"Birthday Wishes" Shabby Mixed Media Card for Studio75

Welcome to my creative space!

Hello dear friends! Today I'm sharing a sweet mixed media birthday card I created featuring the gorgeous Studio75 Hello Spring paper collection along with fabulous chipboard from the store. The Up in the Air stencil by SnipArt adds amazing texture to the background as well. 

I had so much fun painting the chipboard and adding background texture. Be sure to check out the details below.

Tips and Techniques
What gorgeous papers to work with! I adore the birdhouse image, so used this Anemone Birdhouse Frame from the Studio75 store along with the little bird from the Scrapiniec Spring Prodigy Bird Ave Set. These gorgeous flowers from Little Birdie Crafts coordinate perfectly with the background paper. The fabulous watercolor leaves are fussy cut from the Hello Spring 07 page.

A close-up of the flowers. At the edges of the cluster you can see some of the flowers I fussy cut from the Hello Sping 06 sheet and stamens which I bunched together to add a bit more texture. The gear is molded from Finnabair's Cogs and Wings Mould then brushed with her White Gold Metallic Wax to coordinate.

I painted this sweet birdhouse portion of the frame with a wood grain to coordinate with the sweet birdhouse on the paper. I left the little bird untreated. The Scrapiniec chipboard hearts are painted in coordinating colors as well with this one strategically placed over the opening to the birdhouse.

The delicate flowers and leaves around the frame are painted and shaded. I adhered small rhinestones to the center of each flower using Bambino Glue. The background is stenciled with Finnabair's White Gold Icing Paste using the fabulous SnipArt Damask Stencil.

I added a little cluster to the bottom corner that includes a snippet of Organza Rose Trim along with this sweet Little Birdie rose.

More of the painted Scrapiniec Confetti Hearts Using Finnabair's Impasto Paints.

This sentiment from the Hello Spring 08 page is colored with Distress Ink and the heart is fussy cut from the 6x6" Hello Spring paper set

The card front is adhered to a 6x6" Blank Card from the store. I just adore these sturdy card bases that hold the weight of my mixed media creations so well.

"Collect Beautiful Moments" Decoupage Mixed Media Box for Little Birdie Crafts

Welcome to my creative space!

I adore repurposing boxes to store little trinkets in. I found this wooden box on clearance at the end of summer a few years back. It had a beach theme printed on it. Not my home decor style, but it was a great price, so I couldn't resist. I haven't tried decoupage on a box before so I pulled out some gorgeous Little Birdie Crafts Decoupage Papers and Deco Magic and transformed it into this girly grunge beauty. 

I hope you'll stop by the Little Birdie Crafts blog for a full photo tutorial and extra close-up photos HERE. There are so many fun techniques I share like the glittered, fluttering butterflies, and a gorgeous shabby bottle cap element on top of the box. 

Thanks for leaving some love while you're there!

"Don't Forget to Fly" Shabby Mixed Media Card for Studio75

"Don't Forget to Fly" Shabby Mixed Media Card by Tracey Sabella for Studio75: #traceysabella #studio75 #miszmasz #snipart #agateria #littlebirdiecrafts #littlebirdiecraftsflowers #acmoore #finnabair #helmar  #timholtz #rangerink #sizzix #darice #mixedmedia #tsukineko #versafine #colorbox #primamarketing #shabbychic #mixedmediaart #mixedmediacard #mixedmediacards #shabbychiccard #shabbychiccards #diycard #diycards #handcraftedcard #handcraftedcards #diycrafts  #handmadecard #handmadecards #chipboard #butterfly #butterflytrail 
Welcome to my creative space!

Hello my dear friends. If you've been following my work for a while, you probably know that I adore mixing sweet beautiful elements with grungy textures and this card is a wonderful mix of both. I've featured the gorgeous Studio75 Violet Love and Forever in Love paper collections along with the amazing Miszmaz Daizy Branches chipboard that is transformed into this gorgeous, grungy butterfly trail. More grunge is added to the background with the SnipArt Damask Stencil and stamps from the Studio75 Store

The focal paper is from the 6x6" Violet Love paper pack. The edges are stamped with the Agateria Grille 3 stamp from the store using permanent brown ink and then rubbed with a bit of teal and light brown Distress Oxide Ink for a grungy effect.

