Melanie Muenchinger

Melanie Muenchinger got her start stamping 9 years ago and started illustrating and designing for Gina K in 2008. To date,  she’s created more than 50 stamp sets exclusively for Gina K Designs, with sets ranging from clean graphic to realistic nature images, whimsical animals, and decorative elements.  She recently published her first book with Annie’s Attic.  You can find more inspiration from Melanie and view all her stamp sets on her blog “Hands, Head and Heart”. She is honored to be sponsoring the CAS-ual Fridays challenge!

This week, Melanie is donating a signed copy of her book “A Year of Flowers”, 64 pages of step by step technique tutorials for 36 cards, arranged by season and occasion, all featuring her stamp set of the same name from Gina K Designs.  This book also includes a perpetual calendar for important dates so you can plan cards as you work and send them out on time.

Clear and Simple Stamps was created as a collaborative effort by a mother-daughter duo. Both of whom share a love of art, fashion, graphic design, event planning, entertaining and above all else paper crafting! Together Reenee and Nicki have built a company that is steeped in the love of all things creative and enjoy bringing you clear stamps with style. 

Our concept is clear and simple stamping - each set offers you a variety of options to fit your own personal, creative style. We know all too well the desire to find inspiration. Visit with us every day on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad for a daily boost of creativity by using the CSS Daily App {available in iTunes}. The first ever papercrafting app of its kind with over 500 projects in our archives, and a brand new project shared each and every day.
