Cheeky Chick!

Hi bloggists, and welcome.

We’re down to the last few days of Sale-a-Bration 2017 and hasn’t it been a great one?  So sad to think it’s nearly all over for another year.

One of the advantages of being a SU demo is that you get early access to some products and the “Hey Chick” stamps were one of the sets that were available ahead of time.  When I first saw them, I didn’t think I was going to use them very much – I was SO wrong!  They’ve been among my favourite sets and I’m going to miss demonstrating with them, so I wanted to play with these cheeky chickens one more time.

Here’s what I did –

There’s still time – just! – to get hold of the “Hey Chick” stamps – or anything else in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue that’s in stock - but only for a couple of days.  After Friday, it’s all over for another year (sob!)

By the way, did you know that the Sweet Home stamps and dies were carried over from the Autumn/Winter catalogue?  I’m so pleased about that as I love that cute little house. 

Thanks for visiting,

See you soon,

Hey Chick! Egg Carton

Hello bloggists and welcome!

I can't believe that it's almost the end of March and that Sale-a-Bration will soon be over.  In fact, this is the last-but-one Sale-a-Bration Saturday - how mad is that?  

I didn't think I'd get much use out of the rather funky chickens in the "Hey Chick" set, but they've grown on me and I shall miss demonstrating with them when they're no longer available.  Of course, they're a perfect match for the mini egg boxes in the Spring-Summer catalogue and it would have been wrong not to use them together.  Add a bit of bling with the Mint Macaron Glimmer paper and you've got a rather neat way of presenting Easter treats.

Here's the tutorial - 

Don't forget, if you want to get your hands on some of the super things you can earn for FREE (everyone's favourite price!)  in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue, you need to act now.  When they're gone, they're gone and after March 31 they're gone for good!

That's me done for today, back again soon!

Funky Chicken treat bag

Hello Bloggists, happy Saturday.

March already, and that means that Sale-a-bration is nearly over for another year - but not quite.  You still have time to get your hands on some of the great things you can get for free from the Sale-a-bration catalogue, plus Stampin Up have added some extra goodies. It's so exciting! 

Today's Sale-a-bration Saturday project is a quick and easy one. I love the funky chicken in the Hey Chick set!

Here's the tutorial -

By the way, the chocolate eggs were delicious!

See you again soon,

Hey, Chick!

Hello bloggists and welcome.

It's Saturday, and that means it's Sale-A-Bration day, when I will be featuring one of the items from this year's Sale-A-Bration catalogue.  

Today I've been playing with the Hey Chick! stamps.  I'll be honest, when I first spotted these I didn't think that they'd be my style - but they've grown on me.    In this part of the world, people do call one another "chick", so I can see myself using this set quite often.

I used them to make a peek-a-boo card, which is a style of card I've been longing to make for a while, but didn't have just the right stamps.  The cute chicks were just perfect.  It was easier to make than I thought it would be, too. 

Here's the tutorial.

The measurements for the card, if you'd like to try this yourself  -

Back -
1 piece 11x 5 3/4inches
Score at 3 1/2 and 7 inches

Front -
1 piece 6 1/8 by 5 3/4 inches
Score at 4 1/4 inches
