Celebrating STAMPtember with Simon Says Stamp

It’s STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp – and if you haven’t already stopped by their blog to check out all the fantastic project ideas and tutorials, I encourage you to do so.  I’m honored to have been invited to participate their STAMPtember event, and wanted to share with you a bit about Simon Says Stamp and STAMPtember, as well as the projects I created for their blog (video tutorials for those projects will be coming soon for Paper Crafter’s Library members. 

Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn’t take long until we realized we couldn’t stop there. Over the past 10 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stop shop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hosting a “STAMPtember” ™ event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping. Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating or complementing ANYTHING! From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcels in the early 18th century, rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making, scrapbooking, mixed media and many forms of altering and expressing art.

For my projects I decided to focus on a Back To School theme and incorporate coloring with Copic Markers.  I created three projects in all:
