This month’s “Featured Product” pays tribute to one of my favorite products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. The Hand-Penned Suite is soft and subtle, beautiful and colorful. The stamps and dies carry forward into the new catalog for all of next year – but the delicate DSP (Designer Series Paper) is retiring this month. And once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Everything you need to know about the Featured Product is right here on this page:
