Hi Everyone, Tracy with you

A very Happy 2026 to you all…. Here we are again with my first release for this year. 

Flowers,  butterflies and patterns oh my…. All my favourite things in one release. 

Red Rubber Stamps (A5)

Price: RRP €23.00 +VAT    

Size:5" x 6" (13 x16.5cm)

All stamps are individually trimmed onto cling foam, with a laminated storage/index sheet.

Tracy Scott Collection set 104 {TS104}

Well you might have nolticed by now that I love a butterfly stamp and I'm always looking for new additions to my collection and even if I say so myself... this one is just gorgeous... swirls, leaves and flowers wings... what's not to love.  Also I'm thinking g that the wings could actually be cut apart and used a foliage for a completely different look.

This sample simply showcases this guy in all his glory.... I've added some of the flowers from the set to create 3D elements on his wings and added him with those glorious colours to my acrylic and alcohol background....  Isn't he just stunning?

 

Of course I always like to be able to do other things with my stamps so for this sample I used them to create and colour this fabulous mandala.... I bet you wouldn't have even noticed the butterfly if I hadn't told you it was there? Using the smaller stamps in the set helps to fill in all the spaces and the options for using them in this way are unlimited.

Tracy Scott Collection set 105 {TS105}

Flowers flowers and more flowers.... I have created many flower stamps over the years as they are one of the things I enjoy drawing the most.  Its always important to me to create sets that are versatile and that will stand the test of time≥

The addition of additional petals and flower centres in this set means you can n to only make the flowers bigger but can also create new flowers in any size for any project. Combined with previous sets (I have lots with additional petals and centres)  there really are lots of possibilities to explore your creativity.

This sample is in my colouring book small art journal.... masking and layering and colouring with my prismacolor pencils is just one of my favourite things to do. An easy technique that is relaxing to do and perfect when you are on the go as you don't need a lot of supplies.

 

When I first started art journaling I loved to add black and white images to brightly coloured backgrounds.. ( I actually didn't enjoy colouring at that time and it was the lazy solution! ) This art journal page was inspired by those times as I had this black and white image and a previously made floral wreath from a class demo just laying on my desk..... I just knew I had to create a blast from the past!

Gold embossed flowers in the background and a few black and white florals and the page came together. I actually cut the centre out of the larger flower on this set to make it fit the wreath... perfect!

Tracy Scott Collection set 106 {TS106}

Leaves, petals, mandala/pattern shapes..... yes all of the above.... 

When I created this set the initial idea was to have some doodled leaves that could be used with previously released doodle flower sets and of course they can certainly be used in that way but I realised quite quickly that they could be so much more...

For example use them with the flower centres from the new floral set and you have unlimited combinations of beautiful doodled flowers. Use them to create beautiful mandala patterns... uses them for background patterns and stamping... I just know this one is going to be used in so many different ways...

This sample showcases the mandala aspect... we all know I love a mandala and the beauty of using this application is that the shapes can be extended out indefinitely to create a larger focal that would be perfect t for a home decor piece... the possibilities really are endless with this one.

The sample below just shows a simple technique of using  some of the stamps and adding gold embossing powder into the background to alter what could have been a very plain and boring page into something truly stunning. I love to use tone on tone stamping and this would look fabulous on black paint with either black ink or black embossing powder as well don't you think?

Tracy Scott Stencils {Large}

Price: RRP €6.58 +VAT

Large Size: 6.25" x 9.5" (16 x 24cm) 

Robust mylar designed to offer longevity, deep texture and easy clean up

PaperArtsy Stencil by Tracy Scott 497 {PS497}

Did I already mention how much I love butterflies and flowers... I'm sure I haven't....

A butterfly stencil has been on my to do list for a very long time and I just knew now was the time to bring it to life. And of course with the added florals along the bottom there are plenty of options for this one.... Perfect for backgrounds and well as focal points this one has it all.

