Circle of Friends




Clear and Simple Stamps is a clear polymer stamp company based out of Maryland. We are a mother-daughter duo who hand illustrate each of our signature stamp sets and oversee the design process from beginning to end. Each owner is a fashion and graphic designer by trade, and both have an equal passion for the art of stamping.

Our signature line is our Simple Darlings™ and Simple Gents™. We have a growing collection of fun stamps that we hope you will find unique and inspiring to work with. We design all of our stamps in-house, and cannot wait to see your fabulous creations – or what we like to call your “divalicious style” shine through when creating with Clear and Simple Stamps!
