DIEcember - Day Twenty-One - Sometimes The Card Is The Present....

....okay so this isn't really one of those times, but it also kind of is.  Usually when I say the card is the present, it's filled with popping-up gift cards.  This time the card LOOKS like the present!!!  I made a TON of these and donated them to Cards for Soldiers.  I just love how they came out.

I liked it with all the patterns too, it's just a fun card!

Reindeer Games - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Thursday!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm playing along again with the #MerryAndBrightChallenge!  Today's fun theme is #MisbehavingReindeer and I instantly thought of reindeer games and what would they do if they jumped the sleigh for the afternoon?  I pictured them tossing around an ornament like a ball, and that's where the inspiration for this slider card came from!

So ya'all know how much I love my Momenta paper.  The card's background is made from the Watercolor Metallic cardstock, and I cut the reindeer with Abstract Marble.  I used a scrap from the Watercolor pad for the ornament.  The word dies are Momenta too. I like to mix sizes and fonts for my sentiments so I used Hello Fetti word dies for the Hello and Hope/Dream/Believe for the joy.

If you missed out on the first few weeks of the #MerryAndBrightChallenge, here's all the scoop on what's coming up!

Simply create a card using each day's theme and your favorite Momenta, Brea Reese and or Art-C products and post it using the hashtag #MerryandBrightChallenge!!!  Be sure to tag whichever company you use, #breareese @breareese #mymomenta @mymomenta #myartc @my_artc with your creations!!

Elfin Tags - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got a new Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post for you today, with a set of Christmas tags!!   I know we're all busy for the holidays, but don't forget about the #MerryandBrightChallenge!!!  Simply create a card using each day's theme and your favorite Momenta, Brea Reese and or Art-C products and post it using the hashtag #MerryandBrightChallenge!!!  Be sure to tag whichever company you use, #breareese @breareese #mymomenta @mymomenta #myartc @my_artc with your creations!! Here's the calendar of challenges!

Today's theme is #FavoriteHolidayMovie and of course, mine is Elf!!  I knew I wanted to make tags so I grabbed some stamps from my stash and started watercoloring!

The first thing I did was watercolor my backgrounds.  I like to blend colors, so working with a combination of the Jewels Professional Watercolors and Classics Professional Watercolors sets for my backgrounds.  I blended some of the watercolors with Glitter Inks and Liquid Glitter.  I set them aside to dry for awhile and colored my sentiment background and the Elf legs and hats with the same watercolors.  (And yes I had the movie on while I made these!)  I used a waterbrush and the same watercolors to color in all the bells and let that dry again.  After the backgrounds dried, I took the Metallic Neutrals Pens and colored the ribbons on the bells.  If you use these pens last they're much brighter than if you watercolor over them.  I want to add that if you haven't tried these pens, you must.  You get a fine point and a brush in each shade which is awesome.

Be sure to check out the Jewels Professional Watercolors and all the other Brea Reese products!!  Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Laters!!

Woodsy Winter -- Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Hump Day!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm playing along again with the #MerryAndBrightChallenge!  Today's fun theme is #WoodlandCreatures and I instantly knew I collage together various die cut reindeer and trees to create a scene.  I also used my brand new Snowflake and Deer embossing folder set on the background!  After embossing a piece of watercolor cardstock twice with the Snowflake folder, I colored it with various shades of blue and grey from the Brea Reese Jewels and Classics Professional Watercolor Sets.

If you missed out on the first few days of the #MerryAndBrightChallenge, here's all the scoop on what's coming up!

Simply create a card using each day's theme and your favorite Momenta, Brea Reese and or Art-C products and post it using the hashtag #MerryandBrightChallenge!!!  Be sure to tag whichever company you use, #breareese @breareese #mymomenta @mymomenta #myartc @my_artc with your creations!! 

Now, back to what I made!  

I used a few different paper pads to create this card. I always think the paper is the star of the show!  The Metallic Ink paper pad was what I used for the main scenic image.  I added in extra trees cut from the Abstract Marble and Watercolor paper pads to make everything pop.

Season's Greenings -- Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got a new Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post for you today, with a fun wintery card!!   You may have noticed that on social media, all three Momenta brands are having a #MerryandBrightChallenge this month!  Simply create a card using each day's theme and your favorite Momenta, Brea Reese and or Art-C products and post it using the hashtag #MerryandBrightChallenge!!!  Be sure to tag whichever company you use, #breareese @breareese #mymomenta @mymomenta #myartc @my_artc with your creations!! Here's the calendar of challenges!

It's already so much fun!!!

Since today's theme is #WinterGreenery I decided I wanted to use a bunch of die cuts to create a festive card.  I used some new items that are only available at Walmart Canada right now, and mixed them in with some Brea Reese and Momenta favorites.  I started with a piece of the new Watercolor Paper and embossed with the woodgrain folder from the Fall Cut and Embossing Folder Set.  I then colored it with Brown watercolor from the Classics Professional Watercolors set.  I die cut a couple of pinecones from the same Momenta die set watercolor paper, and after embossing them, I colored them with a mixture of the same Brown watercolor I used on the background and Brown Watercolor Creams.  I gathered various scraps I had of paper watercolored with Glitter Inks, Watercolor Inks and scraps from various Momenta paper pads, then die cut them with greenery dies.  I layered everything together and added a bow to finish it off.

Spread Color - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got a new Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post for you today, and today I have a colorful mixed media peacock card!  I've been in a very artsy type of mood lately, and I was going to go a completely different way with this card when a friend mentioned a "marbled acrylics" technique she'd recently started doing.  Basically you scoop up Artist Acrylic Paint with a palette knife and just start spreading the colors around on regular cardstock.  I loved it from the minute I tried it.  Every single one comes out differently, and you never know how the colors are going to blend.  I wanted some shimmer so I did drip Liquid Glitter onto my paints before picking them up with the knife.  Such a cool technique!

