Welcome to my creative space!

I created this card for our son-in-law's birthday featuring the fabulous Studio75 Cherry Blossom Collection. He had his first book published this past year, so I stamped the background with a vintage typewriter patent image to celebrate his special accomplishment. Don't you just adore how perfectly this fabulous grungy paper works with the vintage image and industrial/steampunk elements?

Tips and Techniques

I have arranged a mix of masculine metal elements from Finnabair, Tim Holtz, and found items along with resin wings created with Prima silicone moulds. I arranged larger items toward the center working outward with smaller items to give movement so your eye moves across the card.

The elements are brushed with Finnabair's Rust and Patina Effects Paste, then spritzed with water so it looks like they have weathered onto the card. I also rubbed of Finnabairs copper wax as a final layer to enhance the patina effect.

Grid marks are stenciled onto the background with Finnabair's white gold Icing Paste using The Crafter's Workshop Mini Sketch Grid Stencil.

 A close-up to see how wonderfully this paper works with the grungy texture.

This chain from the Scrapiniec Flying Hearts Chipboard Set combines perfectly with the other elements. It is also brushed with rust and patina paste, then rubbed with copper wax to give a vintage metallic look.

 These Scrapiniec Confetti Chipboard Stars are painted the same way as the chain.

One final close-up to see the grungy texture. Little seed beads and Finnabair microbeads are adhered with Bambino Glue. 

****Tip**** The impressed "life" sentiment on the metal tag became obscured by the media I used, so I used a sharpie marker to fill in the letters to make them visible again.

Frosty Wintry Mixed Media Card for Studio75

Frosty Wintry Mixed Media Card by Tracey Sabella for Studio75 #studio75 #mixedmedia #shabbychic #shabbymixedmedia #finnabair #primamarketing #winter #handmadecard #handcraftedcard #mixedmediacard #acmoore #littlebirdiecrafts #prills #heidiswappcolorshine #helmar #stampendous
Welcome to my creative space!

I have created a frosty winter card to share with you featuring Studio75's gorgeous Peony Avenue Collection. I drew inspiration from the polar vortex we experienced here in January with sparkling ice crystals and white snow banks reflecting frosty blue skies.

Tips and Techniques

This blue paper from The Peony Avenue 6x6" paper set is a perfect backdrop for this wintry card.

I clustered Little Birdie Crafts crafts flowers from  A.C. Moore. The diecut leaves were dabbed with Finnabair's Snowflake paste and while wet sprinkled with silver glitter.

The shimmering chipboard wing is from the Scrapiniec Steampunk Flying Hearts Set of Wings found in the Studio75 Store. It is brushed with Finnabair's Magical Pond Sparks Paint and while still wet sprinkled with more of the silver glitter that was used on the leaves.

The round frame was brushed with white gesso then a layer of Finnabair's White Crackle Paste before spritzing with Heidi Swapp Ocean Color Shine, drying well between each layer. I have found that the crackle paste mediums that I have tried get more cracks when allowed to air dry rather than drying with a heat tool.

Bambino Glue from the Studio75 Store is dries perfectly clear and matte, so works perfectly to adhere the Prill and microbead bling around the cluster.

This chipboard snowflake has the same media applied to it as the round frame. I received these sweet snowflakes as a gift with a recent order from Joggles.com. 

On the card base I brushed the center portions with white gesso, then stenciled with Finnabair's Frosty pearl and Mystic Turquoise Icing Pastes swirled together using her Wild Berries Stencil.

I applied Frosty Pearl Icing Paste to Scrapiniec Confetti Stars from the Studio75 Store using a palette knife to swirl the paste for a textured effect, and once dry, rubbed lightly with Finnabair's Old Silver wax to highlight the texture.

I just adore these little chipboard stars that come in three different sizes. A perfect way to add another bit of texture to any project.

"You Are in My Heart" Altered Heart for Studio75 DT for February Challenge

"You Are in My Heart" Altered Mixed Media Box by Tracey Sabella for Studio75 February 2019 Challenge #studio75 #littlebirdiecrafts #49andmarket 49andmarketflowers #finnabair #finnabairproducts #primamarketing #prills #thecraftersworkshopstencils #helmar #thermoweb #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediabox #alteredbox #mixedmediaartist #shabbychic #shabby #shabbychiclover #shabbychicbox #papercrafting #chipboard #altered #homedecor #handcrafted #handmade ⠀

Welcome to my creative space!!

It's time for the first Studio75 challenge of 2019.


The theme:
Make any box, in any technique. The box, you will fill with love.

For challenge details and to enter stop by the Studio75 Challenge blog post HERE.

I adore altering trinket boxes and this oval paper maché box is covered with paper from the gorgeous Studio75 Violet Love Collection

Tips and Techniques
"You Are in My Heart" Altered Mixed Media Box by Tracey Sabella for Studio75 February 2019 Challenge #studio75 #littlebirdiecrafts #49andmarket 49andmarketflowers #finnabair #finnabairproducts #primamarketing #prills #thecraftersworkshopstencils #helmar #thermoweb #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediabox #alteredbox #mixedmediaartist #shabbychic #shabby #shabbychiclover #shabbychicbox #papercrafting #chipboard #altered #homedecor #handcrafted #handmade ⠀
In addition to covering the box with Violet Love paper, I fussy cut the sweet flowers and leaves from one of the add on papers as well as the "You are in my heart" sentiment strip. The filigree heart tucked in is an Anemone Fantiazja Corner Chipboard piece topped with Ranger Pale Gold embossing powder. 

The top of the lid is stenciled using Mini Many Textures TCW Stencil with Finnabair's Rose Gold Icing Paste. More icing paste is stenciled around the sentiment using the Mini Well Rounded and Mini Texturized TCW Stencils. A touch of lace is adhered around the top of the lid with Bambino Glue.

*****Tip*****
When covering a box with paper, make sure the lid fits loosely, or one you add the paper, you may not get the lid to fit back on over the layer of added paper. If the lid fits tight, you could cover to box just to the edge of the lid.

The sweet pale pink roses are from the Studio75 store and the other flowers are from Little Birdie Crafts and 49 and Market. I also tucked in a couple metal leaves I found in the jewelry department of my local craft store. The floral heart is one I've had in my stash for several years. I gave it new life by painting it with white gesso and then rubbing with Finnabair's Rose Gold Metallique Wax. Finally, there's a bit of texture with Prills and Finnabair's Microbeads adhered with Bambino Glue
