Doodle Pantry Ant Masquerade

I had to make one more card using the Ant Masquerade pre-colored digital stamp set by Doodle Pantry.  This is one of my Doodle Pantry favorites!  

I printed out the ant butterfly image and a sheet of the butterfly digital paper, the digital paper on text weight paper and the image on cardstock.  My card layout was inspired by another card maker, I loved the sketch layout she'd used.

I used Stampin' Up! Close To Cocoa as a base and a smaller panel that I put through the Cuttlebug with a Tim Holtz wood embossing folder.  The butterfly strip is part of that sheet of digital paper and the sentiment is cut out with a Papertrey Ink double ended banner die.  Some of their dies are rather challenging but I managed to get the sentiment where I wanted it.  I also used a Papertrey Ink envelope liner die, I really like the look of a card with a matching lined envelope.

Doodle Pantry Ant Masquerade

I have a fun Doodle Pantry card to share with you today!

When I saw this already colored digital stamp set I was so excited!!!  I have the Ant Masquerade digital stamp set that was previously released as line drawings to be colored but hadn't used it yet.

I wouldn't have thought to use some of the colors in the pre-colored version either and I LOVE the digital papers that come in this set to match the images.  My card layout is an old sketch from "Fetch A Sketch" that I wanted to try.  It took some thinking and math on my part and I'm really happy with the way my card turned out.  Here's a peek at the sketch.

I also like the matching digital papers most Doodle Pantry colored stamp sets come with because I like to dress up my cards a little with envelope liners.  Most of my cards are donated to Operation Write Home and I think envelope liners make them just a little more special.

Doodle Pantry Mini Bethlehem

I have a quick Christmas card to share with you today!

I used Doodle Pantry's Mini Bethlehem colored digital image and sentiment for my card and mass produced sixty Christmas cards for our church.  The digital image is printed on slightly glossy photo paper and cut to 3.50" X 4.75", I used my Corner Chomper to round the corners.  The dark blue paper is by Treasures and called Dusk Blue with a nice linen texture.  The base of the card I put through the printer so I could have a straight, centered Christmas verse on the inside as well as my name and info on the back.  After scoring and folding it into an A2 size I attached the blue and white panels for finished cards.

Hambo Stamps April Showers

It's been busy around here this last week and I haven't had time to make up my entry for the Hambo Hoedown and wasn't sure I was going to get my card ready in time.  I had a little "me time" this Mother's Day afternoon and was able to work on that card, yea!

I used the Hambo Stamps April Showers digital image, the challenge theme is flowers and I've had my eye on this digital image for awhile now.  Great reason to make it mine!  I paper pieced the umbrella flowers using a digital paper from Doodle Pantry and colored the rest of the image with Copic markers B66, B63, B60, YG67, YG17, YG05, YG01, Y32, Y21.  My layout is Splitcoast Stampers Sketch challenge #384. 

Enjoy the rest of your Mother's Day!

Doodle Pantry Clover Ants

I have a Doodle Pantry design team card to share today!

I used Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge #367 as inspiration for my layout along with Laurie's super cute Clover Ants in all their pre-colored glory.  The papers I used are one of the patterned digital papers from the Clover Ants digital stamp set and Mohawk Bright White & Via Vellum Basic Black.  I also used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder and two Cheery Lynn Designs button dies with a little crochet thread.

Doodle Pantry Bird Bath Joy

It's kind of a gloomy day here in Arizona so my bright happy card helps bring some sunshine back into the day.  We are used to having bright sunshine and blue skies year round in the part of the country we live in so today is the exception.  

I have a Doodle Pantry design team card to share with you today, I used Bird Bath Joy in it's pre-colored version along with two of the digital papers that come in this set.  I love the way Laurie colors her images and makes matching papers.  All I need is a sketch and I'm inspired to make a fun Doodle Pantry card!   There are also sentiments that come with this set and I used one on the inside, it says "Wishing you this kind of happy".  

The supplies I used are Astrobrights Blast Off Blue, Mohawk Bright White and Via Vellum Leaf Green.  I pulled out my Grands Spellbinders circles and my one of my button jars to find the perfect match to my blue paper with old Stampin' Up! buttons.  I added a little crotchet thread before I glued them down and I also used a Corner Chomper on the edges of the image panels.

