The Crafter’s Lament

I think I’ve caught the latest bug, though I’m far from feeling down.
I haven’t got a fever, I’m just a mad old cow.
My bug is quite infectious, and has changed my very life.
You see, I used to have a husband – and he used to have a wife.

It started with a die stamp, but then I bought some more.
I decided that a shoe box, would make an ideal store.
Then as I added inks and pens, my stamping collection grew.
So I bought a sturdy plastic crate, it would last for years, I knew.

Embossing then became my thing with powders and a heat gun,
Metallics, tinsels, pearls and clear; I soon had every one
By now my lovely plastic crate was spilling everywhere
And my glitter glue collection lay scattered on a chair.

My husband started muttering and said things would have to stop
So I bought a huge old wardrobe from the local charity shop.
But after just a little while, I couldn’t shut the door.
Thus, I put up shelves in the spare room, to accommodate yet more!

My bug became my addiction, and spread throughout the house.
Quietly sneaking from room to room  - just like a little mouse.
My husband couldn’t cope, said the cards would go or him.
Well it wasn’t a difficult choice – so now he lives in Lymn.

Then I found this place called Girlie Pink, that sells digi stamps online.
You can download, resize and print them, there’s hundreds of designs.
There are no storage issues, no wood nor plastics too,
so I binned all the old ones,  and bought them all a new.

Now my home is back to normal, though hubby is still away,
Somehow I’ve forgot to tell him, so he cannot stop my play
I enjoy the peace and quiet, it gives me time for thought
By the way, have I shown you, the latest digi stamp I’ve bought…………

Can't Find The Right Words?

Let me guess... You want to give someone a special card or gift and you have a box full of wooden and acrylic stamps - but none of them say the words you want to express? And you don’t have the programs or technical wizardry to create a top notch design on your own computer? Don’t worry, it’s a familiar story! That’s why at Girlie Pink we are in the process of creating a databank of digital graphic images or ‘expressions’ that you’ll soon be able to download, resize and re-use to your heart’s content. Hopefully, there will be something in it for everyone  - for almost every occasion. But if you still can’t find exactly what you want, panic not, we’ll be offering a bespoke design service too.

To request a special design or be the first to see our new digital 'expressions', join our mailing list now. Simply reply to sally@girliepink.com and before we launch them publically, we’ll give you a personal link to the designs!

Workshops

We are in the process of planning some workshops in and around Thirsk, North Yorkshire.  If you're interested in finding out more, please email us with your name and contact details as well as an idea of the types of workshops you'd be interested in.  For example, using digistamps, shaped cards, techniques, scrapbooking or in fact anything to do with cards and scrapbook pages.   Email sally@girliepink.com.  We're looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you at a workshop very soon

Character Based Digi Stamps

Here are some examples of our character based digi stamps. These are just part of our ‘Cool Cat’ range of stamps – and are based on the activities of my own cat “Pickle”. (Bless him.) The full range of Cool Cat digi stamps will soon be available at www.girliepink.com for you to download, resize, print & colour. But if you can’t find the right image for your card there – we can always create one for you! Contact us here or via the website to discuss your requirements

Have you ever thought of using digi stamps for your cards and scrapbooking?

Digi stamps are such a low cost option and so easy to store! They are saved into a folder on your PC so you no longer need boxes and boxes of wooden and acrylic stamps.

How often have you looked for a stamp which you know is there... somewhere, but where? Or conversely, how often have you found a stamp which you’d forgotten you’ve got?

How often have you found the perfect wooden or acrylic stamp only to discover it’s too big or too small for your project? With digi stamps, just resize, print and colour – what could be simpler?

Why not let modern technology work for you? Don’t work harder – work smarter!
