I had SO. MUCH. FUN with this release, as you can, uh, see! Yeeesh! Here’s a ton of cards I made from them – you’ll only see the above bear bakery card being made in the video, but in case you need more ideas, well, they’re pictured below. LOL.

First, this was the card that I used as the “base” from which I stamped the bakery card – not part of the new release, but it’s here for your inspiration.
Here the bear is using the same wagon – with last month’s chicken. Who is panicked at the idea of where they’re headed!
Bear Ware 4, North Pole style! The boxes are from the Christmas Characters set. You can learn to make soft trees similar to this in Winter Wonderland mini class.
Bear Ware 4 in fall….with Pumpkin to Talk About that I turned into a sign! See the video with a tulip garden similar to the pumpkin field HERE.
Mondo Amaryllis is probably going to be the one shown most in this hop so I’m just showing my cards….a red one…
A white one, which looks white because of the color around the flowers….
And then a multicolor one I found on the internet – more pink and red toward the top but the bottom leaves were edged in white. The window here will likely be in a new class this fall with indoor scenes for the holidays.
Next are Christmas Characters – Not sure stockings are characters, but there ya go! The fireplace might be in that indoor class, too….
Santa and two of the reindeer are peeking to see if you’ve been naughty! It’s never too early to watch out…
Elves are resting up for the holiday season ahead!
My one halloween card – with a couple see-through ghosties!
Last but not least….a coffee card featuring the new woodgrain background stamp! It’s stamped in Grout Grey by MFT, and I colored right overtop it all to create the dimension. The cups are from Latte Love, released earlier this year.
Guest post and coloring video today: over at MFT there’s another video!

You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your creations.
These cards are all amazing! I am in love with that cute bear.
So cute!
Simply darling!
You are such a talented artist.
All these cards are so wonderful!! I really love the one with the chicken and the KFC sign, so funny! This is a great release.
What a gorgeous bunch of cards you created, I love every one of them – and especially chuckled at the cameo appearance by the Colonel! How cute and clever!
Oh my goodness! What a wonderful grouping of cards. We hit the jackpot when we found your blog today! I knew I should be working on Christmas cards and this release convinces me! Thanks!
Sandy, I’ve never seen anyone showcase products in a blog hop like you just have!! Wowee!! Your talent knows no bounds & I adore the Bear Ware. Now I really want it & the woodgrain & the Mondo Amaryllis. Oh gee, thanks a lot. lol Love your video.
Beautiful coloring as ever! I love the elves in bed card – super cute!
Such fun cards!!
Your coloring is so amazing. I love how you build scenes even when there isn’t a scene stamp or die to work with. Truly love your work!
WOW.
So much amazing inspiration!
Of course I love everything, especially the caffeinated one!
Your cards and coloring are awesome as usual. But as a vegetarian and someone that believes all of Gods creatures should be loved and cared for since He saw them as “good”, the chicken card was sad and cruel especially since KFC is one of the worst for how the poor innocent chickens are handled. Unless the bear is saving him. I choose saving.
Your creative mind is amazing with scenes! Love every single card Sandy.
You did such an amazing job showcasing the new EH stamps.
Wow! All of your cards has me needing to get to my craft table! Love how you used the lil bear in the wagon! Those bears and that wagon are perfect for so many cards! The pie background is a bonus delight in this card! And that sentiment haha, it is perfect for a pie shop name! thank you for sharing your creativity!
These are sooo cute! And your coloring is just perfect!!!!
Goodness Sandy, you just went to town on this new release. I am crazy about the Bear Ware stamp set, and after seeing the different ways you used it I love it even more!
Wow so many great cards and I love all the bears! Great job and so much fun.
What beautiful cards to feature this awesome release! Love all the scenes with the bear, and the amaryllis cards are just gorgeous!
WOW! So many great cards! I especially love the “punny” ones. Such cute sayings! Thanks for the inspiration. 😀
These cards are beautiful. The bears are adorable. Thanks for the background idea and for the Copic coloring. I’m working on improving my Copic coloring and have learned a lot by watching you.
Cute and pretty cards. Love the bears and the amaryllis.
I can’t tell you how much I love & enjoy studying your cards/coloring. Thank you for giving us so many to look at in one post.
Oh wow Sandy! your cards are amazing!
LOVE what you created! Every release I hope there will be more Bear Ware, because I am obsessed!
Wow! You really outdid yourself! Every single one is so creative and completely adorable. I’m particularly smitten with all the kiddos lined up in the bed and that amazing fireplace card!
I am a big fan of the Bear Ware series, and I probably would have bought this anyway just to complete my collection. But when I saw your cards, I placed my order today!! These are fantastic!! Love the KFC card!! So funny! Thank you for making me laugh!
What a beautiful bunch of cards, Sandy! I love your coloring and your attention to detail.
Your cards have such wonderful detail.
Wow wow wow… excellent!!!!
Who doesn’t love bears for all seasons? CUTE.
I love what you did with all the different stamps! Your cards are amazing!
all these cards are amazing!!!
All your cards are just amazing Sandy! Loved the video!
I love the beautiful scenes you created with the bears!
Oh my gosh, what amazing cards! Your scenes are so beautiful. Hard to pick a favourite but I’d say maybe the elves in bed or santa & the reindeer peeking over the roof. So so cute.
I can’t wait to try some of these scenes! How do you always come up with such great ideas!!!!
LOVE what you created!!!
These are so sweet! You are off to a good start with these Christmas cards. TFS.
That polar bear with a wagon full of gifts has captured my heart!

This whole release has me on the edge of my seat. Every set knocks my socks off. I’m loving all your samples. Thanks for showing how you did the pie shelving on the wall.
I love all your beautiful cards, thank you so much for sharing these and the video tutorial.
Have a great weekend Sandy.
I always love watching you make a scene card. You make magic happen on paper! It’s obvious you had fun making the cards ’cause they’re fun to look at. Great ideas! Thank you for sharing.
Oh, I can’t wait to watch the video!!! These are the rewards I give myself for going to the gym at night. Also, what helps me survive those blasted machines. Anyway, fabulous cards as always. I can’t even choose a favorite but those elves in bed…they have my heart!
Great idea! This card can be used for Pi Day in March!
You always craft outside of the box. You’re such an inspiration!
WOWZERS what FUN creations! Cute critter stamps and love the amaryllis stamp!
Of course I love every one of these cards. Sandy, you’re the best!
I have been resisting the bear set for a long time but I think I am caving….. so many scenes to make with it! This one is adorable!
