I plan on using this card for an up coming card camp! I don't have this stamp set though. Could you tell me the measurement of the chick stamp (wood size and the rubber size) so I can find a suitable replacement? I know if I order it, it won't arrive in time. Also, is the scallop a Nestabilities, if so, from which set is it?
Thanks for creating a wonderful card!

What's the measurement you used for the piece you cut off as your very first step to make the rounded flap please? TYIA

I had trouble finding the magnetic snaps locally in Canada. Have purchased them twice from ebay store. Wonderful seller, reasonable prices and shipping.
scor pal may have to offer the same to keep up. ;]
the spend an extra thirty or more to get a free five dollar dsposable cloth doesn't work for me!
As soon as I find the ones used in the tutorial I will use those!
