What is mixed media paper?

Mixed media paper is a special type of paper designed to handle a wide variety of creative techniques. Unlike standard drawing or watercolour paper, mixed media paper is versatile enough to support both wet and dry mediums, making it perfect for layered projects. Its durability ensures that paints, inks, and adhesives can be applied without tearing or warping.

Different types of mixed media paper

At Vaessen Creative, mixed media paper is part of the mixed media supplies collection. It is available in pads or individual sheets, often with a heavier weight that gives extra strength. The surface can range from smooth, ideal for detailed stamping and pen work, to lightly textured, which provides grip for watercolours, inks, or gesso. This flexibility makes mixed media paper suitable for techniques such as blending, layering, and collage.

Creative hobbies & projects with mixed media paper

Mixed media paper is ideal for creative hobbies that combine different materials. In art journaling, it is the perfect base for layering inks, paints, and embellishments while still being strong enough for stamping or sketching. In card making, mixed media paper works well for backgrounds made with blending tools, embossing powders, or glitter. Another inspiring idea is in Christmas crafting, where you can use mixed media paper for festive tags, ornaments, or layered decorations with paint and sequins. With mixed media paper, your projects can handle a mix of techniques with ease.

Why choose mixed media paper for your projects?

The main advantage of mixed media paper is its versatility. It allows you to experiment with wet mediums like watercolour or acrylic paint while also working beautifully with dry techniques such as pencils or markers. This makes it the perfect all-in-one base for crafters who love to mix styles.
