As all the time, I am actually excited to share with you my latest launch for PaperArtsy: 3 stamp units and three new stencils.
For fairly a while I’ve wished to create a clocks stamp set and, for the reason that earlier launch, I have been obsessive about frames. I like butterflies, flowers and ephemera and I assumed it was additionally time so as to add a extra masculine set to my assortment. Though this stuff appear to not be associated in any respect, they’re all options of this launch and I’ve discovered that each one 3 stamp units work rather well collectively.
The discharge was impressed by my visits to the London Zoo and my walks in London in springtime. I all the time have my cellphone able to seize the creatures, issues or flowers I encounter on my means in order that I can draw them later. By combining my drawings and compositions with snippets of classic ephemera we get this launch with my regular classic vibe.

Eclectica³ Scrapcosy Set 33 (ESC33)
Within the London Zoo, you may go inside an enormous caterpillar and it transports you to a extremely humid and sizzling setting. This massive tunnel with a number of daylight is residence to lots of of dwelling butterflies that fly and dance round you. It is a should for me to go to them each time we go to the zoo. I loooove that place and as you may see within the stamp set, a few of these fragile creatures made it into my stamps. Their closing metamorphosis has occurred and so they’ll now survive the cross of time within the type of a stamp set! I’ve paired them with a really versatile body. It may be lower into smaller items so you may construct many frames of various styles and sizes.
One other large stamp on this set is the band with its oval body. This band is impressed by the form of some cigar bands, I hate cigars however I like their bands! The band is empty so you may adorn the ribbon on either side with any of the three patterns (4, really, as it’s also possible to use a piece of the massive body). I’ve added 3 quotes, that each one match the oval body. You too can fill it with the flowers, which I drew from a bouquet I purchased at Columbia Street Flower Market in London for my birthday. The opposite parts can be utilized to embellish any of your tasks and the ribbon on the backside is fairly versatile, so you may stamp it in a waved form if you would like.
Let your ART come true
This body appears improbable merely stamped on a 1 layered card, nonetheless I like to chop a window inside and place my parts at totally different heights utilizing foam adhesive. I like how this one turned out. You possibly can swap the blue colors for pink colors within the background, pink flowers within the body and a pink butterfly and you will get a very totally different look. And as an alternative of pink, why not orange or violet? You too can add some shiny accents on the complete oval to make the sentiment extra treasured and add shiny accents additionally on the flowers so different parts of the cardboard shine too.
You can additionally simply flip this card right into a shaker card, simply add a chunk of acetate on high of the background, mounted on a hidden body of froth adhesive and within the inside you possibly can create your individual confetti by fussy slicing some flowers of the body or a few of the dots that I stamped at either side of the oval. Even the small butterflies may very well be added among the many confetti for those who wished!
I used misery Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg and Misery Ink in Classic Photograph for the background and I colored the remainder with Infusions Golden Sands and Infusions Sleight Blue. Some elements I painted with a mixture of Infusions and water whereas the body is painted with a mixture of Infusions and Fresco End Satin Glaze. Every part is stamped with Versafine Clair Pinecone Ink, which is waterproof and a fairly darkish brown.
Eclectica³ Scrapcosy Set 34 (ESC34)
This stamp set is so playful! When I made a decision I wished a person to seem on this stamp set, I wished to have the ability to tweak him for the event. I like the concept of taking part in with dolls and dressing them, so I made a decision so as to add some interchangeable hats for him. I added some quotes so you may create playing cards for all the lads in your lives and for a lot of totally different functions. The body on the backside comes once more from the London Zoo (sure, in addition they have frames there) and it is distressed so the PaperArtsy elves can do their magic and separate the body from the quotes, so you may stamp all of them independently. And please be happy to chop the feelings aside, simply take some scissors and do some stamp surgical procedure :). I additionally wished some ephemera and a clock that would adorn your tasks and I added an much more distressed body on the highest with many potentialities, as within the earlier stamp set. The small circle is a much bigger model of the stripe of dots on ESC34.
