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...

- 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
