Hi friends! This week I’m delighted to show you my newest releases from PaperArtsy! I’ll share images below but I’d invite you to also pop on over to the PaperArtsy blog for more, and check out the Facebook Live I did last night for PaperArtsy, where we looked at the projects you see below PLUS others!

Leaves, leaves, leaves! Some of my favorite images, and so easy to work with. They work really well for simple stamping, and embossing.
I’ve wanted a sea-themed stamp set for ages! In my mind, this is more representative of the cold and windy Oregon coast than a balmy seaside retreat… but those of you with sunny beaches can let me know if it works for you too! 😉
Lately I’ve been making a lot of Art Folders… painting and decorating plain stationery-shop paper folders and adding stamping and embossing. I need these folders because I have an embarrassing amount of ephemera, tickets, slips of paper and interesting doo-dads that I want to save but that also have a tendency to get lost or damaged if I’m not careful. This stamp set is meant to give me some word options for decorating the folders—and work well for art journals and cards.
And we have stencils… while these are designed to coordinate with the stamps, they can also be mixed and matched with each other and with older ESN releases.
This stencil can be used as an all-over design, or you can stipple, ink, emboss or texture-paste specific areas. Flip it over to get the reverse of the design (ah, but watch those words don’t read backwards!).
Just regular enough to read as lines, these pointy dots are also wonky enough to be interesting, too! Use the stencil horizontally, or stencil vertically to take advantage of the uneven edges.
The Notetaker stencil has loads of great options for art journaling and handmade books… but works brilliantly on tag art and cards too!
Oh—and if you’re wondering, the embellishments are made of Quick Cure Clay from Ranger… this is a kiln-free clay that hardens with a heat tool. You can stamp into it before heat-setting, then color with paint or other mediums, and also clear-emboss for shine. Want to see more? Then join in this weekend for a demo at the Stampers Grove Facebook page!
I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the new stamps and stencils! If you didn’t get a chance yet, you can see more over on the PaperArtsy blog for today, and the PaperArtsy People Facebook page.
