Memory Box Stamptember Collab 2025

Oh my goodness, these penguins from the Simon Says Stamps/Memory Box Stamptember collaboration, Good Cheer, are so darn cute!  I love how they're looking up at you.

I stamped them with Versafine Clair Nocturne even though I was going to be coloring with Copics. I just made sure I didn't touch the Versafine with the alcohol ink and was just fine.  I wouldn't have done that if I were coloring up something more detailed.

For the scarves and cup, I paper-pieced them using leftover Sunny Studio Stamps 6x6 paper.  So cute and cheerful!
