Den's Crafty Den

Been a week since my last update, every now and again I have to do housework!!!!

Went to Coventry last Thursday as Shane was off school due to the voting, so we took him to Ikea to pick the colour of the shelves he's having in his room....but before we went to Ikea we went to Stampezee, a friend had recommended that I go there. As usual I spent far too much money. I bought some clear stamps by Pink Gem Designs, which I have to admit I'd never heard of. These aren't on stampezee's website but can be bought directly from Pink Gem.

Penny Black 'A Touch' coloured with Promarkers. Image is on 'Pointy Frames' by Go Kreate. Backing paper 'Amethyst Infusion' from Papermania 6x6 pad. Ribbon from stash, and card punched with Floral Lace punch from Martha Stewart. The punched card is lilac but doesn't photograph very well.


Paper was a freebie from Crafts Beautiful magazine and is also available to download from their site. Image is 'Jack & teddy' from Pink Gem Designs, card candy and greeting from Craftwork Cards, I added the '5' to it. Scalloped circle done with a nestie. Image was coloured with Promarkers I didn't want to go too over the top with this, as it was for a 5 year old boy and I doubt very much if he'd be interested in what his card would look like, toys are far more important :)


Sugar Nellie 'Pen Pal' coloured with Promarkers, floral paper 'Flower Patch' Making Memories 6x6 pad, the spotty/plaid is double sided and from my stash. Flowers by HOTP, and card candy from Craftwork cards.


Image as before, watercoloured with Sakura Stardust pens. Basic Grey 6x6 pad, 'Praline' from the Bittersweet range, punched with Scalloped Lace/Threading Water from Fiskars. I went over the stamped greeting with black stardust pen. Tag was punched with a Sizzix thick cut die.



A very quick and easy card to do. Image from Butterfly Kisses 'Miss Ellie' coloured with Promarkers.
