Sparkle and Shine

 

Hello!  This week Tuesday Morning Sketches is sponsored by Doodle Pantry so I made this card with the Vintage Ornament digital and sentiment from a Doodle Pantry file. I dressed it up with a lot of sparkle and shine using Gold Metallic CS, Gold Metallic Pen, Gold Jelli-pen, Glittery CS's, Ribbon with Gold Metallic Threads, Clear-star Pen and Wink of Stella Pen.  I also used Darice EF Chevron to give texture to the Gold Metallic Background and Die Cuts and Punches for the shiny flower.

Quick Card that's CAS

Welcome!   Sometimes you can make a card in just a few minutes! This is one that I made quickly....the thing that took the longest was applying the Glossy Accents to the globe and letting it dry.  I used a colored digital image of a Gumball Machine from Doodle Pantry Sweet Stuff that I printed with the sentiment.  I simply layered on the stripe paper from MME A Mother's Love pad on a card base of bright blue.   Used a Silver Metallic Pen and Glossy Accents to finish.

Road Trip

Second Post :
I am still playing with travel theme cards....maybe thinking of all the traveling done over Memorial Day weekend.  I recently received Doodle Pantry Classic Cars 2 digital images and could not wait to use the Ford Ragtop Image.  I printed and fussy cut the red car and used with some old  Paper Pizazz road map paper.  I used orange Core-dinations canvas texture as card base layered with a red textured card stock, then the pattern paper that I embossed with Cuttlebug EF Tiny Bubbles. I lined the road with a narrow Satin Orange ribbon and added the car with pop up foam. Finished with a sticker from Creative Imaginations.  Thought this came out rather colorful.

Challenges:
Crafty Ribbons Challenge: Theme is Drive Time with ribbon
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Theme is Vacation/Travel

Yum! Yum!

 

I'm making this post quick and simple just like my card. The CAS-UAL Friday challenge is :  Three Thirds- The idea is to use three of something on just 1/3 of the card, and keep it clean and simple. I used digital stamps of 3 sundaes from Doodle Pantry and one of their sentiments too.  Added some liquid pearls to each sundae and some score marks for some interest.  This was so quick and simple for a one layer card.  Another card to add to my box for OWH.

A Bouquet for You

Hello! Hoping your day is going well.  Today I have a card made with a digi from Doodle Pantry Petite Bouquet for the challenge at Digi Sketch to use flowers and/or the sketch..  I used the colored image and cut with a Nesties circle die and matted on a SU Brilliant Blue circle. Using the blue as my card base, I added pattern paper from GCD Studios Special Delivery pad and attached the image.  I added glaze to the flowers to add some texture. The sentiment stamped in Memento Danube Blue ink is from Joanna Sheen Favorite Flowers and fussy cut.

Spring Violets from Doodle Pantry

Welcome! This is a second post for today.

 I love stamping and coloring but I also like to use pre-colored digital images, especially the ones created by Doodle Pantry.  From their files, I printed 2 colored images from Spring Violets and the sentiment from Poppies and assembled this card on a bright blue card stock from my stash that I embossed with Cuttlebug EF Windowpane.   The large image was cut with a spellbinder die and matted on yellow cardstock that I cut using the die as a template .  I used a yellow glaze pen on the centers of flowers to highlight.  Cannot wait until I have violets blooming in my garden.

Jug of Flowers for You

This card was made with a colored digital image Floral Jug from Doodle Pantry.  I changed the colors a bit using Copic Markers.  I changed the color of the jug to orchid and added shading and depth to the flowers.   I trimmed the image using a Nesties oval die  and layered it on a paper doily  found at a Dollar Store for 10cents a pack.  The doily was round but I cut it in half and made it oval shape.  This was placed on an orchid mat embossed with a Darice EF.  I used a MME's Pattern Paper check design from Quilting Bee pad as the layer between the white card base and the top layers.  I  just liked the look of these layers together and so did my DH whom I consulted in the making of this card.  The sentiment from Flourishes Taglines was stamped in Memento Gray Flannel ink.  Doodle Pantry Images makes making cards so fun and easy.  I was inspired by the color Orchid to make this design.
Challenges:
Doodle Pantry Blog Challenge: #43...use any digital image.
Whoopsie Daisy: Use 2 or more die cuts....used oval die and a die for sentiment.  Also used a die to curve my corners since I did not have a corner punch.

Say Love With Flowers

 Hello!  I should be house cleaning or packing away Christmas Decorations but decided to do a second post.  I am still using some new supplies with one of my fave digis from Doodle Pantry.  I also found a challenge that is new to me Digi Sketch Challenge.  I made this card using the Digi Sketch shown below with the Poppy Digi from Doodle Pantry and new pattern Papers from MME 6X6 paper pad.  After printing the flower, I colored with Copics  R20,22,24 and BG11, G21 and then sponged the image with Distress Ink Antique Linen to darken the white CS.  I used Red Cs for the card base and mats.  The sentiment is from Flourishes From the Heart set and stamped with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink. Finished with rhinestones.
Challenges:
Doodle Pantry Monthly Challenge: DPDC42 use any digi.  Used Poppy.

