Have Fun with Puns!

Close Read

Did you hear about the scrapbooker who ran away to be a comedian? She left a real paper trail. Someone should have cut to the chase with her; you can be a papercrafter and be funny, even if you have to embellish a little. Remember, artists are naturally humorous; chalk it up to their colorful personalities.

If you think you’re not good at papercrafting with puns, stick to it! There’s no need to be distressed, thanks to the My Acrylix^® Pun Fun stamp set. Each of the six images will help shape your sense of humor, whatever the occasion! Whether you’re expressing gratitude, encouragement, or birthday wishes, your card will push the envelope.

At just $13.95 for 6 sentiments and corresponding images, comedy with this set will feel like your old stamping ground.
