Arctic Bear bundle from Stampin’ Up makes such a great Winter and Holiday card. The artistry and uniqueness of this set is amazing! The polar bear, icicles, the glacier, and water effect die cuts are something I don’t have in my collection today, so it was a must have! The realism of the bears in the stamp sets is also amazing.
