12 Days of Christmas: Day 2

Today is Day 2 of our 12 Days feature! We are excited to show off a few cards and tags using Finnabair's lines: Elementals, Vintage Vanity, and Mechanicals!

There is SO MUCH more to this gorgeous line than the little peek above. (See more of the products at the end of our post as well.) Our gals had a blast mixing them up to make their projects today!

What would you do with these products? Why not grab some of them and join in our 12 Days of Christmas Card fun! We would love to see your creations.

How to enter:

1. Just make a Prima-based card or tag inspired by one of our 12 Days of Christmas Cards. Pick anything you want that inspires you: the product, a technique, layout of card, or a color scheme.

2. Add your project to that day's post (use the blue button at the bottom.)

3. After the features are over we will pick 12 lucky winners to get a Prima prize in December!

Golden Joy Card

by Solange Marques

All of Finn's products are very versatile and they can be used for Chistmas projects very well. I used a lot of texture on this card, such as a mask with modeling paste, acrylic gesso on the flowers, and covering the Mechanical pieces with paste and embossed powder. ~Solange

Solange took this card to the next level with all of her golden touches! What amazing texture she created with just a few items!

Season's Greeting Tree

by Keren Tamir

"I really wanted to create a Christmas tree using the mechanical pieces from the Finnabair collection. I printed a Christmas tree template from the internet and then cut it out of Prima packaging. Then I used two other recycled Prima packaging from the Mechanicals collection to build my tag."

To create the tree I started adding different mechanical pieces onto the template like a mosaic puzzle. I cut certain pieces in half so they could fit properly on the tree. I tried layering metal pieces on top of each other to create depth and height. Finally I filled in the remaining holes with different sized beads and pearls." ~Keren

Winter Wishes Tag

by Kelly Foster

I chose to create a warm winter feel with lots of color and texture. I love the neat contrast you can create using such diverse materials as the canvas, metals, and flowers. I used various paints and texture pastes to add color and the "snow" look here and there. ~Kelly

We love how Kelly went outside the traditional Christmas colors when creating her color-filled beauty!

With Love Card

by Kasia Krzyminska

I created the background with paints and then added some layers with old ephemera, metal tags, metal flowers, and paper flowers. My favorite thing is the huge silver flower that is just perfect for all Christmas projects. ~Kasia

Wow! Kasia layered all of these goodies to create a stunning project! This is a card you would want to hand-deliver, or put on a gift, because it's THAT special!

And to finish off our Finnabair card feature is a gorgeous card set by Finn herself!

When you are creating bulkier cards why not alter a little box to put them in? You have now created a gorgeous present instead of just a card and envelope!

Finn kept a classic cream and tan color scheme with tiny splashes of black. The flower takes center stage with it's regalness!

A little bit of metal from Finn's line will add value and style to ANY card or tag you choose to make this holiday season!