The background behind the butterfly is also stamped with grungy Seth Apter stamps from my stash. The edging paper is from the Forever in Love 6x6 paper set and rubbed randomly with a little more brown ink to help it pop. I rubbed some of the same ink across the lace as well.

The gorgeous butterfly is die cut from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Butterfly Bigz Die with paper from the 6x6" Forever in Love paper pack. I rubbed teal and brown Distress Oxide Ink over the die cut pieces to color. To help the cutouts in the wings pop, I adhered tan paper from the collection on the back of the wings to peek through. This sweet Little Birdie flower is rubbed with a little brown Distress Oxide ink to grunge it up and glued into the center of the butterfly. The wings are curled to give dimension.

I also used a Prima text stamp with permanent Versafine Vintage Sepia ink on the paper before die cutting the butterfly. A flashlight bulb worked perfectly to create a head for the butterfly and the base of the bulb is colored with Finnabair's metallic art wax.

This fabulous Daisy Branches Miszmasz chipboard is absolutely perfect as a grungy trail for the butterfly. A mix of truffle and seafoam embossing powders are used to color. Bambino Glue is used to adhere the chipboard.

I just adore the SnipArt Up In the Air Damask Stencil from the store and used it here with Finnabair's White Crackle Paste. I cut a piece of white crafting chicken wire to layer behind the butterfly and lace.

 The Studio75 Blank Cards are so sturdy and are perfect bases for my cards.

"Journey" Hot Air Balloon for Studio75 with Woodouts! and Mitform Castings

"Journey" Industrial Steampunk Hot Air Balloon by Tracey Sabella for Studio75: #traceysabella #studio75 #woodouts #mitformcastings #scrapiniec #finnabair #primamarketing #snipart #lindysgang #timholtz #helmar #industrial #steampunk #rust #mixedmedia #masculine #hotairballoon #vintage #wings #fleamarketfinds
Welcome to my creative space!

As much as I enjoy making shabby mixed media cards and home decor, I also have a passion for creating industrial steampunk art. I had so much fun putting this beauty together with the Woodouts Balloon Base, chipboard and Mitform Castings pieces from the Studio75 Store along with vintage finds from my stash. I just have to say that this amazing Woodouts Balloon is a such a fun shape to work with and the details in the Mitform Castings pieces are so amazing. They really add such fabulous texture and design to the project don't they?

My sister lives in a community that has a community wide yard sale every year. It's a tradition for the two of us to go out every year and of course I'm always on the lookout for cool things to use in my art. Some of those finds include the pressure gauge (from a local oil field), vintage keys, metal key hole, spark plug, metal drawing compass and rusty washers along with a treasured machined metal piece from my dear friend Mandy's grandfather's workshop. I've also added some Finnabair Mechanicals and resin pieces I created with her moulds. She has such fantastic steampunk/industrial designs too! The base is colored with Lindy's Gang mists and the chipboard and resin pieces are colored with Finnabair paints and waxes. 

Tips and Techniques
To add texture to the background of the Woodouts Balloon Mixed Media Base, I applied Finnabair's Plaster Paste through the SnipArt Up In the Air Damask Stencil. I just adore this design, and it has become of my favorite go to stencils these days. Once dry, I spritzed with Lindy's Gang Hydrangea Blue Starburst mist then a small amount of Clamb Bake Beige and Incandescent Copper Moon Shadow Mist. I then misted with water to help the colors move and blend. This color combination gives a lovely patina effect.

I just adore these Mitform Casting pieces. The Steel Padlock piece on the left is from the Studio75 store. The fabulous metal pieces available in the store can be found HERE. Other Mitform casting pieces are purchased from My Rusty Crown. I rubbed the metal pieces with Brass Hardware, Bronze Age, and Stormy Ocean Finnabair metallic Waxes to age with a little patina.

This cool spark plug is one of my yard sale finds. The other metal pieces in this close-up are a combination of Finnabair gears, and bolts along with pieces that I moulded, painted, and waxed to give this vintage patina effect. I also added Finnabair's wax to the metal parts of the spark plug. Finnabair's blue Sugar Art Pebbles add just the right touch of sparkle to this piece.

