Another Attitude

Another image from my new Hanglar stamps.

The papers are digital from Nitwit.  I love their whimsical style.

Attitude

A few years ago, I "found" this stamp company while surfing the internet.  It is called Hanglar and is based in Norway.  People images being my favorite stamp type, I instantly fell in love with these adorable images.  Coloring them is a delight, and they make up into great cards!  Unfortunately, they were unavailable for purchase to the United States.  You had to be in Norway or Sweeden and from what I understand, they had to be paid for in the local currency.  Woe was me!!!  I was able to get a few stamped images from an online Norweigan friend, but that was only a temporary "fix."  I would check to see the new images that I could NOT get, and convince myself that I was lucky that I could at least get some of the Magnolia brand which are somewhat like these. Much to my amazement, and bringing tears to my eyes, I was given a "Christmas" stamp set from a dear friend.  I don't know how she did it (she does have family in Scotland?) but imagine my surprise when I opened the package to find some of the longed for Hanglar images. Thanks, Kirsteen. you're the best!  It was a dream come true, and something I had never even imagined.

 Then one sunny morning, I received an email in a language I could not understand.  I figured it was some sort of spam and didn't pay attention. (wrong move)  Then a couple months ago, when checking Hanglar for new images, much to my amazement, there had been a trememdous change.  It was then that I realized the email was to notify me that they were now selling the stamps to customers here in the good ole USA!!!  I immediately selected a set, went through checkout to PayPal, and in about ten days or so, the stamps were in my hot little hands!!  The set I chose was called "Attitude" and has three girl images.  This is my favorite (today, anyway)--I like her bold stance.  You will see the other two images in days to come.

These next four cards were all made with some images I got from a sweet friend in Norway, Heidi. The are from Hanglar and I LOVE all their images. Unfortunately we are unable to purchase them here in the United States--drat!! On this card I used a couple of my Nestabilities to make the scalloped edges on my layering. I punched the little circles and layered them with a button on the corners. Pink and brown are so popular together right now. I just happened to have the ribbon that almost matched my paper.

I again used my Nestabilities--I use them soooo much--to cut the image out and the blue layer.

I added one of the pretty Prima flowers to embellish the card.

A very sweet lady sent me this image. It is from a company in Norway called Hanglar. Unfortunately, we cannot buy them in the United States! I colored it with Whispers markers.

The fancy border on the green is from a Fiskars punch.
