FESTIVE OLD FRIENDS
There’s no friend like an old friend and no one better to celebrate with than the ones that have known you longest! Festive Old Friends is the follow-up to the hugely popular Old Friends set. You’ll make indelible memories with this quintet of rejoicing retirees. All the party essentials are included — balloons, gifts, party hats, and of course a sweet treat with a LOT of candles — so get the party started SOON (because bedtime comes sooner than you expect!)
The coordinating dies are open inside to allow you to stamp, then cut OR cut, then stamp. This feature keeps our dies lightweight and allows for easy removal of the die cut from the die.

IN STITCHES ALPHABET DIE-NAMICS
A classic alphabet die set is an essential component of a well-rounded cardmaking toolbox, and the In Stitches Alphabet fits the bill perfectly. This set features a 1” tall alphabet with a neat line of stitching down the center of the lines that comprise each letter. The size of these letters makes them an ideal option for creating a text-based design and lends them well to integrating into sentiments created with stamped lead-in and follow-up phrases.
PUNCHED PATTERN STENCIL
You’ll get so much enjoyment exploring all the styles this cool stencil can be integrated into. From industrial to modern to creating subtle texture for the most feminine of looks, your color choices and techniques determine the outcome. You have to love a design that works with everything!
INK PADS, CUBES, REFILLS, AND CARD STOCK
This release features a gorgeous new cool blue for you to add to your growing collection of Premium Dye Inks and heavyweight card stock. The ink pad and cube feature a firm foam surface for impeccable coverage, and the updated formula was designed for improved stamp impressions. You'll also find four customer favorites updated to the new design. Each color is available as both a 3 3/8" x 2 1/8" foam pad as well as a perfectly portable ink cube featuring a 1" x 1" foam pad.

Quite an assortment of different items for this release.
This may be my favorite release yet! The Festive Old Friends set is definitely a must for me. As a “senior” myself, all my friends are “old” (some more festive then others). Your certainly off to a great start with this release.
Ohhh how adorable are all of these!!! So excited for this!!!
Oh Torico. This is very bittersweet. I love her images! I’m glad you will still offer her designs to us. I also love this new fower bouquwt and stitched alphabet dies.
I love the stitched alphabets and the old friends, which are hilarious!
I love seeing all the new product 😊
The Stitches Alphabet die-namics are really AWESOME!
LOVE the flowers!
Can’t wait for the new “festive old friends” set. So many ideas to send cards to “old friends” using this set.
Wonderful new releases! Love the flower bouquet and the Old Friends sets!
As someone who loves to color-I really am excited about the freshly picked bouquet.
I’m so sad to hear that Torico is retiring from illustration. I hope we continue to see her fabulous talent is some fashion. Festive Friends is an appropriate set to celebrate!
Oh my! I was wondering when a new old friends set would come out and you didn’t disappoint!
Really sad to hear about Torico not designing sets anymore. I love her work and she was one of the first illustrators to hook me into card making. But thanks for unretiring her other beauties. Love the new inks today.
So much goodness in one post!
I love the bouquet and alphabet, so pretty. Wonderful cards
I love the Festive Old Friends set since most of my friends fall in that category these days!! And, I also love the florals. Looks like another great release!
Beautiful flower set, love it!
