Didn't My Girls Do Well?

A few weeks ago I was asked by  'Creative Cardmaking' if I would like to provide papers, toppers, and die cut images to use as their give away in Issue 39

So I quickly got to work

I designed the A4 advert on the left myself....I was quite pleased with it :)

Some examples of the free gift....I am really pleased as the print quality of these are amazing and the paper is nice and thick :)

Four of my wonderful DT girls  Mandy, Jenny, Lisa Nowacki and Lisa Baker made samples for the magazine      

using the free gift....this is spread over 8 pages!

The work they did was absolutely stunning........I am so proud to have them on my team!

ps It's only available at Craft Stores....The Glitterpot have it and they have free postage until midnight tonight

A7 Set - Comes with separate sentiment

I know most of you seem to like digi stamps these days but there are a lot of people who do like the feel of an actual stamp in their inky little hands lol!

We at Pink Gem Designs like to listen to what all of our customers have to say.....so we have had some of our most popular digis produced as POLYMER stamps.

They are due to arrive with us on Friday afternoon..... but as we will only have a few we have put them on the website now for pre-order because when they are gone they are gone!

Please note that any other items ordered at the same time will be sent to you when the stamps arrive :)

You can find the new stamps for pre - order here

If there are any other digis that you would like to see as a polymer stamp please leave a comment and let us know.......

Raining Hearts Tilda

It was my birthday yesterday so I decided I was going to spend the afternoon in my craftroom and have a good play!

Running PGD takes up most of my time and I don't get as much time to spend on crafting as I would like.

So yesterday I thought I would switch off from the business and the housework and have some proper me time.

Time to roll up my sleeves and get 'arty farty' 

This card took me ALL afternoon to make and at one point I felt very dissapointed  with  it but then I managed to pull it back and now I quite like it :)

You will notice something different about him here though as he has had a sex change and is now called Dilly lol
