January: New Year, New Products

INTRODUCING LITTLE CRITTERS by Amber Daigre

Happy 2012 Style Watchers!

Welcome to a new year of amazing product from Clear and Simple Stamps. This year, you will find tons of new and inspiring changes at CSS, and you are going to love each of them!

The first change, which you may have already noticed, is that we are now releasing new product on the 5th (rather than the first), and releases will occur bi-monthly. With this comes another fab change, a huge selection of amazing product being released. For the month’s of January and February, we’ve got TONS…and I mean TONS of stamps, dies and embellishments to show you!

To kick off this new year and new release format, I am going to share a project using one of our newest additions to the CSS product line: Little Critters.

The Little Critter product line includes large and small stamps, coordinating sentiments and …wait for it…an ENTIRE series of die cuts that allow you to build your own adorable critter!

We’ve got sweet bumble bees, sneaky raccoons, sly foxes, wise owls and so much more! I’ve created a trio of critter cuties that are perfect for Valentine’s Day! You’ll love how easy and fun it is to be creative with these new dies!

Be sure to head over to my blog, Damask Love for even more photos of this project along with several tips on getting the most out of your critter dies…

Until later Loverlies – Amber D.
