Time Travellers by Olga Heldwein

I had the absolute pleasure of taking the Time Traveler sets for a little test drive — and WOW, they are amazing!

Designed with beginners in mind, yet packed with enough depth and versatility for advanced crafters to have a total blast.

A beautifully balanced mix of products and colors that blend together effortlessly — or mix and match for endless creative possibilities.

Here’s a small mixed media project I created with them — complete with a full, old-school start-to-finish tutorial!

Steam & Frost - Altered Hoop by Lanette

 Hello, you amazing creative souls!

Today I’m excited to share an Altered Hoop I created using Finnabair’s brand-new Steam & Frost Collection. This beautifully coordinated collection includes an inspiring mix of mixed media favorites—waxes, mica powders, effect pastes, and paper products—all designed to work seamlessly together. These thoughtfully curated sets also make a perfect holiday gift for a crafty friend… or a little creative treat for yourself!

For this project, I began by building the background with Steam & Frost Decoupage Fiber, then layered in a variety of resin elements to add depth, texture, and frosty charm. If you’d like to see how this hoop came together from start to finish, be sure to watch my full process video over on the Finnabair YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope this project inspires you—if only a little—to carve out some creative time in your own art space.

Until next time… hugs and have FUN creating! 💙

Signs of Winter by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends! The festive season is my favourite to create- it's cold and dark outside and there’s nothing better than sitting cosy inside with a hot cup of tea and allowing your creative imagination to wander!

For this project Finnabair’s new Steam and Frost collection was perfect. I wanted to create a small project containing lots of elements of winter. I started by painting my base and adding stencil detail. I coloured various mould elements using the Pearls and Crystals mica set. Small frame moulds are great to use with scraps of decoupage paper left over from other projects.

I layered the moulds into a design I was happy with and then added extra embellishments with mechanicals and art pebbles. Waxes, snowflake paste and crushed ice paste helped to add detail and highlighted areas over the project.
