Have you seen this fun and quirky stamp set from the Annual Catalog? Watts the Occasion covers a number of occasions, so it is a wonderful set that can be used year round.

Can you name that Designer Series Paper? It’s the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper that coordinates with our Coffee Break suite of products (page 30 of the Annual Catalog). As you can see this paper is wonderfully versatile.

How do you make the filament a different color when it is all one stamp?

Breath to revitalize the ink and stamp! Want to try it? I’ve included the complete supply list for this card below for you.

And here is another card done using our Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack (144177).
