This little bear has been feeling a little neglected, so I decided to create a fun autumn card using this little cutie as the main focus paired with the new With a Thankful Heart stamp set.

I made two cards for today's hop; I get in this habit of just stamping multiples and that makes it easy to make more than one design! I stamped the bear and mug from the Big Bear stamp set and the pumpkins and flowers from the With a Thankful Heart stamp set . I colored both of the pumpkins that I stamped, but only ended up liking the white one. I just don't have the right orange markers to make a pumpkin of this size look good! The white one on the other hand, is super easy! LOL!

Once I had everything colored, I used the Big Bear Confetti Cuts and the With a Thankful Heart Confetti Cuts to die cut everything. I set those aside and got to work on the rest of the design elements that I included in my cards!

The background is inkblended using Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink....which seems to my go-to combo lately. I also cut two panels of the green pattern paper which is from the new This & That 6 by 6 pattern paper pad to adhere across the center of the blended panels. I love the way the blue and green look together! I also added some white polka dots using a white gel pen for some added whimsy.

I used the Stitched Notes Frames Confetti Cuts to create the frame on the pumpkin card and the note and frame portion on the other card. I also added the "fall is in the air" sentiment, which is from the Fall Foliage stamp set, stamped in black for contrast.

I used foam squares to add all of the die cut pieces for dimension! I also added a few sparkling clear sequins here and there for some shine. I also added some Crystal Glaze to the mugs and bears' noses AFTER I photographed these! I don't know how I forgot I wanted to do that! It just adds a fun, extra touch to the design! Thanks for fluttering by!
