamps

Today is release day at Clear and Simple Stamps! Collection 3’s filled with a bunch of great images, sentiments, and dies—and even CSS’s very first Imprints plate! I used the new Butterfly Garden 1 set and coordinating butterfly die on my card. I love the mix of solid images and fabulous patterns for the butterflies! If you can’t get enough of butterflies, there’s another set full of them with its own matching dies, too.

 I went for a girly look on my card using a pink card base with a strip of floral patterned paper along one side. I stamped one of the set’s text print butterflies in Paint the Town Pink ink on an I’m a Princess Pink die cut butterfly as my focal image. It’s set on an oval panel that I stamped with the set’s “imagine the possibilities” sentiment in the same pink ink. For a final girly touch, I added a clear crystal flourish extending from behind the butterfly to make a flight trail.

 I’ll have more samples featuring the stamps and coordinating dies from Collection 3 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 latest releases. Here’s where to find them:
