New PaperArtsy Products : Eclectica Minis {March 2026}


A note from Leandra:

You may remember last year we released a new PaperArtsy range of stamps under the Eclectica³ PaperArtsy series. These designs are minimal and understated, with the idea being they could be used for all kinds of under-layers across a various other designer collections.

So continuing in that vein, here are 8 Eclectica minis to join the collection. I have had so much fun with these as you will soon see. For the samples in this release, I have mostly used Oxide inks, and paired the backgrounds with plenty of Kate Crane quirky characters.


Leandra will be LIVE over in our Facebook Group, 'PaperArtsy People' shortly after this post publishes, and remember, all our new releases are ONLY available EXCLUSIVELY from our approved stockists. Please check the list at the foot of this post to find a retailer online or geographically near you, it makes sense to order within your country where possible.

Our retailers endeavour to join the designer's live to share their direct shopping links in the live chat - this makes it easy for you to find a store with product in stock immediately.


Hello everyone. Leandra here with you today

As you can see from these designs, there is a lot of flexibilty with a mix of backgrounds, focals and even some words in the mix. I adore the dfresh vibe of these designs, and can see the flexibility from journal spreads to scrapbook layouts!

Eclectica³ Mini by PaperArtsy {EM153}

These 2 patterns produce unexpected results when you start exploring how they can twist and repeat, I love howthey work together or apart, so its a twofer design! (we do trim this so they come apart with one small snip of your scissors)

 Winging It

2 oxide inks and suddenly this pattern morphs into something entirely new! I love how these inks layer up because they are opaque, it really helps to build the pattern.



Magical Life

Nothing was measured in the making of these pattern-repeats, it was all eyeballed! We try to trim the stampsclose so you can see what is going on. I love this pattern on the diagonal like this, same colours as above, but a totally different pattern unlocked!



S Bends

So I do have a trick to employ with this design now that i figured this pattern continuation out ...all eyeballed, but I think it can be made more accurate with one simple tip! Jpin me live in the sample show and tell and i shall sahre all. Such an effective background.



Eclectica³ Mini by PaperArtsy {EM154}

I used a variation of Mags Woodcock's grunge stamping technique to get the distressed oxide ink effect from the same pink and orange used in previous samples. (It's a mix of Versafine Clair Nocturne and Oxide inks). After stamping the solid blocks with that technique, I filled gaps with the squiggles.
 
Grunged Fish


This one is the same idea, but less grungy, the little triangles are from EM157. Oxide inks come into thier own here with their opaque layering ability, I do love a light over a dark combo!

Travelling

Same idea, finished with a Kate Crane bunny and a word from EM158.

Hoppy


Eclectica³ Mini by PaperArtsy {EM155}

I LOVE this chevron pattern, it is super fun to stamp multiple times, and in my samples I have been using 2 colours, to create a colourpop contrast. Super easy.
 
Look Up

OK, You are quickly realising i got carried away doing repeats of this idea. I was trying our different colours, and it was fun!
 
Funky Fish



Funky Chicken


Good Things



Catch Me



Eclectica³ Mini by PaperArtsy {EM156}

You cand follow the same pattern repeat (as I used above with the chevron) with these offset circles. Also fun to mix and match the patterns from other minis in the range. Who doesn;t like circles over circles!

Counting Spots


Eclectica³ Mini by PaperArtsy {EM157}

So I started mixing and matching by this point, but you can see the concentric circles in there and the bold arrows. I really think all these would be super fun for a scrapbook page!



Another mashed up design. 
I quite liked using clear EP over the black ink to make the focal images or features pop, like in the word, rainbow and line below.
 


Eclectica³ Mini by PaperArtsy {EM158}

To be honest, after all the white space in the previous samples, I am not really loving this background, but I have to admit, an ombre solution is easy with the Oxide inks direct to smoothy card, and again, the words are embossed. Normally I would pop a Kate character on top, but I did not want to hide the words so you can see them all!
 


Another example with the simplicity of using just one word at the end of that arrow is perfect!

And lastly we thought a couple of branch ideas would be handy to have. You can see this fine one above, a couple more ideas below ...


Another variation on that background i was addicted to!

And here we are at the final mini