Certainly one of a sort man
I loved creating this pattern rather a lot. I like him as a focal, you do not want rather more, however I wished him surrounded of all that ephemera and I gave him my favorite sentiment and hat of the lot. For the background I first stamped the body and embossed it with my WOW embossing powder Luxurious Chocolate from the ‘It is chilly exterior’ TRIO. I painted the body with a mixture of Golden Sands Infusion and Fresco End Satin Glaze so I might defend that a part of the paper. I then dabbed Speckled Egg Misery Oxide on the complete floor and whereas moist I used to be in a position to clear my body and take away the blue from it. In spite of everything was dried, I added some Classic Photograph Misery Ink on the perimeters with a dauber.
All that was left to do was taking part in round with the lower ephemera, the clock and dressing up my man so it stood out. Since I am utilizing a body, this card may also be reworked right into a shaker card. Simply lower the within of the body, place a chunk of acetate simply behind the body and place all on op of a barely bigger background with a hidden body of froth adhesive. Your shake bits will be these small circles and even some hats lower out.
Eclectica³ Scrapcosy Set 35 (ESC35)
This is the stamp set that has been on my thoughts for fairly a while now! I wished a reasonably large clock and I wished to have the ability to body it with flowers. The primary pattern I did with illustrates precisely what I had in my thoughts. I like flowers and I like fussy slicing them however I prefer to be quick on my tasks too, if I can, so I made it simple for me (effectively, for all of us) to chop these flowers. I drew the best flowers to fussy lower, with 4/5 petals. I additionally selected easy leaves, some tremendous simple shapes, some extra intricate however nonetheless achievable to chop.
I added an additional flower, so you may create a smaller venture if you wish to. You too can coordinate this single flower with the bouquet of three for an artwork journal unfold or a bigger venture the place it’s your decision extra parts on totally different pages. In the identical thought, I additionally added a smaller model of the clock this one with no set clock palms. These are in a separate stamp, the 4 clock palms (for two sizes of the clock). They’re organized properly, so you may both lower them away and use them on each clocks or put them again into the present composition and use them for a background. The two sentiments within the set allow you to create tasks at totally different scales.
Dwell the second, benefit from the time
That is the kind of venture I had in thoughts once I created this stamp set. Adorning an enormous clock with fussy lower flowers. I added some clear embossing powder (UTE, really) on the clock face and in addition on the sentiment which I break up in 2 as a result of I did not need to decide to one of many corners and canopy the stenciled background made with PS344, which I liked. By slicing it in 2, the background is much less coated and I feel all the things appears extra balanced.
I stamped my flowers first on the background. If I wished to repeat this venture I might keep away from that first step and never stamp them in any respect, so I might have extra freedom on the ultimate composition utilizing simply the fussy lower flowers. Trying on the card I might have most well-liked now that each one the flowers have been protecting the perimeters of the clock a bit extra.
For this different card I did cowl extra the clock and I prefer it higher. It is a smaller card, you may see it in comparison with the primary one, which is behind. I appreciated the concept of stamping the sentiment so it exceeds the boundaries of the clock. It emphasizes the message, to dream large, even larger than you suppose you must!
Giant Dimension: 6.25″ x 9.5″ (16 x 24cm) Value: RRP €6.28 +VAT
PaperArtsy Stencil 344 (PS344)
This stencil matches the three clocks on this launch, not solely those in ESC35, but in addition the one in ESC34. You possibly can create some edges for the massive clock utilizing any of the two large circles on their very own or mixed. You possibly can add some sample within the clock face or within the background with the rosette, and the sentiment ‘Time to Shine’ will be stenciled inside the massive clock face too. Then for the center measurement clock you may create an alarm clock with bells and pointy legs. And at last for the smallest clock in ESC34, you may add a body and a few circle legs. I’ve additionally added a few clock palms in case you wished so as to add some.
Time to Shine
On the left web page high you may see how the small clock on ESC34 is reworked right into a desk clock. I used grunge paste for the body and embossing powder Luxurious Chocolate on high of the elaborations (high and toes). I coated the clock face with shiny accents. Then on the center and instantly onto the web page I did a bumped stencil method the place I apply a darkish ink by means of the sentiment so as to add a shadow, then I shift the stencil and apply grunge paste on high. This time as a final step I added shiny accents on high of the letters so as to add some shine and reinforce the message.
