Instructions:

1. Cut cream cardstock, use corner rounder. Ink edges.
    
2. The Plus Corporation roller stamps are so fun and easy to use!  Just push the top and the stamp becomes exposed.  One tip I learned is that I tend to roll uphill or downhill. To prevent this use ruler and Plus Corporation Cupcake Stamp to ensure straight rolling.
