Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop! Today’s hop is all about the stamp set Thankful Forest Friends! At first glance I wasn’t super excited about this set, but after some playing with it in my stamp room, I’m a superfan!
Thankful Forest Friends |
Speaking of superfans, one of my besties is a HUGE fan of bears. So as soon as I stamped that adorable little bear on a piece of cardstock, I knew I’d be making this card collection for her.
It was so fun to dress up Papa Bear (that’s my little pet name for him) for all different occasions. I used LOTS of stamp sets to create his different outfits and the sentiments, so I’ll break it down for you (and you can find links to these stamp sets and my Canadian online store at the bottom of this post).

Let’s Get Away
After creating this fun collection of Papa Bear Notecards I keep thinking of little outfits I could put on a Mama Bear. I’m going to have to find the time to play around with that fun idea sometime soon.