This is a large butterfly (approximately 5.5 inches in size) so it really does make a big impact on this art journal page below along with some of the flowers from the stencil too.... you could literally add a few words to this page and it really wouldn't need anything else... job done! 

So below I decided to take it a step further and create some 3D wings for my image... The butterfly is super easy to use as a template for cutting out and that's how I created her beautiful wings.... perfect finishing touch to the page.

PaperArtsy Stencil by Tracy Scott 498 {PS498}

 

Hearts and flowers are always a winner and this large heart is perfect to use as per the large butterfly for a super bold background statement as well as a focal image for card projects, again having there additional florals on the stencil means it will be extra versatile.

The sample below is in my small colouring book art journal and coloured with prismacolor pencils, this large stencil would also be perfect as a template for a cut page ( I think I need to try that next!)

 

The sample below shows the floral elements of the stencil used in one of my art journal backgrounds.... grunge paste or embossing powder would work equally well to create interest to any page.

PaperArtsy Stencil by Tracy Scott 499 {PS499}

My last product for this release is this beautiful stained glass stencil with additional florals. This one I knew straight away was going to be perfect to be used as a template for a cut page as per the sample below but I also cannot wait to trace this out and colour it in.... or maybe some reactive painting on a bright and colourful art journal page... and of course those florals will be perfect to use in any background.

And how fabulous does it look combined with both the new florals set as well as the doodle leaves.... I really can't wait to play some more.

Thank you so much for joining me tonight for my first release of 2026, I hope I have given you some inspiration and can't wait to see what you create.

Dont forget to join me on the PaperArtsy People Facebook Group shortly to share these samples and probably a few more.

NEW PaperArtsy Products: Seth Apter {Jan 2026}

A note from Leandra

Nothing like a bit of grunge from Seth Apter to get your muse up and running, but wow, just look at how he has mixed it up across these samples for this release, absolutely stunning. 

A touch of pinky purple emerges with some watery blues and the transparent floral rub-ons softens the whole vibe - its saying hello spring to me! However, don't miss a deep dive into the caramel-toffee with red splashes because that offers another 'style' of Seth. This versatility of his designs are what allow you to go in so many directions. 

Seth will be along to share with you LIVE his new products and ideas over in our Facebook Group, 'PaperArtsy People' shortly after this post publishes.

 

These stamps are 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 also endeavour to join the designer's live to share their direct shopping links - this makes it super easy for you to find a store with product in stock immediately.

 

Hi all. Seth here with you

Exciting times at PaperArtsy with new releases this week. I am bringing you three, hot off the presses (literally), stamp sets. I traveled a different path for my last stamps sets, which were created with my French retreat in mind. This time, the designs are classic Seth. You know the recipe --- a cup of grungy, a tablespoon of abstract, a pound of mark making, a sprinkling of words, a liter of circles, two dashes of linear, and a few surprises. I also made sure that all the designs in all three of the sets could work together. In any combination. I hope you love them... 

 

I'd like to introduce you to my january 2026 release ....... 

Red Rubber Stamps (A5)

Price: RRP €23.00 +VAT    

Size:5" x 6" (13 x16.5cm)

All stamps are individually trimmed onto cling foam, with a laminated storage/index sheet.

Eclectica Seth Apter Set 49 (ESA49)

DISCOVER CURIOSITIES

As many of you know, I am from NYC and my designs are often inspired by the vibe and energy of city life. But you might also know that I love nature and sometimes bring that to my work as well, as can be seen in this piece I call Discover Curiosities.

My art often leans into warm, earthy tones. And this stamp design in ESA 49 -- could be a leaf, could be a tree, those could be roots -- brings a softer tone to this artwork. I used it twice as the element also serves as a border or frame to all the details on the surface. 

 

 

The gaps and spaces within this design of course reflect the natural randomness of nature but they also serve to add a bit of grunge. I just couldn't resist.

