Art Impressions Stamptember Colab!

So happy to once again be participating in the Art Impressions/Simon Says Stamp colaberation for Stamptember!

This year's stamp set is called SSE25A Boba Babes - a great Girlfriends image with six fun sentiments to choose from.  

I've coloured up my image with Copic markers, done a little fussy cutting (there is a coordintating die available), and mounted it to my patterned paper background with 3D foam adhesive over a vellum oval.  I used the plaids of my background to also do a little paper piecing on their outfits.

This is a Simon Says Stamp exclusive set, only available while supplies last, so head over to their website to pick yours up.  *You can also see all of the Design Team's inspiration here on the Ai blog, or over on the SSS blog, along with their team.  Happy Stamptember!

I am excited to share that I have four cards in the Winter edition of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine!  I am using two of the newest Art Impressions Christmas stamp sets.  The first two are using Christmas Bee Set (Sku #5042):

 Isn't she a scream?  I adore her Bee onesie!  She is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink, and coloured with Copic Markers.  I picked one of the many sentiments that come in the set and popped it up on pop dots along with a sprig of holly.

These three caroling bees crack me up, too... also coloured in Copics.  I cut an oval shape out of the checked paper, added a red frame and then popped the checked rectangle up with pop dots.  The bees are adhered to the base of the card, so they are actually recessed in the card.  I added some die cut fir branches and a little coloured poinsettia to trim it off.  I'll post my other two published cards tomorrow.
