Here a chick ..... there a chick
I just can't get enough of this "Hey Chick" Sale-a-bration set - it is so much fun to play with! The other day I showed you how I made a chicken wire background - just by pushing my cardstock base down on the Hexagon folder - and I loved the look. But this next card uses the dynamic folder by inking it up and running it through the Big Shot - you still get that same chicken wire look - but with the hexagon's embossed!
You can see it even better below. For chicken wire, you need to be sure you ink the side that just has the little lines raised up. If you do the other side - you'll get an entirely different look!
How adorable is that!!??!!
Here's the envelope below - you all know I hate naked envelopes - and how fun would it be to see this in your stack of mail?
Stop back soon! ~Maureen

My original design had the sentiment stamped on some Vanilla Satin ribbon. It stamped on beautifully - but by a short time later it had bled (see my proto-type below)! I love the idea - but might have to seal the ribbon before stamping on it next time. So I switched it up to cardstock!
So - do you need this set yet???? You can get it FREE with any online order of $50 or more (pre-S&H and tax) at my website - www.stampingwithmaureen.stampinup.net

Hey Chick!
I am in love with this amazing "Hey Chick" set that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration with any $50 purchase. It is absolutely the cutest thing. I'm not one for the corney - quirky sets - usually, but this one has won me over. Here's the picture I posted on Facebook and Instagram a while back while I was sitting and coloring at Starbucks - and I wanted to show you what I did with those images I colored.
After coloring them with SU's new watercolor pencils, I cut them apart, and made these adorable cards for my TEAM achievers!
The background is make by inking up the Hexagons Dynamic Textured embossing folder with Soft Suede ink and then pressing it down on my card base - using it like I would a stamp. It is perfect for making the impression of Chicken Wire! I just tapped here and there - not worrying about whether or not the pressure was perfect.
Here you can see the card and I did the same thing with the embossing folder on the outside of the envelope! I just love the look of these - with their funky little colorful birds. Hope you like them too!
See you soon with some more cards made with this set. Wanna get your own set FREE - just place an online order of $50 or more (pre S&H and tax) and add "Hey Chick" as your free choice. You can order at www.stampingwithmaureen.stampinup.net - and PLEASE use HOSTESS code - 4A4WS9QD ~Maureen

A couple Christmas Trees....
Found these pictures in my blog folder - and I don't think I ever posted them - so I think today is the day! I made these for two different classes - but both the same framelits and DSP. Simple, quick cards for the holidays - hope you like them!

| Card one with gems! Tree cut out of DSP. |

| View of cards and envelope. |
 |
| Card two - similar but with some frayed gold thread. |

| Close up so you can see we used the negative over DSP for this card. |
See you soon!!! ~Maureen

It's Sale-A-Bration - don't miss out on FREE products!
Hey All - If you haven't heard Stampin' Up! is having it's huge Sale-a-bration now through March 31 - this is the best time of year to stock up - because for every $50 in product you purchase - you'll receive your choice of a FREE product from the Sale-a-bration catalog. Today I'm going to feature the Pretty Pocket Card Kit which is one of the items you could choose for FREE! You can see the description in the image below -
At my recent Open House we each made one of these as a Make and Take project - my grand-daughter, Paisley, helped at my M&T table and everyone said she did a great job. Here is the finished project - after the pocket is put together, the labels are adhered, and you tie the twine around for a finished pocket card.
The kit comes with envelopes - but you know I don't like naked envelopes - so we used the "Penned and Painted" stamp set to add some coordinating flowers to the envelopes.
I just LOVE how quick and easy they are - and for FREE you can have a kit of 8 to make your own. Be sure to click on the Catalogs link on the right to check out all of our amazing products. If you have any questions - let me know. See you soon for more Sale-a-bration fun and samples. ~Maureen

Birthday Balloons for a few friends!
This is such a cute and simple card. It was a copy from someone else who just used different colors - actually just about any colors. I saw it a few days back and I needed more birthday cards so had to make them. But now I cannot find the original post - that always happens. So a shout out and a thank you to whomever inspired me with their card.
The card above was just layered white on white with dimensionals. The one below had a layer of turquoise behind it - and honestly, I don't know which I prefer. I think they are both just happy cards - which is what birthdaying is all about!
If I get a chance today I plan to do a few more with some different color combos. The balloon set has a couple ribbon choices, but for this card I just got out my markers and freehanded - it's a little faster than switching ink pads and cleaning the stamps. But either way I'm sure they'll look great! Still taking comments on my Jan.19th post here - http://crazystampinglady.blogspot.com/2017/01/stampin-friends-january-love-themed-hop.html to win some of that beautiful Valentine paper. Leave a comment on that post by Thursday evening - and on Friday I'll choose a winner!!! ~Maureen
