Cookie-Bag-Tags :-) .......delicous

Hi everyone,
maybe you missed my sunday-video? And also on the next sunday there will be no video. But today you have my compensation for this :-) 

The last week I had off and used my free time to bake some christmas-cookies. Maybee you already have seen all my cookies on instagram.
My mom is my big idol. Every year she does a thousands (nearly) of christmas-cookies and give them away for friends, teachers of her water-gym, post-men/women, families and nearly everybody she is meeting in christmas-time. I thinks she does 26 varieties. And during the years I followed her example and now everybody is waiting for my cookie-bags... but I only do 8 varieties.. hihi

And now I thought, all these cookie-bags are a good cause for my new create-a-smile-video :-)

Watch the Video in english

This Video is in German

Try something new... I always colored my snowmen in light-blue. But why not trying doing it violet? Beige? soft-cold-green? 

Some of the Stamps-Sets are going to be out of stock with NO restocking. So if you think about buying maybe "floating chevrons" or "smiling snowflakes" you need to do it NOW. And also these stamps are a little bit cheaper now ;-)

Stencil as a focal point

Hey you all, Anni here!
Are you having a wonderful weekend? Do you have some time for crafting?

For today's card I knew I wanted to use the snowmen stencil! This is such an unique stencil as you cannot only use it for a background but also as a focal point on your card! That is what I wanted to try on my card!

• Place the stencil where you want the snowmen on your card and dabb some white pigment ink over it. Leave the hat out!
• Cover the rest of the snowmen with post it tape or something similar and use versamark ink on the hat! Emboss it with black embossing powder!
• Cut two noses from orange paper and use black pearls as eyes!
• Add a snowbank so the snowmen have something to "stand on"!
• Add a sentiment!

• Be careful with the white pigment ink as it takes a loooooonnng time to dry!
• If you don't have black pearls you can use your alcohol markers to color the pearls you have in whatever color you need!
• My versamark ink pad was quiet juicy! So I ended up with an uneven edge on my hat! I fixed it with a black marker and no one will ever know!
• I added a stripe of orange paper to my sentiment to bring the card together! Before the sentiment looked a little lost floating in the upper right corner!
