Happy Birthday to Clear Dollar Stamps!

Let the party begin! We are going to have five great days of scavenger hunts, prizes, and special deals! Katie is going to host the Great Candy Caper....keep reading to see what you have to do to win!

First, I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you who follow Clear Dollar Stamps blog, who have been faithful customers over the years, and those who have kept spreading the word about us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, we wouldn't be what we are today without all your support, encouraging emails, and stamp suggestions!

I also want to say a HUGE & SPECIAL THANK YOU to all of my current and past Design Team members. Thank you for all the inspiration and beauty you put in to our lives each month!

Birthday Celebration

What would a birthday be without a special set? Laurie and I came up with a special birthday set to celebrate this occasion!

During our five day Birthday Celebration, this set that normally sells for $14.99 will be only $11.99! Hurry to get this special price November 1st to November 5th!

The wonderful thing about this set is that you can make fancy cards or simple and quick cards. Here is a funny story about my samples from this set: my daughter had been home sick for two days....I REALLY wanted to make some samples for this set. So every so often I would say to my daughter, "I have to go downstairs, I'll be right back." I would sneak downstairs to my craft table and stamp until she hollered down asking where I was, then I would quickly run back upstairs. I couldn't use anything that made noise, or it would set off her crafting alarm and she would have insisted on helping! I really took a chance using the embossing gun on a couple of them! I made all of the simple cards in about an hour of sneaking downstairs...so it really can be done quickly! LOL!