More rusty goodness including rusty washers I've picked up on when I find them laying on the ground when I'm out and about along with vintage keys - another yard sale find. The machined piece below the pressure gauge is from my friend's grandfather's workshop. I layered a Prima piece on top to add to the steampunk feel. I'm so grateful she gave me a few of these treasured pieces to include in my art!!! The fluttering steampunk butterfly is a Finnabair Mechanical.

This cool pressure gauge is also one of my finds. Doesn't it fit perfectly into the notch on the Mitform Castings Steel Padlock? A little Finnabair moulded sprocket on the gauge adds to the steampunk effect.

 These fabulous Scrapiniec Chipboard Steampunk Flying Hearts XL Wings are a perfect fit across the Woodouts Balloon! I painted them with a mix of Finnabair's Brass Hardware and Stormy Ocean Metallique paints, then rubbed with her metallic waxes to add to the grungy aged metal effect.

The metal Journey piece is of course from Mitform Castings with so much depth and detail. I brushed it with Finnabair's waxes to highlight the texture.

The Scrapiniec Focus Small Arrows were a perfect fit around this vintage drawing compass, and I also added a few Scrapiniec Confetti Stars below the wings. These chipboard pieces were finished with the same products as the wings. I dyed some cheese cloth with the Lindy mists and tucked it in  behind the metal pieces for added texture. As I glued down the metal elements, the cheesecloth was secured in place. 

I brushed a mix of Finnabair's Rust Pastes around the metal objects and spritzed with water so that it looks like they have been there and weathered to rust in place.

These faux metal chains are also from the Scrapiniec Steampunk Flying Hearts XL Elements set. Isn't it amazing how paint and waxes can make them look just like aged metal? I used a couple more Mitform Casting pieces to give definition to the balloon basked and added a vintage couple from the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls Set into the opening to enjoy the flight.

I used Bambino Glue to adhere prills and Finnabair Microbeads. Because it dries clear, it the perfect adhesive for these little bits of texture.

Welcome to my creative space!

Today I have a new project to share over on the Little Birdie Crafts blog including a full photo tutorial which you can find HERE. I hope you'll stop over there and leave some love.

The hot summer temperatures have settled in so I thought I would create a cool, breezy beach themed project. I adore altering jumbo clothespins. This is one started out as an Easter home decor piece with bold colors that I picked up on clearance after the holidays. The transformation is remarkable, and you can see the before and after photos on the Little Birdie Crafts Blog. You can also find jumbo clothespins in the unfinished wood section of craft stores, but they may have different dimensions than this one.

Welcome to my creative space!

I'm back to share a sweet wedding card featuring the dreamy Hello Spring Collection with such gorgeous colors and images.

I've also used a lovely Scrapiniec chipboard frame and butterfly from the store.

Tips and Techniques

 One of the things I adore about Studio75 paper collections is that they are such complete collections including patterned paper and gorgeous images to fussy cut. Even the back of the package label includes beautifully printed paper including this design that I used as the focal piece for my card. The Scrapiniec Lily of the Valley Oval Frame is so perfect to surround the delightful floral image as well as some gorgeous Little Birdie Crafts flowers. Lily of the Valley are one of my favorite flowers and so perfect for a wedding card!

 The focal paper is layered over another paper cut from the Hello Spring Collection and the edges of both are distressed to add texture and interest.

A close-up of the top of the card showing a fussy cut flower and leaves as well as the chipboard frame. The frame is heat embossed with shabby white embossing enamel which includes flecks of gold and glitter. A bit of vintage lace is tucked under the fussy cut flower.

The Scrapiniec Open Mix Butterfly set has such sweet butterflies including this little gem. I heat embossed with Ranger Seafoam White Embossing Powder, then added Sparkle N Sprinkle Raspberry Sherbet around the edges to coordinate with the colors in the paper design. I used Bambino Glue to adhere Prills to the body.

More of the fussy cut leaves layered over bits of white lace. I also tucked in 1mm White Stamen from the store.
