Happy Saturday! Well, it's the first of the month and time for another new release by Doodle Pantry. Laurie has added some great new sets to the store, and I chose to play with the new Bottles and Jars. This set is a joy to work with as the creative possibilities are endless.
Since I love to combine sets, I couldn't wait to fill the jar with peppermint candies from DP's Peppermint set. The candies were colored digitally. The label on the jar was made by combining an oval shape with a sentiment from DP's Candy Cane Ants. I then colored the jar's lid with Irojiten colored pencils before cutting out the candy jar. Embellishments include twine and a bow; a sentiment from DP's Nutty for You, which I punched out with a small tag punch; and tiny holly leaves and a rhinestone berry from my stash. I have to say this was a lot of fun to make!
Next up is a gorgeous new set called Vintage Ornaments. For a limited time this set is free w/purchase from December 1 through December 8.
Here's a quick, clean and simple card that I made using Vintage Ornaments. My card is a case of one I saw on Mary Fish's blog, Stampin' Pretty. BTW, Mary's blog is filled with gorgeous inspiration. You really should check it out!
I hope you stop by Doodle Pantry to see all the new sets and beautiful samples made by the team. In addition, be sure to stop by the specials page to get the blowout sale coupon code for 35% off image products (excludes gift certificates)!

Both of your cards are gorgeous Pat! My fave is the ornament one but I do LOVE the classic color combo on your peppermint creation! Awesome work my friend & I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic, but I *REALLY* love how you put the peppermints inside the jar. The sentiment from the Candy Cane Ants set is perfect with it. The twine around the top of the jar gives it an even more realistic feel. Great job!
