Stamptember Memory Box Collaboration

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.

CAS on Friday #341 - Make a Round Card

Boy, this one was a hard one for me to design for the CAS on Friday #341 Make a Round Card challenge. Round?! Like, not an A2 rectangle? Eww! Fortunately, I had the Lawn Fawn Christmas Fishes set on my desk and it occurred to me that I could make the card base into a fish bowl.  Eureka!

CAS on Friday #340 - Get Well

I cannot believe it's already time for another CAS on Friday challenge. The summer is flying by way too quickly!

Argh--the pic on this one doesn't do it justice at all. I hot-foiled the image in black, colored it with alcohol inks, and then embossed the card front. The combo is stunning.
