PaperArtsy Scrapcosy Spring Tulip Cards

Hi friends and happy Easter weekend!  I’m so thankful that He is risen indeed!  I had a little crafty time with some friends and we had a good play with Raquel’s/aka Scrapcosy stamps by PaperArtsy. 

I picked out some pages from Raquel’s Art Journal Volume 1 collage book and lightly brayered first a darker color of PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics. Then lightly brayered a lighter color. For the green page I used Granny Smith and Peppermint. Sadly, I didn’t note the other colorways. :(

I overstamped the tulips from ESC31. 

I then stamped images from ESC30 in the background using coordinating colors of Distress Oxides. 

I colored each flower with colored pencils, using white as a blender and to make the colors pop against the background. 

I finished each card with stitching and crocheted lace. And added a stamped sentiment from ESC29. I hope you are inspired by these grungy spring makes and have a wonderful Easter weekend. xx, Autumn 

 

PaperArtsy Sea Creature Accordion Mini Album

 

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing a fun little accordion mini book I made with my gel prints a while back.  It sat unadorned for ages and finally I decided to break out my PaperArtsy stamps and fill it up. I shared a video on making the gel prints with household objects HERE way back.  I made another little book with this design HERE.  The book design was inspired by Tracy Evan's video she shared HERE during Covid lockdown.  It was so much fun that I've now made three of these books, including my rendition of Tracy's HERE!

My album was inspired by a fun clothing tag that came off of my son's swimming trunks and the colors were perfect. 

I filled the pages with images stamped onto my gel prints, inspired by the sea.  I used a combination of stamps by Sara Naumann and Scraposy by PaperArtsy (ESN48, ESN54, ESN55, ESN59, ESN61, ESC10 and ESC12).  I just let myself have a good long play with the stamps as a way to destress.  It worked a treat! 

 

On the front cover I used some die cuts by Art by Marlene.  I added a grommet to string the ribbon through as a closure.  And here are shots of the book extended, front and back.  

 

I really hope it inspires you today and you will imagine your toes in the sand with the waves pouring in.  My husband and youngest son and I just went to the seashore and had a wonderful week.  Here is a photo of the full moon at a family dinner which was so dynamic!  xx, Autumn

PaperArtsy Scrapcosy and Tracy Scott Mixed Media Cards

 

Hi friends!  I've got a few PaperArtsy projects to share with you today.  These were blogged for Topflight Stamps and I hope they will be an inspiration to you today.  First, I shared a few mushroom collage thank you cards HERE using gorgeous stamps by Raquel Burillo Perez, AKA Scrapcozy.  Raquel has a new mushroom stamp set out now and I will be sharing more with it soon...

This bird card features another of Raquel's beautiful stamp sets, with a gel printed background and quote by Alison Bomber.  Details HERE.

This year I've really enjoyed playing with the gel plate more than ever.  Here are some bookmarks and a card I made from a print turned into masterboard with Tracy Scott stamps & stencils.  Details HERE.

As I look back, I find I've used Tracy Scott stamps more than any other this year!  Here's a grungy tag made with another of her flower sets, inspired by Claire Snowdon.  Details HERE.

And some more tags with Tracy's flowers.  Now these were extra special to me with a fun new Infusions technique, so I shared a video tutorial on my IGTF @sewpaperpaint HERE.  They are blogged HERE.

I guess I've been on a tag making kick too!  Here's a layered tag book I made with Tracy's stamps on double-sided gel prints and posted HERE. 

And a batch of cards using all of the stamps above.  :)  All these made from one batch of Infusions and I didn't want to waste a bit.  Details HERE. 

And then some fun with Tracy's bug stamps.  I love these so much because the insect stamps are so big!  I really love PaperArtsy because the images are larger than most other companies and work great for mixed media and my often 5x7" cards.  Details on this post HERE.

One last trio of cards with the bugs for now.  This was a fun background technique that I hope you'll try.  Find the process HERE.  I hope you've enjoyed these projects!  Your visits to the Topflight Stamps blog help to keep me on the design team, and able to share new content.  I truly appreciate your support my friends!  Big hugs, Autumn
