On the 3rd Day of Christmas...

...my true love gave to me...such a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE bag filled to the brim with gorgeous Finnabair items! Seriously...the Finnabair line is absolutely full of brilliant products for card makers, tag lovers, mixed-media artists, and beyond.

Today we have an extra special feature to share with you! Not only did our own design team create wondrous products, but we also invited Finn's team to join in the festive "12 Days of Christmas" fun! The more, the merrier, right? Finn's team even created a special, exclusive Art Recipe just for today!

November Art Recipe: Snowflake Paste + Stars Stencil + Glass Glitters are combined to bring the most glorious results! Just keep scrolling to see the Finn team use these amazing seasonal-perfect products.

"I decided to show you a very classic and quite simple Christmas card. I created an interesting background using Finnabair Stars stencil and Snowflake Paste. The pattern sparkles like real snow!"

"After I glued all the elements, I covered all the twigs, pine cones and berries with Snowflake Paste and, before drying, sprinkled them with Pearl Glass Glitter. As a result, I got a beautiful frosty effect." ~ ~Kasia Bogatko

"Today I'm sharing with you a Christmas card I just created. Start this card by gluing papers on a Prima packaging card base. Mix 2 collections (A4 Journaling Pad and A4 Sunrise Sunset) and a few pieces of Resist Canvas (Lace Pattern)."

"Once dry, apply 2-3 thin coats of white gesso. Draw all around the card with Oil Pastels: Cobalt Green and Dark Brown + water. Splatter drops of Color Bloom in Frost. Glue rolled paper to create a Christmas Tree. Stitch on it; on the bottom to form the tree trunk, and on the top, then glue on a vintage trinket. Stamp on paper rolls. To embellish the tree, use a flower from trim, a clear epoxy, a branch punched shape, and twine. Finally, adhere Mica Flakes with clear gesso, stamp a few dots, and add a title. Bisous!" ~Céline Régnier from France <3

(Céline sent her project even though her country has recently been attacked. We send extra love, thoughts, and prayers to everyone affected by the current events all over the world. May we pull together in these times to love and support one another. Evil will not triumph.)

"I started by applying a random layer of Heavy White Gesso on the tag. When it was dry, I covered the entire tag with all stars using a Star stencil and White Texture Paste."

"Before adding some color, I glued on a little twig. Next I went for the brown, blue and gold watercolors. I did some painting, sprinkling, spraying and dripping. I dried it with a heat tool and used black waterproof ink for random stamping."

"Then I covered the three stars and the twig in Snowflake Paste and let it dry. Next I painted them with gold watercolor. The little angel was simply painted with gold paint. I glued on the stars and the angel. I believe Christmas projects should be shiny and eye-catching, so I used Glass Glitter in gold and black. It gives the tag a luxurious and noble feel."

"I applied it on the twig and around the angel using Soft Matte Gel. Next I attached a blue gauze to the tag. I glued on the sentiments. As the final touch I added some splashes in blue and gold. Last I fastened the ribbon." ~ Denisa Gryczova

If you've never mixed Finn's products before then take heart! Joanne really went outside her comfort zone and got a little messy mixing iridescent mica and modeling paste, but just look at these glorious results! (And what an absolutely perfect sentiment right now!)

"I have used each of the Finnabair products separately on different projects, but never all together. It was quiet a big step out of my comfort zone, but something I am willing to try again at some stage." ~ Joanne Bain

"Let it snow, let it snow...a winter wonderland is truly a magical place and also very inspiring. Here is a short story of my frosty ornament. First, I fixed together the Mechanicals flowers, starry brads and metal wings. Don’t the Mechanical flowers look like icy patterns painted by frost at night?"

"Then I covered everything with frozen lake and silver Mica Powders, and also added some peacock feathers between the bases and the wings. I couldn’t resist to sprinkle the whole thing with a pinch of Micro Beads, Glass Glitter, and frosted Mica Flakes. Everything was glued down thanks to Snowflake Paste."

"I attached a flair button to the first element and a crystal at the bottom. I finished with addition of tiny stars which had been cut out with the help of Stars Stencil and were made of shrinking plastic. At the end I used a bit more Finnabair’s sprinkles once again. As we all love things that glitter, right?" ~ Olga Siedlecka

"I imagined an antique and vintage wreath ornament for today's Finnabair feature. It was very simple to do with a Vintage Mechanical Clock Piece and I love the results."

"To create it I painted 3D gloss gel on the outer periphery of the metal clock piece, then filled in the glass beads, glass glitter, and micro beads. When the light hits the ornament, it becomes sparkly !! It's so simple, but so gorgeous!!!" ~ Maiko Miwa
