Stamptember Memory Box Collaboration

2026-09-12T09:00:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited that Memory Box is collaborating again this year with Simon Says Stamp for Stamptember! Isn't the Stay Cozy set CRAZY ADORABLE?!

I colored up the penguin and deer using Copics then diecut them out using the dies. Honestly, this might be the best alignment of die to image I've ever experienced! Notice how deliciously even the margins are?!

Next, I masked and sponged a circle with Catherine Pooler Cummerbund and In the Park inks. I stamped and off-stamped a few snowflakes too. I stamped the sentiment in Cummberand as well to create a virtual snowglobe effect.
