'Thank You'

Good afternoon, Pamela here.  Hope everyone has enjoyed their Christmas and have managed to keep clear of the bugs.  It is my turn to show some inspiration and have decided to do a batch of 'Thank You' cards.

I have used Faye with Flowers available as a digi download from the Pink Gem website, and they are reduced in price at the moment.  I love this image as it is so useful for all occasions. I have used the pre coloured version, when you purchase the images you get a coloured version and black line to colour as you wish.  I have used a plain backgound which I have embossed and inked the edges and diecut the lacy square.

Here's wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Snowdrops and Crocus

Good morning everyone and welcome to my first post here on the Gems of Inspiration blog - I hope you like the cards that I'm sharing with you today.

I decided to go for something non-Christmas and these cards are made with two beautiful floral digi stamps from Pink Gem.  The first one is the 'Snowdrops' digi stamp which you can find here on the website.  I've also used one of the 'Micro Dots Digi Papers' which you can find here on the website.  The sentiment I've used is from the 'Funky Flowers' stamp set.

Next I used the 'Crocus' digi stamp which you can find here on the website and another of the papers from the 'Micro Dots Digi Papers' collection.  Again, the sentiment is from the 'Funky Flowers' stamp set.

Enjoy your weekend and I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

A Little Gift Bag

Good morning everyone.

It's Debbie here today and it's my turn to share something crafty with you. 

Now I must admit to being a little fed up with making Christmas cards so I thought I would have a go at a little gift bag.

And here it is.

Side View

I used this sweet digi image from Pink Gem Designs called Robin With Mistletoe to use on the gift tag. I coloured the image using Promarkers and the papers are from my scraps box. I used my circle and scalloped circle nesties for the tag and the border punch is from Martha Stewart. I finished off by adding some Stickles to the little robin's hat, a pearl for the Mistletoe berry and liquid pearls for the snow flakes.

I found the tutorial for this cute little gift bag here.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Cute Pop-up Gift Card/Money Wallet

Good Morning Everyone

It’s Sue here today with my first inspirational post for Pink Gem Designs.

I would like to show you a fun gift card/money wallet that I made using one of Pink Gem Designs cute penguins from the Pink Gem Designs Penguin set 2  and the fabulous coordinating digital papers from Pink Gem Designs Licorice Ice

I also printed out some of the wonderful Christmas Frames and coloured the edges with my Promarkers to match.

For the design I followed a tutorial which I found here, just changing the measurement slightly. 

Here is what it looks like folded up:

The part where the money or gift card is placed is cut using a spellbinders die which are also available to buy at Pink Gem Designs.

I used one of  the Pink Gem Designs frames for a place to write on.

I attached the image to a piece of stretchy cord which is secured underneath the image

Digi papers -Pink Gem Designs Licorice Ice

*** Keep Calm ***

Good morning lovely crafters

It's Donna here and it's my turn to share a little something with you.  I've chosen 3 different 'Keep Calm' Christmas images from the Pink Gem Designs store and they have been printed directly onto patterned papers.

It can be a nightmare at this time of year making so many Christmas Cards and for me it's definitely all about KEEPING CALM ahead of the big day on the 25th!

I have a batch of 30 quick Christmas cards to share with you. I've long given up attempting to make 30 different cards all in different designs...this is much less stressful and everyone gets the same...simples!
