New releases have arrived!

Hello and good morning!!

May is our official month of going down to one product release each month, and I have been busily working to make it a plentiful one!   Our next challenge posts directly after this one.

But first I want to thank you all!  I have met so many wonderful and crafty people over the last year.  I have been blessed to get to know some of you better, and I am always tickled at all those who play the challenge post their links to projects using Doodle Pantry images! 
I hope we can continue to share our creativity with each other and that we all can bless others with our handmade cards and projects.

GO TO BIRDIE BABIES

A tweet baby birdie girl and boy images, set includes 4 sentiments

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

GO TO MOTHER SHEEP & LAMB

I couldn't resist pairing a baby lamb with the mother sheep, they look so cuddly together!  Also can be used for friendship. 

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

GO TO HOLY LAND FLOWERS 1 (Star of Bethlehem & camel's thorn)

This is the first set of 3 which consists of flowers that grow in Insrael, and include scriptures and religious sentiments.  The star of bethlehem is a beautiful white 6 petal flower that grows in clusters.  The Camel's thorn is also called Persian Manna plant and/or Camelgrass.  It has long sharp thorns on which the prettiest of delicate flowers bud off from.  The plant looks like a weed and grows in tall skinny stems. When I saw this thorny plant, I imagined it might be the type of thorny plant that was shaped and placed on Christ's head on the cross.

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

GO TO HUCKLEBERRIES

I grew up in Washington state where there are woodsy mountain areas that harbor wild berry plants, like the huckleberry.  It is similar to a blueberry but has a distinct flavor and is actually in a different plant class.  I had to include the old slang saying "I'll be your huckleberry" and it more commonly means "I am the right person for your task" or "I am the one for you". Doc Holliday was known to have used this phrase, although I don't think he coined it.

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

GO TO GIFT BUNNY

I love the Big Hug Bunny so much that I had to have him holding/giving a carrot too!

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

GO TO SANTA ACCESSORIES

This was a request by a Design Team member.  She wanted santa hats for many of the Doodle Pantry characters.  There are also presents that can be used individually.

HOW TO USE: There will be a post focusing on this after this post.   Place your character image first, then insert (or add layer) the PNG file of the santa hat you want to use and position it over the head until it looks like it is in the right spot.  In rare instances, you may need to edit/erase away parts of the character head, but I tried to draw them so that you wouldn't have to do that.

EXAMPLES OF THE HATS PLACED OVER TOP CHARACTERS

My Design Team also have told me that the Sheep hat can be used on the Sweet giraffe too!

GO TO NEW HAPPY BIRDIE B (w/ pre colored version)

I wanted to re-do the original Happy Birdie with rounded feathers and also inlcude a lime green digitally colored version.

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

 The challenge is posted right after this post, so we hope you'll play along with us!

Make a joyful noise!

Hello, wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Here is my creation using one of the newest releases, French Horn.  I wanted a musical instrument that I could use for general music themed cards, or for holidays/special occasions.  So the digital set includes a foliage and ribbon adorned natural horn, as well as an undecorated horn, and several general use sentiments.
My Card:
I chose to keep the berries white like mistletoe, and make a holiday card.  I LOVE the new Basic Grey Jovial papers!
I used the EK medium rock fern punch for accenting behind the bow and of course some teeny tiny jingle bells tied with thread around the bow.

 

The image is printed on 90 lb. Canson watercolor paper.  I watercolored the horn using Tombow markers and a waterbrush.  The only marker that was not Tombow, was the burgundy color for the bow, that is a SU burgundy marker.  For the hint of teal background,  I added just a very small amount of 373 Tombow in a few select areas around the horn and watercolored it out with a generous amount of water.  I didn't want to make that color too strong, just really light. If you look closely, you can see where I added the 373 Tombow color.... those areas are just a tad darker near the edges of the horn.

I also used a white gel pen on the brass parts after the entire image was completely dry.  This helped make the horn shiny.

SUPPLIES:

• DIGITAL IMAGE: French Horn from Doodle Pantry
• CS/PAPER: Canson 90 lb. watercolor paper, CDS red velvet cake, CDS wild ginger, CDS spring leaf, Basic grey Jovial DP
• INK: CDS wild ginger, Tombow markers 373, 946, 991, 177, SU bravo burgundy, white gel pen
• ACCENTS/TOOLS: waterbrush, sponge, SU label punch, EK fern punch, mini jingle bells, crochet thread, CDS fresh papaya ribbon, sewing machine, glue dots, foam pop dots

Nov 5 releases!

Good morning all!
The day is here and we have 6 new items released.  You can visit the store latest releases to buy, or view the products and some inspiration below.

NOTE the current sale:  10% off everything!  Enter coupon NOV5TENOFF at the bottom of your cart and click SUBMIT, then click checkout.  (Note: If you don't click submit first, the coupon will not apply.)

First, I wanted to remind you that the NEW DOODLE PANTRY CHALLENGE will start TOMORROW November 6, and the FEATURED image that ALL challenge participants (DPDC1) will receive for free will be...

SHEEP DREAMS__________________________________________
Look at this cutie!
This image offered free to participants of the first Doodle Pantry Challenge on November 6, or you can buy him at the store HERE.

FRENCH HORN______________________________________
I wanted to have a musical instrument that can be used for holidays, but also for other occasions as well.

CHRISTMAS BIRDIE and CHRISTMAS BIRDIE PRE-COLOR_____
Here is the FINAL Christmas holiday themed image for the year, so I decided to have a regular black & white version and a pre-colored version for those who want to print and paste.
This birdie is ready for bed on Christmas eve and decorating his quaint little tree.

IBIS BIRD___________________________________________

I've not seen too many Ibis bird images, so I had to have one for general use.  There are several varieties, I discovered, giving a good range of bird colors to choose from.

BAKING ANTS_______________________________________
Oh these pesky ants are at it again... in your kitchen.  This baking theme digital set can be used for holidays or just regular baking themes.

And finally, here is a NEW freebie, BIG HUG BUNNY!

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

I hope you've enjoyed seeing the new releases and inspiration to use them!  The newsletter will likely go out late this evening or tomorrow with the challenge.
