New hÄnglar girl

EDIT: Sunlight, second time in a row. Can you believe it? LOL Spring is getting here, slowly but surely. The rhinestone shows its true color better on the flash picture though... strange little bugger.



I received my hÄnglar kit 26 yesterday around noon and something happened that very rarely does happen with me. I had to ink this little cutie up right away and make a card LOL.
I couldn't take any pictures of it anymore when I was finished and for today I am still not able to take a non flash daylight picture, but perhaps later. It looks like we'll have a clear and bright afternoon.

Making this card I followed a sketch, a color combination and a theme and I therefore will submit to the following challenges:

Just Magnolia and hÄngalr & stÄnglar - Mina's Sketch

Colour Create Challenge - Chocolate, Strawberry and Cream

Stamp Something - Something for your Valentine

As I don't send out cards for Valentine I chose a sentiment that would go with a birthday as well, but I think it would still also qualify as a valentine card ;o)

Recipe:

Stamps: hÄnglar & stÄnglar, LotV
Inks: Tuxedo Memento Black, Distress Ink Walnut Stain & Brushed Cuduroy
Cardstock: Bazzil, pearlescent card and white no-name
Design Paper: Nitwit, the lighter one is from the Affection Too kit, the darker one I just don't remember right now.
Coloring: Copics and Spica Glitter Pens

Flowers: Wild Orchid Craft
Ribbon: The red one is from Crafty Ribbon, the brown one from a local drugstore.
Dies & Punches: Spellbinders and SU Word Label Punch
Other: Cream flatback pearls and a red flatback rhinestone.

A little hÄnglar love

EDIT Feb 9th: Small miracles do actually happen! The sun is shining like mad today and I managed to take this picture about 3 minutes ago. Yay! Look how my card suddenly doesn't look all dull and cold anymore. I wish that would happen more often, sigh.




A card, as promised. Bad pictures als always LOL.

I got my new Magnolia Dies yesterday and was finally able to add the finishing touches to this card. It's the first one for a really long time without any flower whatsoever, but all the ore hearts to compansate *gg*

I'll enter the following challanges with this card:

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Let's see some love

Stamp with fun - Liebe/Love

Stamptacular Sunday - Hearts Gone Wild

Allsorts Challenge - It must be love, love, love

Stampin' for the Weekend - Valentines Day

Just Magnolia & hÄnglar Challenge - Anything goes, but add some ribbon

Simon Says Challenge - Love is in the air

The Crafty Pad - Love is in the air

Die kreativen Stempelfreunde - Valentine

Double Dutch - Love is in the air

Papertake Weekly - Have a Heart

Creative Card Crew - For a Loved One

Everybody Art Challenge - Valentine

Cards and More - Herzen

Wow, I think I've never entered even half so many challenges with just one card. I mean, not that it's really my accomplishment, more dumb luck that so many fab challenge blogs chose the theme of love instead of sketches or recipes, but I love it anyway. I wish I would manage more challenges per week, I'm just too slow, so I'll savor this one ;o)

hÄnglar bookmark

Good morning everyone.

I couldn't take any halfway decent pictures of this bookmark when I finished it yesterday, but it went slightly better this morning. I still need to build something with a daylight lightsource to take pictures. This is really a problem.

Okay, what have a done here? A bookmark, obviously, tag style. I used the Tim Holtz Tag & Bookplates die for the base, a great buy, which I highly recommend for anyone who does a lot of tags or bookmarks, as it also gives you the opportunity to cut another tag out of your design paper, like I did for this bookmark. I just cut off a few additional mm around the edges to let the base cardstock show and that was it.
The die even cuts those rings around the hole. I embossed it using silver embossing powder, to give it a more solid, metal look.

I was one of the few lucky ones to get her hands on hÄnglar kit 20. This beauty is from that kit. Isn't she just gorgeous? I still wonder why they didn't put it on ebay again, but instead kept throwing kit 19 and 18 at us *scratches head*

This bookmark will also be my submission for the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge.

Recipe card

My last November project. This recipe card was made for the recipe ketting at the Stempel-Café. Theme was our most favourite cookie recipe. These Caramel Apple Cookies really are kind of famous already. Every time I bring them to any gathering I am handing out the recipe afterwards *lol*
I've never met anyone who didn't love it, which is really amazing, if you ask me.

If anyone needs an English translation of th recipe, let me know.