Doodle Pantry Heart Sheep

HEY!  MY CARD FROM JANUARY 31st IS BEING FEATURED ON "INSPIRE ME FRIDAY'S" ALONG WITH SOME OTHER GREAT PROJECTS!  HOW FUN, THANK YOU MARIA!!

I have a fun card to share with you today using pre-colored digital images and papers by The Doodle Pantry.

The name of the digital stamp set is Heart Sheep and the digital paper is called Hearts A Flutter.  These would be perfect for Valentine cards but I thought they'd also be perfect for cards for Operation Write Home.  What wife waiting at home wouldn't love to get a card telling her how happy she makes the man in her life, this cute sheep would even make great kids cards for OWH.  

My card layout is Splitcoast Stampers SC#306 again flipped on it's side, I can't seem to get enough of this sketch.  Hope you don't mind!  I used Spellbinders hearts, circles and ovals dies and also used a Sizzix heart embossing folder to emboss the red heart, that was a fun experiment.

Doodle Pantry Cocoa Ants

I have another Doodle Pantry card for you today!

It's new release day at Doodle Pantry and I made my card using the new Cocoa Ants digital stamp set!  

I love Laurie's Ants, it doesn't matter what kind of adventure or mischief they're getting into I have to have them in my collection of digital images.  I hope you'll stop by Doodle Pantry to see all the new release sets and all the wonderful inspiration from our design team.

I used both digital papers that come in this stamp set as well as Via Vellum Basic Black, Astrobrights Solar Yellow, Neenah Red Pepper Linen and Discount Cardstocks' Royal Blue.  The digital image is printed on Mohawk Bright White.  I printed one of the sentiments that comes in this set on my Solar Yellow cardstock and used Spellbinders dies to accentuate Laurie's cute Cocoa Ants image.  

My card is also for our Midweek Throwdown challenge at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps, the them this week is to use die cuts on your card.

Doodle Pantry Flaming Hot Ants

I'm a big fan of Doodle Pantry's Ants collection and this new release "Flaming Hot Ants" set for January was a must have for my personal collection!   What a fun Valentine or Any Occasion card this turned out to be!

Along with the Flaming Hot Ants I used two of the digital papers that come in this set, there are also fun sentiments but I didn't find a good place to add one and believe me I tried!   My layout is Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch #100, just perfect for this fun pre-colored digital image!

Doodle Pantry Vintage Phone

I have a Doodle Pantry January new release card to share with you today!

The digital stamp set I used is called Vintage Phone and I colored it with Copic markers in the neutral gray family, N1, N3, N5, N7, N9 after printing it on Copic X Press It blending card.  The sentiment is also from this fun digital stamp set.  

I wanted to go with an old fashioned theme for my card and keep it black and white but added a splash of red and a scrap of flowered patterned paper.  I also used a few of my neglected Spellbinders dies, Mega Ovals and Mega Scalloped Ovals, Long Skinny Rectangles & Long Skinny Scalloped Rectangles.  To dress up the white panel I used a Cuttlebug Script embossing folder and to finish it off I added three black half pearls.

Doodle Pantry 12 Days of Christmas

I have a few fun Doodle Pantry projects I made earlier this month to share today.  Our challenge that starts today at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps is to use a digital image and I thought these would be perfect.  Digital images are so versatile and Doodle Pantry has already colored images as well as line drawings we can color ourselves.  

We've just celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it and I always needs gift tags!

I made a coordinating card too, I LOVE circular sentiments and just couldn't stop experimenting!

Doodle Pantry Cute Quail

I have a fun card to share with you today made with Doodle Pantry's Cute Quail digital stamp set.  I used the pre-colored Quail and both digital papers that come in this set and paired it with Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps sketch #93 from October 30th.  

I printed the Quail and swatches of the digital papers on one sheet of  Stampin' Up! Vanilla card stock and used Stampin' Up! Garden Green and Astro Brights Jupiter Java to coordinate with these fabulous digital papers.  I also used a strip of Stampin' Up! organdy ribbon as a finishing touch.

I really like how this card turned out using the Cute Quail digital stamp set and the sketch.  It was quick and fun to put together and it fits the Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown challenge this week as a Valentine card.

Quail you be mine?!

I have a secret to share with you about this stamp set too (:
