Ruby's Rainbow: Get Well

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; Silvi has chosen our challenge which is "Get Well".  Sounds good...it's always wise to keep this type of card in your stash!

I've combined some cheery patterned paper with a Doodle Pantry image, which I have paper pieced and added a touch of glitter.  I've embellished simply with ribbon and a button.

The set has line art, pre-colored images, sentiments, plain, and patterned papers.  I used a pre-colored digi and added some glitter to the cotton candy.  The sketch is from Retro Sketches and I've embellished simply with twine and Swarovski flatback crystals.

Wheeeee!

Good morning!  Today I am playing along with my old teamies from Tuesday Morning Sketches; Doodle Pantry is the sponsor this week, so how could I not play?!

It's a great sketch this week and it paired perfectly with Charlie Sledding.  Something about the non-traditional yellow/blue color combo spoke to me...what a fun twist for a winter card!  I used a pre-colored image, along with a sentiment and patterned paper from the set.  I've embellished simply with brads and a sparkly, layered snowflake.  They sure look like they are having fun sliding down the hill...maybe I should work in some sledding this winter...the kids would love it!

There is No Udder Friend Like You

Good morning!  In addition to Release Day, we have a fun, new challenge for you at Doodle Pantry: Ants in My Pantry Digital Challenge.  Our theme for January is "Milk Day" and we would like to see you use or feature something associated with milk, along with buttons or brads.

I've used a new set called Udder Fun Ants, which includes line art, sentiments, pre-colored images, and patterned papers.  It's a fun set!  I wanted to focus on the blush-toned udder, so I kept the rest of the card monochromatic.  I've done a bit of layering and embellished simply with brads.  The sketch is a past one from Mojo Monday.

Dolphin Carousel

I'm back again with a card using one of the August Doodle Pantry sets, Carousel Dolphin (This is the 11th in the Carousel Series!).  The set includes line art, pre-colored images, sentiments, and papers.

I used a pre-colored image and one of the papers (I really love Laurie's stripes!)  I used the sketch from House that Stamps Built and embellished simply with brads...I like how crisp and clean this one looks with the white cardbase and bright colors.

Balloon Ants

Good morning!  It's time for a new sketch from the ladies at Tuesday Morning Sketches...our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry!  Here is our sketch:

I used a fun pre-colored digi called Balloon Ants.  I love the variety of colors and the matching dotted papers, it makes cardmaking fast and easy!  I've done a bit of distressing to the patterned paper and image panel, then added brads and a snippet of ribbon for embellishing.  I also dotted the eyes with a black gel pen for definition.

What's Up?

Good morning!  I have a card to share that I made last week...yes, last week!  How does time get away like that?  Doodle Pantry sponsored last Thursday's Creative Knockouts "Furry Friends" challenge; while my card was posted on the D.P. blog, I hadn't posted here yet.

I used an adorable pre-colored image called Jiggles Giraffe; the set includes outlines, pre-colored images, sentiments, and patterned papers.  I paired the image with some paper from my stash; I wanted to highlight the pretty bow, but wanted a bit of yellow too.  (The third time is a charm...that's how many tries it took to get this right!  LOL  I kept picking out color combos, cutting the papers, and then deciding "No, that's not it!")  I printed an extra bow, cut it out, and popped it up for a little extra "oomph"; I added some mesh and brads for embellishing.

Love and Care

Hello, I'm back again with a new challenge from Sweet Stampin'...this week the theme is flowers and Wild Orchid is the sponsor.  Fun challenge...I love making flowers!

I printed a sentiment from Doodle Pantry on Kraft CS...I love the pretty combo of fonts!  For my flowers, I have made some felt roses and embellished them with Swarovski flatback crystals.  I think the bright, cheery colors paired with the sentiment will really brighten the recipient's day!

Cool Cash

It's the first of the month so that means it's time for a new release from Doodle Pantry!  I'm working with a fun set called Cool Cash; the set includes outlines, pre-colored images, sentiments, and patterned/plain colored papers.

As I was working on this, I was thinking of the new Muppet movie...I had asked the kids if they wanted to go, but they declined.  I guess at ages 13 and 15 the Muppets may not be too appealing!  LOL  I really did want to go....  I went with a pre-colored image and one of the patterned papers; I was channeling Miss Piggy and decided that I needed to add some feminine touches...ribbon and pearls....  Just for fun!

Tip: Since the background paper is fairly dark, you could see it through the ribbon.  I simply adhered a piece of vanilla CS underneath the ribbon on the left side; there is no need to add any on the right since I gathered the ribbon.  It's an easy fix and it really does give the finished card a more polished look.  Take a peek at the photos below to see the difference.

UR Amazing

Good morning!  I was able to play along with the Split Coast Stampers sketch challenge yesterday; it had been a long time since I'd played, so it was fun!  Here are the details and sketch.

I used a fun set from Doodle Pantry, called "A-maze-ing Words 1".  Laurie has a bunch of cute mazes to choose from...I think they are really fun for kids' cards.  The image is printed on DP, die cut, and layered onto my card base with a banner and some Bella Dots.  Voila'...a quick and easy card for a teen!

Doodle Pantry March Release

Good morning!  Doodle Pantry has an exciting new release; there is a great selection of stamp sets which include images, sentiments, and DP, coordinating SVG shapes, and darling mazes.  There is truly something for everyone!

Today I am working with Purse Parfait...I'm a purse fan and I loved the colors.  The set has an awesome selection of purses in different styles, sentiments, and colorful papers.  I went with a pre-colored image, layered it for dimension, then added a bit of glitter.  The background actually consists of 4 squares, but you can't tell because of the angle of the image panel.  I've also added a bit of cheesecloth for texture.

Stamp Set: Doodle Pantry Purse Parfait
Ink: Printer, SU! Black and Lavender Lace Markers
Paper: PTI Winter Wisteria, SU! Taken With Tea
Embellies: Art Glitter in "Angel Dust", Cheesecloth

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day; I hope you have some fun plans for the day!  I love making Valentine cards so I thought I would whip up one more today; I found some fun challenges and paired them with Doodle Pantry's Kissy Lips set, along with the Mojo Monday sketch.

I've used a pre-colored image and a sentiment from the set; there is also line art and patterned papers too.  The lips are printed and fussy cut then adhered to a die cut tag.  I've embellished the card with some twill, a button, and some Swarovski flatbacks (they are red, but appear dark in the photo).
