    I love all the Colorado Craft Company’s Anita Jeram releases and I have bought them along and along - as I can afford them. They bring a lot of joy to my grown children when I send cards I have made with them. They each had the little “Guess how much I love you” bunny and we read her book over and over. Using your simple water coloring techniques and these quality stamps make my cards a success every time!

    Hey! This is a good one for my92-yr old dad. He doesn’t grill, he can’t fix a car, he doesn’t golf or fish. But we sure jumped on his belly a lot. Done!

    Using an old wood mount from a rubber stamp I made myself a couple of the tools you use to have even pressure on your MISTY. I painted them added some felt or batting so they slide nicely. For the handle I used a wooden candle cup with a wooden doll head. Works perfectly and did not cost me a penny!
