"Happy Scarecrow" card...

So I just can't tell you how much I love that Stampin' Up! made the Cookie Cutter Halloween set to use the same punch from the Cookie Cutter Bundle - who doesn't love a punch that you can use with so many different images.  See the products at the bottom of this post to see just how many.

So at my cards class last week we made this "little cutie."  The scarecrow is just adorable, and I love this topsy-turvy layout to go with him.

We colored him with the 2015-17 In Colors - then added the linen thread behind him and with a bow at the top.  I love that, as to me it mimics the look of straw that would be in a scarecrow.  Then added the sentiment and that cute little crow and we're done.  Of course I super love the look of the Petals and Paisley's Designer Series Paper in the middle - that paper is perfect for this fall season.

Here's a close up of his smiling face - doesn't he just look so happy that cooler temps are here?!?  I know I am.  Enjoy your day - see you soon!  ~Maureen

A HAPPY Happy Birthday

Today I'm sharing a card we made at a recent Coffee and Cards class and I am LOVIN' it!  It was so quick and easy, and it would be so easy to change up the colors to make it for a child, teen, man - FUN!!!

The balloons were punched out with our Pop of Pink DSP and Gold Foil cardstock as well as Melon Mambo.  The strings and envelope were done with Balloon Celebration and the sentiment is our single Stylized Birthday stamp - which is a focal point on it's own.  Enjoy - Case - Copy - Have Fun!! ~Maureen

The Last of my Birthday wishes....

So - I think this is it.  Sharing my last four handmade Birthday cards that I received.  Feeling so blessed!  This first card is from my downline, Michelle.  We've never met - but she has my style down to a tea - yellow, polka dots, sun rays - I'm in LOVE!!

This next card is from my downline, Shawna.  I love this color combo, and don't think I would have ever thought to use it. Gray and coral - so elegant - and tropical!  Loving it!

This next card is from my downline, Vicki D.  What a pretty summer feeling card - with all the beautiful hand colored flowers.  Makes me want to pick a bouquet!

And last, but not least - this beautiful birthday card from my downline, Virginia.  She cut out the florishy oval with the BigShot - stamped it in collage style, then put it back on.  Very clever.  Thank you all so very much for adding this creative beauty, and special wishes to my birthday this year.

They all meant the world to me, and encouraged me even more to get out there and send those cards to people - share the SMILES!!!  ~Maureen

Here's a close up so you can see how the wings pop up to reveal the beautiful paper below -

And this final beauty for today comes from my downline and friend, Toni H - such a fun card - just made me smile.  I don't have this DSP - but it works perfect on here - especially with the addition of a little pink bling in the form of sequins - how can you not smile.

Thank you everyone - but we're not done yet - have a few more to share in the next couple days so see you soon!! ~Maureen

A Little More Birthday...

So - the cards just keep coming - and the celebrating just keeps happening - best birthday ever!!!  This card is from my newest recruit, Kelea.  It's been great getting to know here, and try to answer her questions - thanks for the "party" card and the coffee girl!!!

Next card is from my downline, Paula.  I love just about everything she makes.  Her style is much like my own.  This card is no exception - so pretty - soft colors, flowers, wood, wreaths - what more could you ask for :)

The next is from my downline, Sarah.  This is also so my style - I love clean lines - and this has that.  All the beautiful swatches of color and patterns - just makes me smile.  The hexagons are gone - but the card is beautiful.

Thanks Ladies - but stop back - there are more!!!!  ~Maureen
