Happy Spook Night!....

Happy Spook Night to everybody who is celebrating Halloween. 

I just finished redoing my purple craftroom and wanted some Halloween fun on one of my walls so I created some wallhangers. One of them is done with Pink Gem Cute spooks Digistamps. I coloured this cute ghost with Spectrum Noir markers and added some stickles.

I cut the spiderweb background with my silhouette cameo and just added it to a purple piece of cardstock. Now while redoing my craftroom I found stuff I didn't even knew I still had so also this Purple PolymerClay bead that I made a couple of years ago. But now it comes in very handy on top of the paper to keep the ribbon together ;) hahahha see it is a good thing to keep things and not just to sell or throw it all away ;) 

Ah and while I am showing you this ghost I better show you some of my other Halloween cards to with Pink Gem Designs Digistamps.

Here is another little wallhanger that I made with Broomstick Jodie.

And a Mummy Josh card with Halloween sentiments.

Keep Calm It's Xmas!

Good morning it's Wendy here with today's Gem of Inspiration for you!

For my cards I've used the brilliant new set of Keep Calm Digi's

From pinkgemdesigns

I think they are perfect for quick and easy Christmas cards,

There are 3 Keep Calms in the set and you get

A black version, a white version and a coloured set,

I've used the white set and then layered them onto

Shades Digi Papers

Then Die cut them using "Floral Ovals" Nestabilities 

Thanks for stopping by today,

Ginger with Candy Cane Christmas

Heres something different from me (Christine) today, I have been playing with 

the NEW "Ginger Set digi stamps" Janet has been designing..

These are soooo easy to use, I  printed off a pre coloured image, added 

some stickles here & there..they make gorgeous quick Xmas cards, you also

 get black outlined images in the set to colour yourself...

The cute Gingersnap digi papers are so easy to print off  & such colourful designs..

Just when you need something new & diff. card shape is a scallop rocker.

Some Grand Nestie dies HERE  distressed 1st layer then matt & layered 

with nestie shapes.. even the Xmas stamp is another PG digi HERE

Another Ginger Christmas

I have also used some of the Ginger designs for my inspiration card today, they are great fun to work with.

Also using Ginger with Garland, I have used Kraft card for layering and die cuts, ink round the edges and added some gold Stickles to the tree and snowflakes.

Ginger Christmas

I really do need to get on with some Christmas cards....this one is for baby Jacks second Christmas as he will be one in December.

Well I am very pleased with my new Ginger designs and the papers printed out beautifully as you can see from the photos.

No colouring here though as I used the pre coloured png image which comes with the digi stamp (you do get a blackline image so you can colour yourself) great for when you're short on time....and I don't seem to have enough hours in the day at the moment.

I layered some of the paper from the 'Gingersnap'  digital paper pack behind the image 'Ginger with Garland' in my graphic software  programme and printed them out. I also printed a second ginger the same size on it's own so I could decoupage him a little bit.

Now don't let the thought of using graphic software frighten you as it is really quite easy and there are a few programmes out there that you can download for free. Any image editing software that supports layers will do.

I cut out the image with my Nestabilities A2 Matting Basics A......I used the largest rectangle as it's nice and big. I love this set so much I am going to get the Matting Basics B which nests with it.

I made the frame from my Grand Labels 23 (this is a 8"x8" card)

The Christmas Candy Calendar Sentiment is also new which I designed to match the 'Ginger' range and cut out with my Standard Circle Nestabilities

What do you think to my new  die Cheery Lynn Snowflake 5 this is so elegant....cuts beautifully and just falls out of the die on it's own.....no struggling like some of the other fancy dies on the market :)

I cut some of the pinwheel candy from the spare paper using my circle nesties again and added some card candy to the centres....and here it is!

Good morning lovely crafters,

It's Donna here and it's my turn today to share a little something I have made using products from Pink Gem.

I've used this gorgeous new digital image Angel Jodie and she has been coloured in using Promarker's.

I've also used some of Pink Gem's digital design papers and I have to tell that these papers are amazing to work with. The colours print beautifully and most of the sets can be co-ordinated with each other.

For my card I've used Corrugated Effect, Distressed Ginghams and Strawberries

Thank you so much for stopping by Gems of Inspiration today...be sure to check out the Pink Gem store, Janet is adding new images all the time and there are so many tempting treats to purchase...be prepared to stay a while

Mummy Josh!!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I'm super late with this today but at last I am here with a little inspiration using the brand new Mummy Josh Digi from Pink Gem designs, isn't he the cutest?

I have made a halloween tin just ready to put some goodies in for a special treat!

Both Josh and the Trick or treat label are available as digi Downloads from Pink Gem Designs.

For more details on everything I have used please pop by my blog!

Thanks and hugs

Jodie with Baubles

Hi, hope you're having a nice relaxing Sunday and enjoying a browse around blogland with your cup of tea/coffee :-)

The countdown to Christmas has begun with only 78 crafting days to go.  The shops have started to stock their shelves and I even saw Santa and a snowman walking through the city centre the other lunch time "ho, ho, ho'ing".  I think it's bit early for that don't you, they'll lose their voices by the time the big day gets here.  

Anyway back to my card!  I've decided to go for an aperature card which has been cut with a scalloped oval nestie and added an vellum overlay too.  It was really simple to make and I think it sets off this gorgeous image from Pink Gem Designs called Jodie with Baubles beautifully. There are loads of images to choose from either in digi form or stamps with complimentary papers too so why not pop over and have a look.  Just think of all those special Christmas cards you've got to make!

Thanks for looking today and hope you continue to enjoy your browse around blogland.  Why not check out our current challenge over at A Gem of a Challenge where the current theme is "for the girls"

xx Happy crafting and glittery hugs xx
