Updated and new products today

Just a few new products and some updated ones is what we have in store for you today!
Some of you may be wondering why there are new products when I am on a "break".  I really AM on a break, my break is from a regular and rigid schedule.
During this time while I am free from any obligation, I find that there are either older images which I have a personal need for a pre-colored image for a card or there are new images that I have a personal need for, and so I get to work on updating products or creating new ones at my leisure, rather than have to stick to a schedule.
So it is just less stress on my part and a little more carefree, and in my opinion, better looking images are the result.

So firstly, I have re-digitally colored the Winter Bear and the Baking Bear.  I had a need for these cuddly little guys on some digital material, and I really wanted the digital color graphic image to appear more soft and plush and without the black lines. 
NOTE if you have purchased the original COLORED versions (or if you received them while serving on the Doodle Pantry Design Team), you are entitled to receive these updated color versions for FREE. You just need to follow the instructions below.
1. Find your order number by logging into your doodlepantry.com account where the product was purchased
2. Email me your order number, OR you can email me and tell me your account username and I can look it up for you.
3. If you are a Past Design Team member and you have the older or original color version of a now RE-colored product, just send me an email and include a link to a specific post on your blog where you created something with it, and I will be sure you get the updated product.

BAKING BEAR UPDATED COLOR

WINTER BEAR UPDATED COLOR

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BIG BEAR HUG - this image is the same style bear as in the above 2 sets, and I had sort of forgotten about this image that was drawn some years ago for a CDS stamp.  I found it recently among my files on my computer and immediately had to have these hugging bears for a card I wanted to do, so I created the color versions in the same fuzzy appearance as the baking and winter bears above, and added digital papers.

DAHLIA - this is another long lost file from CDS days... I have had it in my "found" files for a couple months and finally was able to get it ready for a complete product kit.

SNOWY EGRET - NEW IMAGE!

The Snowy Egret is a common site in the area of Texas where I live and we love seeing them in the french drains along the side of the road or the little marshes or river bank edges.

What I really like about this image is that you can color it to be MANY different marine birds in the Egret/Heron/Crane family.  The Snowy Egret shape and proportions are similar enough to the Great Blue or Purple or Western Reef Herons, the Whooping or Sandhill Cranes, or a Great Egret to pass as being colored as one of them.

STAND IN FAITH - NEW SENTIMENT SET!

I have been keeping a list of Scriptures that I have wanted to have in digital form for several months and finally put them into a set.  I decided to include some papers in the set so that they could be used as the focus.

DID YOU KNOW?  You can SEARCH the shop for specific Scriptures to see if I have the one you want!  Just go to Product Search and enter the FULL book name and the chapter and/or verse.  You can search for just a chapter or a chapter and verse, but it has to be specific for instance, Psalm Chapter 54 and Verse 2 must be typed like this,  Psalm 54:2

Or if you want to see if there are any verses in the book of Isaiah, just search for Isaiah, fully spelled out.

Mother's Day cards colored with Copics

Here are 2 mother's day cards using the Gazania image and the sentiment is from Tulip Wreath.
Hopefully to inspire you to get crafty!

I have been continuing trying my hand at the copic coloring.  I certainly still need more practice.  I'll be searching for some official online videos for more details on techniques, but I like how these turned out even without the expert knowledge.
I kept the card designs simple since there was so much going on in the floral images.

Here's the first one in purples.

Here's the second one in oranges.

Missing You and sentiment from Cupcake Ants

We have 5 new products today!

I'm on a bit of a "vacation" from a regular schedule on new products, so I have not released much in the past several weeks.

HOWEVER today I do have 5 products that I have been inspired to create on my own time and not for any kind of schedule.  I like the products better when they aren't done for a rigid time frame, but rather just in a recreational time frame.

FIRSTLY, I need to address that one of these products is a DIGITALLY RE-COLORED product.  This means that it was previously offered as a digitally colored set, but I didn't really like the original color images.  So I have re-colored them with better painting techniques and I like the outcome much better now.  The old set if you still have it, still applies to all terms and conditions and cannot be shared, and will not be available to purchase.
PELICAN DREAMS COLOR+ UPDATED (click to go to shop page and see Creative Team creations)

VERY IMPORTANT:  IF YOU PURCHASED THE OLDER COLOR VERSION of the PELICAN DREAMS COLOR+, you are entitled to receive this new set at NO COST.  But you MUST follow this certain procedure to prove you made the purchase:

1. Login to your Doodlepantry.com account and go to account maintenance and look at your order history in the middle of the screen
2. Browse through your order numbers, you might have to click VIEW next to each order to look inside each one
3. Find the order with the Pelican Dreams Color on it
4. Email me directly with the order number that it was on
5. The new product will be ADDED to your old order number and you will be given instructions on how to download it directly from the shop site while logged into your account

If you cannot remember your password to your account, I can search your orders for you, but you must be able to tell me the EMAIL that is listed on your account (or email me from that same email) and also tell me the city, state you live in.  I will then search your orders for you, if the Pelican Dreams Color+ (original) is there, I will give you a new password and instruct you how to retrieve your new product download.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our next product for today is CUTE CRAWLIES.   (click to go to shop page and see Creative Team creations)
These images were actually previously drawn by me for CDS polymer stamps, which has closed business. The images became Doodle Pantry property, so I decided to compile them into a digital set not previously offered as digital.

A lot of great little sentiments and fun to color images.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TEXAS CARD SVG CUT and PNG  (click to go to shop page and see Creative Team creations)
For the Texas lover and maybe even could be suited for little boys sheriff themes as well!

This set includes SVG files to import into your e-cutting software for cutting, OR you can use the PNG images to layer and clip digital patterns to for digital scrapbooking!  So many uses for this set.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GAZANIA COLOR+   (click to go to shop page and see Creative Team creations)

This set was previously offered as outlines only.  The outlines only set will be removed from the shop and only this new combined set (which includes outlines) will be offered from now on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GINKGO LEAVES COLOR+  (click to go to shop page and see Creative Team creations)

This set was previously offered as outlines only.  The outlines only set will be removed from the shop and only this new combined set (which includes outlines) will be offered from now on.
