Tulips for Mom!

I came across a beautiful tulip card by Jay on Mitosu Crafts and just had to use the same colours of Stampin' Blends in creating my own card!


The oval frame might look to be gold but it is actually diecut and embossed using the Heirloom Frames Dies & 3D Embossing Folder out of Old Olive foil from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets! I think it paired nicely with the Pretty Peacock Card Stock!

Since I can't hold my card making classes for the time being, I am offering this awesome Class Kit To Go! This kit includes the gorgeous Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and all supplies & instructions are included to make 10 projects - 9 cards and a little gift box!


This kit was designed by a fellow demonstrator in the UK and I have the rights to sell it to my Canadian customers! The kit includes all pre-cut cardstock, diecuts, punched pieces, ribbon, rhinestones, mini pizza box, a tutorial sheet and exclusive instructional videos! All you need are ink pads, scissors and adhesives! The tutorial and videos give you a few different colour combinations but you can easily change it up to match the ink colours that you own!

The cost for this kit is $49 CAD. You can choose to pick it up on my porch if you are near Coquitlam, BC, or you can have it mailed to you for an additional $5. Payment must be received by Saturday, April 25th and can be made by etransfer or Paypal. I will then order your stamp set and mail out your kit as soon as your stamp set arrives (usually within 10 days).

Scrappy Strip Technique

When I saw Bruno Bertucci’s card and video using the Scrappy Strip Technique, I knew I wanted to give it a try with the gorgeous foiled Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper!




The strips are cut with my Stampin’ Trimmer (no measuring) and glued onto a Basic Black cardstock layer which is 5” x 3-3/4”. Then I trimmed off the edges of the DSP and glued it onto another piece of Basic Black which is 5-1/8” x 3-7/8”. I mounted that on a Pretty Peacock card base measuring 8-1/2” x 5-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”. You can use Stampin’ Dimensionals between the layers, if you like.


I finished it off with a sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamped on black in Versamark and heat embossed with white Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I added a Noble Peacock Rhinestone. Enjoy!
