Today is the final preview day and I am so excited to show you the newest set by Rupa Shevde.

Introducing Winter Friends



Winter Friends is such an adorable set filled with penguins and snowmen and other little friends that will warm your heart when it's cold outside.

Designed to be used as an all-occasion set, Winter Friends will help you create sweet birthday, thank you, celebration, and of course, holiday cards.

This cute penguin's little sign is empty and you can fill it with whatever you want to say. For this project, I decided to create a small 4 1/4" square thank-you card. The patterned paper is the Jolly by Golly 6 X 6 patterned paper pack that we hope will be arriving soon in our store soon. The base is  Pure Luxury Rocket Red and Pure White.

For my final project of the release, I decided to use all of the new release sets in one card!

Remember when I said that I love how all of these sets seem to work so well together? Well, here is my example.



I decided to make a 5 1/2" square card to give as a first Christmas card to friends who recently got married. In the background, you can see that I used Festive Frame by Melanie Muenchinger.



Then, I used the snowman and snowgirl from Winter Friends by Rupa Shevde. I colored them with copics and put dots of blender pen all over their sweaters and hats to make them look cozy. That's how I achieved the texture.



I added the greeting from First Christmas by Asela Hopkins. And, I backed it on a soft stamped print of the musical score from Vintage Borders by Nina Brackett. Music notes always seem to work so well with holiday projects.

And last but not least, I used one of the stamps from the new One free with 3, Signed with Love.
I used Christmas as the date so they can remember their first Christmas every time they look at this card.



This free set is the perfect way to sign all of your hand-stamped, scrapbooked, hand-drawn or fresh baked projects. And a couple of the images have the copyright symbol for those of you who use our images in hand-stamped products that you sell at craft fairs and etsy shops.
