I will be sharing several projects for two of the sets being released tonight.  

Cozy Friends is a whimsical winter set that contains two adorable winter friends and four matching sentiments.  This set is perfect for sending warm and cozy greetings to all your friends as well as for creating adorable gift tags for your Christmas packages.

Here is a card made with this cute set.

The two cozy friends were colored with copic markers.  Liquid appliqué gives texture to the fur and a Sharpie poster paint pen was used to add a pattern to the scarves.  Punched snowflakes, rhinestones, and Baker's twine finish the card.


And here's a gift tag using the same set.

This gift tag was made with a white and a poppy scalloped circle.  The white one was scored at the top and the poppy one attached above the score line so the tag flips open.  The polar bear was stamped on cryogen white card stock, cut with a circle nestie, colored with copics, and attached to the tag.  You'll find that both images work perfectly with your circle Nestabilities!  Some White Opal Liquid Pearls and glitter were added to the pom-pom.  The Baker's twine will be used to attach the tag to a Christmas gift.  And now...on to the second set!

God's Purpose includes a chickadee, two scripture verses, and three sentiments. This set is another wonderful addition to the other bird sets you can find at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

And here is my sample for this beautiful set.

The sweet chickadee was also colored with copic markers.  The image is mounted on a Cheery Lynn doily die which was then adhered to a white panel impressed with a wood grain pattern.  Black felt ribbon, pearls, and a layered poinsettia complete the card.  


I think you'll agree that both of these sets would make wonderful additions to your stamp collection!


Now head on over to Margo Smith to see another amazing SNSS sample! But before you go, when you get to the end of the hop, stop back at the SNSS Blog and leave a comment to let us know what you think of the November release.  You won't want to miss this step because we've got a HUGE prize up for grabs...the ENTIRE NOVEMBER RELEASE valued at over $130!!!!...that's 6 stamp sets, 3 die sets, and 11 digis!  Tonight at the release party, we'll announce the randomly drawn winner from the comments made...PLUS...everyone who attends the release party will receive a free digi!

Hugs,
