*Heat setting may be required on non – Catherine Pooler Designs Cardstock.
** Jet Black and Midnight ink pad (both archival) will stain high-quality stamps, so ink lightly to ensure you only ink up the actual stamp part. Clean immediately with your favourite cleaner, such as Squeaky Clean stamp cleaner.