The border piece of cardstock, I did the marbling technique on a piece of black cardstock.  The popped up accent piece that the sentiment and peacock are on was obviously blended on white cardstock.  See how all the colors blend to make new ones?  Love it!  You'll be seeing this from me again in the future!

The peacock is colored with my favorite coloring medium, Glitter Inks.  In person she just jumps off the card at you, she's so sparkly. The sentiment tag is colored with the same colors of Glitter Ink.

Foil Love - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Hump Day!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today using a new-to-me product, Wood Tags!  I'm a big tag person and I just knew these would make adorable love-themed cards.  They come with gold glitter on the bottom third, and it's the high-quality kind that doesn't come off.  I thought they would pair really well with the Watercolor Foil paper pad, and they really did.  I finished them off with the Glitter Stickers and voila!  Two quick and easy cards that don't look like they only took five minutes to make!

(foil is sooooo hard to photograph!)

So Very Blessed - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got a new Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post for you today, sharing a Thanksgiving card!!  I like sort of non-traditional sentiments and such, and this card completely fits that bill.  I apologize that it's hard to see the Glitter Inks that I used on the leaves.  It's soooo hard to photograph shimmery things!!!  The background is mildly shimmery as well, I created it with a blend of the Watercolor Inks and Gold Liquid Metal. I cannot stress enough how amazing the Liquid Metals are, you need these in your studio!!

Radiate Sunshine! - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post

Happy Friday!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today using one of my favorite Momenta paper pads, Watercolor Splash.  It's been so gloomy here the past few days, I wanted to will the sun to come out!! On top of the cardstock I layered one of the foil doilies.  I love how they catch the light.  The vellum sticker sentiment is Momenta as well.  I adhered it to the same watercolor cardstock and popped up the center sentiment part for interest.

Harvest Trio

Happy Harvest!!  It's a nice generic sentiment and perfect for the cards I donate to Cards for Soldiers!  I like to make multiples so I made three styles, twelve of each :)  Yes, I'm still making fall cards, Christmas didn't win over yet!!  (I did play Christmas music while I was crafting though!)

I LOVE Halloween.  I actually think I like it more and more each year.  I've made tons of cards that I donated to Cards for Soldiers this year, and this is one of them.  I found it challenging to work WITHOUT glitter at first, but now I don't even notice (that much!).

Floating Bats - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Tuesday!!  It's time for my latest Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post, and I'm still in the Halloween mode!  I wanted a really shimmery dimensional background for this card, so I pulled out my Gold Modeling Paste and put it through a Halloween stencil.  I love this stuff because it has kind of a smooth finish when it dries, but when you put the Glitter Inks over it, it becomes more textured and sparkly.  I blended Cadmium Red, Crimson, Medium Magenta, Orange and Cadmium Yellow over the dried background, and it just came to life.  I felt like the die cut sentiment grounded everything and made the bats stand out.

Dream, Wish, Hope - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and since today is World Mental Health Day, I thought it was important to make an inspirational card!!  We all struggle and we all need encouragement now and then!

I used my go-to paper, Watercolor Splash, for my card base and my die cut words.  The Hope Wordfetti dies were perfect for the encouraging sentiments I wanted.  I used the Watercolor Doily to make the words pop.

Trick or Treat - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!!  It's time for my latest Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post, and even though it doesn't feel like fall (hello 80 degree weather!!), I'm READY for fall, so I made a Halloween card!  I used the amazing Watercolor Inks to make this card.  They blend so beautifully and allow you to make the colors bold or subtle without a ton of hassle or mixing.  I literally drop the inks on my palette and then just pick them up with my waterbrush and let the colors do all the work.

Hocus Pocus - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Friday!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm in full on Halloween mode!!  I like to take things that maybe aren't so Halloween-y and make them work for the holiday, so I grabbed my Metallic Ink Watercolor paper pad for the background layers.  I like the contrast of the purple and black.  Two Halloween title stickers turned this fairy from mystical to Halloweeny!

Blessed - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!!  It's time for my latest Brea Reese brand ambassador post, and now that it's "officially" fall (even though it's HUMID outside!) I'm all about pumpkins, gourds and warm colors.  My background was made with a combination of my go-to Brea Reese Glitter Inks for the background, dropping in Gold Liquid Metals here and there, then I added water to blend the colors.  I LOVE how you never know what you'll get when you do this!  The label sentiment was colored the same way with Orange and Yellow colors.  The stamped images were colored not only with the Glitter Inks but with Watercolor Inks and Fineliner Pens as well.

STAMPtember - Day Twenty-Four - Up Where They Walk.....

....Up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun....sorry got off on a tangent there.  The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite Disney movies and Ariel has always been one of my most favorite princesses, second only to Belle.  I really think I'd like to make a set of these, but this is a good start.

I just loooooooove how it came out!

Yes I pieced that tail together one piece at a time!!

This was my first piece like this, I'd like to make a more detailed one next time.  I gain more confidence with each piece!

STAMPtember - Day Twenty-Two - Birthday Surprise

It's the last day of my week of cards made with this amazing Unity stamp, Margaret.  I think there are some stamps that just EVERYONE should own.  This is one of them.

Now I don't have the dies for this style of card, but the dies were too small for what I needed anyways.  So I studied it and made my own pattern.  LOVE how it turned out!!

Surprise!!  Fun hiding inside!
