New Releases and News

We've got new releases today!!  

As well as several new notices below:

1.  I will be starting up the EMAIL NEWSLETTER again, since I received so many questions from customers wondering if they had missed the newsletters this month.  I had decided to stop it, since all the information was redundant, but so many customers have let me know how valuable getting the release newsletter in their inbox was to them.  So I will be sending out newsletters again.

• If you subscribed to the newsletter previously (and didn't unsubscribe yourself), you are still in the contact list, you don't have to do anything.
• If you are a new follower and would like to sign up for the newsletter, the sign up box is on the HOMEPAGE of Doodle Pantry storefront, near the upper left side.
• Not sure if you are in the active Newsletter contact list?  Just send me a note with your email and I will check to see if you are in the contact list.

2.   I have added a Feedburner email signup for THIS BLOG, so that you can get emailed when new posts are made. Just check the right sidebar, near the top.

3.   We are having a PRESIDENT'S DAY sale!   25% off all digital images and templates!  (EXCLUDES watermarks and gift certificates, you need to purchase those separately Thank you.)  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE SPECIALS PAGE on how you can redeem 25% off!

Peaceful Pond Card

Hello,  I finally got to create with the Cattail Pond and the SVG corner accents cutouts which were both released on February 5.   I made this card.

I placed the pond image into my Word document first and then added the individual cattail PNG images over top. I made some a bit smaller and then mirrored another to make a variety of them clumped together.  I wanted this scene to look like the cattails were in the forefront and the pond was behind them.

I started watercoloring the water areas first, then colored the grass, then the cattails in front left, and then the red/orange flowers, rocks and greenery inside of pond.

For the grassy shaped corner accents, I cut them from the Sure cuts a lot program on the cricut expression.  I cut one set of the grassy corners at 100% size and scaled one set of them by 80% so that I could layer them.  I sponged darker green ink on the larger corners underneath.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you have been inspired to go create something!

CARD SUPPLIES:

• IMAGE: Cattail Pond by Doodle Pantry
• CS/PAPER: 90 lb. watercolor paper, CDS spring leaf, CDS mud pie, SU marina mist
• INK: printer, chocolate inkpad for sponging, Tombow markers N65, 933, 856, 177, 947, SU marina mist, SU wild wasabi
• ACCENTS/TOOLS: waterbrush, sponge, sewing machine, pearls, SVG cut file Corner Accents by Doodle Pantry, SU dimensionals, houndstooth embossing folder, green offray satin ribbon from walmart

Pyramid Treat Box template

There is a new release today that is not an image, but a template for treats... or anything you can think of to put inside!
Here is what I made with the Pyramid Treat Box template.
I used the insert candy holder with a 1" hole in it... and it perfectly holds a particular round chocolate.... yum!  The insert is optional depending on what kind of something you want inside.
The product comes with a printable template if you want to hand cut the pieces, and also includes SVG files if you have a cricut and personal cutting software.

The flap opens from the side to retrieve the treat.  The inserts actually help keep the base nice and sturdy.  Oh, and wouldn't it be cute to have a piece of clear cardstock behind the little circle window on the front?

SUPPLIES:

• TEMPLATE: Pyramid Treat Box template & SVG files
• CS/PAPER: Basic Grey Blush DP
• ACCENTS/TOOLS: Ek rock fern medium punch, Wild orchid crafts flower, high tack glue, pink grosgrain ribbon, SU dimensionals, EK border punch

Thanks for visiting today!  I hope you have been inspired to create something.  Hope you have a lovely crafty weekend!
