Purchase them as a bundle and save 10 percent. (If you love this, be sure to order sooner rather than later. In recent releases, our punches have sold quickly.) I also use the Them Bones 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.

Do you ever fall in love with a stamp set and keep on using it and using it? That’s me! I preordered Stampin’ Up!’s Circle Sayings Bundle in April and have been playing with it ever since.

Receive a 10 percent discount when you purchase the stamp set and 2 3/8″ circle punch together. 

I love this stamp set because it contains all of the sentiments I use regularly. It pairs easily with different papers and designs.
