Art journal page by Lanette

 Hello, all you amazing creative people!

Today I'm excited to share an Art Journal page that I created using a beautiful mix of Finnabair favorites! For the foundation, I started with a sheet from the Stargazer Collection, then built up layers of rich color and texture using paints and gorgeous Metallic Flakes. I love how the vibrant blues, touches of gold, and dimensional textures came together to create a dreamy, artistic background for my focal collage.

One of my favorite things about art journaling is the freedom to experiment. There are no rules—just layers, textures, and creativity leading the way. It's the perfect place to play with your favorite mixed media products and see where the creative journey takes you!

If you'd like to see exactly how this page came together, be sure to check out my start-to-finish process video over on the Finnabair YouTube Channel, where I walk you through each step from the first layer to the finishing details.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I truly hope this project inspires you to pull out your favorite supplies, embrace the creative process, and spend a little time making something just for you.

Until next time... Hugs, and have FUN creating!

Vintage wooden box by Kasia Salmanowicz

 Hello!

I always love using papers from the Butterfly Effect collection by Finnabair and 7 Dots Studio. They fit my style perfectly, making the creative process a real pleasure.

This time, I’ve decorated the lid of a flat wooden box. The base is a sheet from the Butterfly Effect collection, complemented by pre-cut elements from two new sets that come together to form a beautiful composition.

I also added driftwood sticks, lace scraps, HDF elements, and paper flowers from Prima. I arranged all the decorations to create a dimensional look, giving the project depth and an interesting structure. Finally, I lightly whitewashed the piece and finished it off with Art Stones, which added extra texture to the composition.

If you’d like to see the step-by-step creation process, I invite you to watch the video tutorial I prepared. The video is available on the Finnabair YouTube channel.

Enjoy the video, and see you next time for more inspiration!

Have a nice day,

Kasia Salmanowicz

Art Journal Page "Professional Dreamer" by Priss BlaFu

Hello! I'm Priss.

Today I’m sharing a soft blue art journal page full of layered papers, stitched details, shimmer, and a dreamy focal point.

I started by cutting my main image from Decoupage Fiber Paper and mounting it onto a white gesso base, so the image would stay clean and bright. Then I prepared several tags from the Stargazer paper collection, testing lighter and darker options before choosing the darker ones for stronger contrast.

One of my favorite parts of this project was creating a custom blue spray to match the mood of the page. I mixed water, mica powder, a tiny touch of deep blue Liquid Acrylic, and a few drops of Liquid Fluid Medium to help bind the mica.

Creating my own spray allowed me to control the color intensity and repeat the same tone in different areas of the project. I used it on selected parts of the background and also to dye white silk ribbons, so the whole page would feel more connected.

To add more texture, I distressed the tag edges, added white stamping, and stitched over the printed stitched design with my sewing machine.

The background has soft pearl texture through a stencil, selected areas of blue spray, and dark blue stamping for extra depth. For the main composition, I layered tags, old book paper, lace, dyed ribbon, torn papers, and ephemera pieces.

At one point, I decided to trim the focal image and place it inside an ephemera frame. This helped the portrait feel more balanced and gave the page a clearer story.

The sentiment “Professional Dreamer” felt perfect for her: polished, ambitious, and full of dreams.

I finished the page with white splatters for light, movement, and balance.

I hope this project inspires you to look at your supplies in a more personal way. Sometimes a small custom color mix is enough to make all the layers feel like they truly belong together.

Happy creating! 💙

Priss
