Most stampers have stamps with flowers and butterflies but do you have Chinese takeout boxes and fortune cookies? This adorable stamp set is featured in the Occasions Catalog on page 42. The varied fortune cookie greetings cover birthday, thank you, encouragement and hello. Couple it with the Wood Textures Designer Paper and you’ve got an instant takeout meal.
I’ve included written instructions below for those of you using a mobile device. I also have a free PDF tutorial available for those that would like to download and save this project for a later day.
