Stamp of the Month - Clear and Simple Stamps

This is my 2nd post of the day, scroll down to see my My Time to Create Sketch Challenge card.


It's August 1st and that means it's time for another SUPER deal on the Stamp of the Month from Clear and Simple Stamps!! This month's SOTM is A+ Darling! Use the code DTBlog809 to get $1 off at checkout!!

Also available today is this month’s Copic Trio Bundle, Red 2, which includes R20, R24, and R29 — perfect for coloring all those Teacher's Apples! You can purchase the Stamp of the Month along with the Copic Trio Bundle which includes the set of 3 Red 2 Copic Sketch markers for a total of $26 (a savings of $4!!).

And we have another fabulous Template for you to play along with this month - the Apple Basket Template!! I absolutely LOVE this basket! It was really pretty easy to make and I can tell you I'll be making a few of these to take to Dean's preschool teachers as little "Back to School" gifts next week. The baskets are perfectly sized to hold a single large apple, but it's lots of fun to fill them with other Teacher goodies, like I've done:

I used two of the upcoming New Release sets on my little project - Teacher and abc...123 (avail Aug 15) - these 2 sets coordinate perfectly with A+ Darling (avail now) to make the most adorable teacher gifts and back to school cards and gifts!! I created a cute little covered post-it notepad (instruction HERE) and added some basic #2 pencils to the basket along with a stamped tag.

And see that cute little wooden handle that fits the Apple Basket Template perfectly? The handles are now available in the CSS store for purchase as well!!
