Kazan's Sketch 33 & Guest Designer Search





Kazan used DIY Darling

It is always great to work with a product that does what its name says.  This week the entire Design Team all worked with darling stamps from Clear & Simple.  What we loved about their product is that they are indeed Clear and Simple.  Any stamper, both beginner to advanced, will find pleasure in their wide selection of stamps that appeal to any occasion.  For your viewing pleasure our Design Team has created the following cards with their Clear and Simple Stamps.

Angela

Their signature line are their Simple Darlings and Simple Gents™.  They have a growing collection of fun stamps that they hope you will find unique and inspiring to work with.  They design all their stamps in-house and like us, they cannot wait to see your fabulous creations or as they like to call your "divalicious style" shine through when creating with Clear and Simple Stamps!

Janelle said...

I love this sketch! Did my card way earlier in the week and then forgot {gasp} to link it to your blog! So, since I hate to use Mr. Linky after the deadline (although, he looks to still be available...) Here is my card:

Can't let all that work be a total waste! :) Thanks for the great sketch!

Janelle said...

Oops! I accidently linked this weeks card here to last week's sketch (which I already wrote a comment about earlier -- that I had forgotten to link last week). Man, I'm sounding like a real flake here!