Too Much Fun

Today I have another fun card made with a Doodle Pantry Digi image and sentiment from the Snowman Pile-up Set that I recently received for playing in their current challenge.  I used a sketch from Sweet Sunday's Challenge to create my card.  I printed the colored digi image of the Snowmen  and cut out with a SB circle die.  I used a yellow card base with a mat of DCWV Striped paper----this really picked up colors in the image... and then a mat of glossy blue CS embossed with Cuttlebug EF Snowflakes. I love how the blue really made the image pop. I added some Frosted Lace and Crystal stickles to the image and did doodles around the edge with a blue gell pen. Added a yellow grosgrain ribbon and printed sentiment from the same digi set. I was pleased with how the colors fit together and the sparkle of the stickles. But do you think these snowmen might have mixed some moonshine in with their snow cones?  They look like they are having way too much fun.

Challenges:

Craft Your Passion: Theme is add some doodling. I'm not a good doodler but I gave it my best try.

Vintage Christmas Ornament

Welcome! I hope you are enjoying a great weekend.  I was amazed how quickly that I made this card using a digital image, sentiment and paper all from Doodle Pantry Vintage Ornament Collection.  I printed the already colored ornament along with the sentiment on white cardstock and trimmed to fit on a mat of the coordinating digi paper. I embossed it with Cuttlebug EF Argyle. There are several different ornament designs to choose.  I attached this to a green cardstock base. I added a little sparkle to the gold on the ornament with a metallic Jelli-pen and embellished with a metallic bow with matching colors. I love the way this turned out in just a few minutes.  This will be a great card to  produce in quantity.
I am entering this card in the monthly challenge at Doodle Pantry Blog Digital Challenge #40 with the theme any digi goes

Pink Poppies

As you may know one of my favorite subjects for cards is Flowers. This card was made with a Doodle Pantry image and sentiment from Poppies Digital Stamps. After printing the image and sentiment, I trimmed the cardstock and colored the image with Copics G 21, 99, YG 63, 99, R 81, 83, 85, and Black Glaze Pen for center. I matted the image on Black CS, the a Pattern Paper from GKD Berries and Vine, and White Card Base. The pattern Paper was embossed with CB EF Divine Swirls. Finished with a fancy Pink and Black Ribbon which matches the CS BIRL than in photo.  I have the hardest time photographing pinks.

Pink Pansies with a Thank You

 

I received this digi image from Doodle Pantry and decided I must use it for their challenge this month which is to use a Doodle Pantry image....that's simple enough.  I printed the image on white cardstock and colored with copics and a black glaze pen. I used papers from stash and scraps of green which is almost a heavy vellum. I embossed the card base with Cuttlebug EF Wickerweave and assembled the layers. Sentiment is from Creative Vision was cut with Nesties Blossom Dies.

I am trying so hard to use up bits and pieces of scraps ....one of my objectives for the new year.

OWH Color Throwdown

Today has been a very windy and rainy day...hoping the leaves on the lawn are all blown away.  Since it was too windy to rake today, I took time to make a card for one of the challenges at Operation Write Home. Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge---to make cards using black & white with a pop of red or green for our heroes to send home to their family and friends! I just received the "Poppies" digital set from Doodle Pantry for playing in their challenge this week.  I thought  one of their stamps and sentiment would be perfect for a card and Doodle Pantry is the sponsor for the challenge too. I printed the single Poppy and colored with Copics R22,24,27, N4,N7 and 100.  Using artistic license, I did the leaves and stems in shades of black since I wanted to stay with black, white and reds. Trimmed the printed sentiment, edged with black ink and placed on the image. I used a black textured card base, red mat and then finished with black beads in the center of the poppy. I think this would be a great card for OWH since I kept it CAS with appropriate sentiment and embellishment.

Happy Bird

 

I love to play with digis and decided I need to use more of some great digis that I have saved.  I have had this "Happy Bird" that was a freebie from Doodle Pantry and never used it in a card.  Every time I see my friend Patti post a card for Doodle Pantry (she is on their DT),  I say I must do one of their challenges.   The theme this week is to use a Doodle Pantry Image..that's easy enough.   I colored Happy Bird with Copics ending up with him more pink than red. I found some scraps of DCWV pattern papers which I thought suited the bird's personality and used a sketch from Sweet Sunday to make it all come together on a card base of turquoise.  Added some dew drops and a sentiment also from Doodle Pantry to finish.  Was as Happy as "Happy Bird" with the card.
