My digital printable artist paper and artist paper collage kits can be used for many types of mixed media projects including collage and art journaling backgrounds. In January, I shared my one little word: NEW
and the collage panel I created to remind me of what I wanted to
experience with my OLW in 2013. Here's a step-by-step tutorial using a
mixture of my collage paper kits.
materials needed for this project:
- cardboard and/or chipboard
- scissors
- printable artist paper by treiCdesigns DIGITALS
- artist papers from Graffiti GLAM stamp set #2
- SPARKLEspring printable artist papers
- Collage Pauge Matte
- Tulip Paint Pouncer foam brush
- misc papers like graph paper index cards
- {optional} Janome DC2012 sewing machine
project steps:
- cut strips from various pieces of printed collage papers
- brush Collage Pauge onto surface of cardboard then adhere the cut strips over the top, brush on another layer of Collage Pauge to seal the papers.
- use fingers to smooth out paper to make sure its free of air bubbles.
- TIP: keep a wet paper towel or wipe handy, to clean hands
- continue to add strips of paper adhered with Collage Pauge alternating colors and papers
- write quotes and journal in between the collage pieces with a permanent pen
- let the collage cardboard panel dry
- cut out a word or letters from chipboard or fedex envelope. I cut out the word "NEW"
- free motion stitch over the dried collage board then stitch cut letters onto the collaged cardboard with a sewing machine. Alternatives to sewing include stapling, gluing, hand stitching or using tape.
more ideas...
- Use this technique to create two cardboard panels for art journal covers
- collage strips into a journal page
- collage strips of paper onto heavy duty fabric like unbleached drill cloth
- print the artist papers on inkjet fabric sheets and glue or stitch them to a manila folder
- glue strips on 3"x 4" card stock to create journaling cards
- make party invitations or handmade cards using this technique

Thanks so much for sharing how you did this, I loved the way yout did this. Great idea to make these book covers too. This came out sooooo COOL!!
My quote that I try to live by is from what my mom taught us. Do unto others as you'd have them do to you. I tell my kids everyday before going to school. BE KIND TO EVERYONE!!
The one I'm living by now is a new one I saw on Julie Balzar's post. Trying to be there more for my husband and showing him I do love him and appreciate all he does for us.
For better
For worse
but NEVER
for Granted
I love what this means and do my best to show him daily. I'm blessed to have such an awesome husband.
Thanks for another fun post!!'Will have to come back tonight to catch up!!

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being could fight - and keep fighting. (E.E.Cummings)