Lastly on the backside you may see the alarm clock you can create with the small clock on ESC35. I’ve used 2 totally different colors of embossing powder (Luxurious Chocolate and Pumpkin Latte). On high of it I added some UTE too.
For the precise web page I simply added the massive clock with the sting manufactured from Grunge Paste utilizing the two large circles of the stencil. I added some Classic Photograph Misery ink on the Grunge Paste to spotlight the totally different heights I achieved.
PaperArtsy Stencil 345 (PS345)
I like layering stencils. This one may be very playful: you should use all 4 layers collectively, or mix simply a few of them, or simply use them independently. You too can shift them in between layers to get many attention-grabbing patterns.
100% Authentic
For this one I used a quite simple method, I simply added one layer after the subsequent utilizing totally different Misery Oxide inks, that are opaque, so one covers the others. I added some clear embossing powder on high and I simply added the person with that easy label so I would not cowl that good background an excessive amount of. That is simply utilizing inks, however take a look at my closing venture down under, to see how beautiful it appears for those who use Grunge Paste for all of the layers. You can additionally mix flat inked layers with some GP layers to get an even extra attention-grabbing look.
PaperArtsy Stencil 346 (PS346)
I like this stencil! I’ve seen many individuals embroidering flowers on Instagram these days so I had in my thoughts to create a stencil that may very well be use for that function as effectively. However for those who’re not into embroidery, in fact you should use this stencil to create tremendous simple backgrounds. It’s what I did for my first venture under. I used Grunge Paste over all of the design however you possibly can use totally different colors to stencil every a part of the flower, both with paints or with inks. The totally different shapes of flowers and leaves within the stencil allow you to adorn corners, stripes and whole backgrounds.
Only for you
I liked how the background turned out with the Misery Oxide distressed layer and the Grunge Pate stenciled bouquet. I did not need to cowl any of it! So I went for a really minimalist card.
I simply picked the three butterflies from ESC33 and added one phrase on every of them so between all of them you may learn the sentiment and so they appear to be flying by means of the flowers.
Embroidered flower
I used to be happy once I completed embroidering this! I am a beginner on embroidery. Nicely, I did some once I was round 10 years outdated… then some cross stitching at 15, so I had some rusty data on the matter. I hadn’t embroidered or cross-stitched once more till the pandemic began, in 2020, once I tried embroidering a few small flowers following an Instagram reside. I did not end that venture nevertheless it launched me to the French knot which I used from reminiscence within the centre of the flower (I am positive it may be performed neater).
Step 1: marking
I selected a Frixion pen (which ink will be eliminated by making use of warmth with the warmth instrument, for instance) to hint the flower and leaves by means of the stencil. I discovered that doing a dotted line was simpler and quicker than making an attempt to observe all the perimeters of the stencil with the pen.
After that I attempted embroidering the petals and I liked how cumbersome they appear! So I continued afterward with the remainder.
Mission: Traveller of the yr
For this card I made a decision to make use of all 3 units in a single and I like the outcome! I added a pair of wings to the person, so he can fly by means of the world and be the Traveller of the yr. Is not it the proper hat for a globe trotter? The background was created with PS345 including 4 layers of Grunge paste and Golden Sands Infusions on high as soon as it was dry. I like the grungy look!
Flowers from ESC35 adorn each corners, mixed with ephemera from ESC34. Every part was watercoloured with a few of my go-to Infusions colors : Golden Sands, Sleight Blue and Olive tree, then aged with Classic Photograph Misery ink. The body and the highest and backside strains are from ESC33 and I’ve embossed them in Gold and in Luxurious Chocolate WOW embossing powder.
I simply love how he appears to drift within the air, casting these shadows since I mounted all items utilizing foam adhesive.
That was all for right this moment within the weblog, I hope you appreciated the discharge. I actually find it irresistible! Please be part of me and the PaperArtsy staff and stockists on the PaperArtsy folks Fb web page, I will be going reside shortly and I’ll present you a pair extra samples I’ve made.
