As an artist and art journal enthusiast, I can't wait to dive into this exciting collection, and I'm bringing you along for the ride.

Let’s Make an Art Journal Page Together

Once the unboxing excitement settled, I dove straight into creating! In the video, I demonstrate step-by-step how to use Seth Apter's new dies to craft a beautiful art journal page. Here’s a sneak peek into the process.

Step 1: Gathering Supplies

Before we dive in, let's gather the essential supplies you’ll need. Along with the Sizzix collection, make sure to have the following:

• A mixed-media art journal

• Watercolor paint

• Adhesive for die cuts

• Pens and markers for doodling

Step 2: Building Layers

One of the most fascinating aspects of art journaling is layering. Seth's designs shine in this process. I used the dies to cut shapes to create and add texture to the background of my page.

The versatility of shapes allows for endless combinations. I used the Twisters thinlit dies on the background and layered on top with parts of the Waffles thinlit die to bring your eye to the focal point. Experimenting with colors and patterns is key. Don't overthink it! Just start with your favorite color and add complementary colors to build visual interest.

Step 3: Adding the Focal Point

Next, I added Word Wafers #1 thinlit die and used the word 'Imagine' from Seth’s collection. The beauty of this set is that you have the option to build layers to create this word or just use one layer. I wanted this to be my focal point and to stand out from the background, so I added the letters as a second layer to bring them forward.

Step 4: Final Touches

In the final stages, I added small doodles to the page. Adding marks to your page and possibly some notes or text can help to add a personal touch and make it more interesting. This is where your individual style shines through, allowing your creativity to express who you are.

Even for those who don’t consider themselves artists, Seth Apter’s new collection invites everyone to explore their creative side, making it accessible to all.
