I had so much fun playing with this Release and have 4 cards to share with you today. So let's get started.
Snow Happy We're Friends! My first card showcases the absolutely adorable new Winter Pals set and Oval Forest View Dies. The Winter Pals set includes the sweetest set of critter friends.
I stamped the images from the Winter Pals Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Winter Pals Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Owl: E40/41/42/43/44/47, R20
Fox: YR21/24/27, W1, R20
Bunny: E50/51/53, R000/20, R20

Hedgehog: E000/00/21/11, R20, E33/99
Red: R24/29
For the background, I took another piece of Neenah cardstock and diecut it with the center die from the absolutely beautiful Oval Forest View Dies set and the largest die from the Scallop Rectangle Dies. I colored the stars in with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. Next, I placed a piece of light blue cardstock into the new Swiss Dot 6x6 Embossing Folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. I used a white gel pen to place a dot onto the embossed dots to mimic snow. I adhered this to another piece of light blue cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the white panel to the light blue panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension.
For the sentiment, I stamped the "Snow Happy We're Friends" sentiment from the new Coldest Days Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used Large Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
I adhered the colored images with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
Wishing You a Season of Frosty Fun! My second card showcases the absolutely adorable new Flurry of Fun set, beautifully illustrated by our Pink & Main illustrator, Yan Au @yanxdiy. The set includes the cutest polar bear, snowman and trio of penguins having fun with a snowball fight. They totally stole my heart!
I stamped the images from the Flurry of Fun Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Flurry of Fun Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

Snowballs: B0000/000
Pink: RV10/21/13/14
Blue: B00/02

For the background, I took another piece of Neenah cardstock, masked off the bottom half and lightly ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. Once the panel was dry, I used the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle set 2 Dies to trim out the panel.
For the sentiment, I stamped the "Wishing you a season of frosty fun" sentiment from the new A Cool Friend Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the panel.
Finally, the panel was adhered to a piece of light blue cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
Enjoy the Magic of Winter! I couldn't resist making another card with the adorable penguins from the Flurry of Fun set for my third card. This time the super cute penguins are framed with the new Snowflake Frame Dies and dancing around and enjoying their favorite season of the year!
Once again, I stamped the images from the Flurry of Fun Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Flurry of Fun Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

Penguins: T3/5/7/9, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R20, BV20 W1
Red: R24/29/39

For the background, I took another piece of Neenah cardstoc and lightly ink blended the edges with Tumbled Glass and Unchartered Mariner Distress Oxide inks. I used the new Snowflake Frame Dies to diecut the frame out of white cardstock which was adhered to the top of the inked panel.
For the sentiment, I stamped the "Enjoy the magic of winter" sentiment from the new A Cool Friend Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used Large Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
Finally, I adhered the penguins to the panel with foam tape and the panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
So Grateful for Our Friendship! My last card showcases the sweet October Mouse who is all ready for the upcoming holiday season.

For the background, I took another piece of Neenah cardstock, masked off the bottom half and lightly ink blended with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. Once the panel was dry, I used the third largest die from the Stitched Rectangle set 2 Dies to trim out the panel.
I used the second largest die from the Scallop Rectangle Dies to trim a panel out of kraft cardstock. I added some dots for a bit of interest with a white gel pen. I adhered the two panels together and added some craft foam to the back of the scallop panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper from the new Chill in the Air Patterned Paper pack.
For the sentiment, I stamped the "So grateful for our friendship" sentiment from the same set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used Large Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
I adhered a piece of craft foam to the backside of the arched panel before I adhered it to the top of the stitched rectangle panel. The panels were adhered to a piece of patterned paper from the new Kraft Christmas Patterned Papers. Finally, the panels were adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").
Finally, I adhered the penguins to the panel with foam tape and the panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