Much of my work includes words as I love them for both the meaning and the design components. For this release, I designed a series of words as if they have been hand carved into an eraser at home.

LOOK WITHIN

This piece leans into my nature vibe as well but also highlights my love of words and phrases. 

In addition to the plant in the lower left corner, the phrase LOOK WITHIN from ESA 49 serves as the focal point. And the random, concentric circles around the letters really pull you in.

This simple line of squiggles has quickly become a favorite as it can be used in so many ways - as a border, a frame, an underline, a background detail, and more. 

INSPIRE

ESA 49 has seven stamps -- and many of my favorites from this release. In here you will find backgrounds and abstract focal designs, some city and edge and a bit of nature, words and phrases, and lots more. 

 

I love using stamps in my work in as many ways as possible. In this piece, the bold color highlights the line stamp from this set, which serves as the backdrop for the plus stamp - rendered here in dark tones for more contrast. The choices for these layers really draw in the eye. 

 

As mentioned above, all the designs in all the sets are interchangeable. So for this piece I added the word INSPIRE from ESA 50.

 

Eclectica Seth Apter Set 50 (ES50)

MAGICAL THINKING

All the sets have both bold, linear elements along with softer, curvy designs. And the curves are very evident in Set ESA 50.

 

The stamp used in the upper left hand corner really adds a softer dimension to this piece. The words, pulled from an antique French document, are curvy script. A bold and wonky series of overlapping concentric circles are overlayed. And a more subtle circle is evident (if you look closely) from the original postmark from the document. 

 

And once again, words...and circles... play a big role in both Set ESA 50 and this artwork. This is echoed with other words scattered in the background.

OBSERVE

I want to see how observant you are. Before you keep reading, how many of the stamp designs from Set ESA 50 - and the others - do you see in this piece?

 

I spy six designs -- four from ESA 50 and one each from the other two sets. Perhaps the most obvious is the concentric circle stamp, here used in multiple and placed in such a way that your eyes is guided across the surface. I think this stamp lends itself to a lot of creative uses. 

The wonky line stamp, shown horizontally on the cover sheet, was turned and stamped vertically as a background at the base of this piece. Stamps from each of the other two sets were then layered over.

The scratchy, messy background stamp lies below the word INSPIRE to add detail, interest, depth, and a bit of mark making.

Eclectica Seth Apter Set 51 (ESA51)

EXHIBIT 7

The only thing I love more than a swatch stamp is a swatch stamp with a twist and ESA 51 includes that as much of the swatching space is filled in and darkened. 

Here they are left blank so that the background show though but in the piece right above this - Observe - your can see the cool effect when color is added.  

This piece also highlight the simplest of stamps - a plus sign in the center of a circle - which is used here almost like a postmark. 

MAKE MEMORIES

Being a More is More person, most of my pieces include many of the stamps from the new sets - and others too. For Make Memories I went with a single stamp. 

I designed this stamp to reflect the fact that the journey we usually take so that we can make memories is often bumpy, uneven, and not always smooth.

The focus on the words is echoed in all the other letters and text scatter about. And once again, the nature feel is evident here as well.

BELIEVE

Like the piece above, BELIEVE uses a single stamp from set ESA 51. And with that title, it is easy to guess which one. 

There are a lot of details in this piece and I think your eyes are likely first drawn to the large and dark line of numbers. But in the end, I think it is the word that brings the feeling to this piece. And I do believe the feel of hand carving here makes it even better.

MEMORY

Memory could have been shared as part of either ESA 49 or ESA 51. Each contributes a single stamp. 

 

The stamp from ESA 51 - my Enso design - serves here as a symbolic frame, provides a sense of movement, and invites you to look inside. The text stamp from ESA 49 also pulls you into the art as you try to read the words. But I think it is fun when the words are not legible, in another language, or are too distressed to read and that was my thought behind this design. For this reason I designed this large text stamp for ESA 49. 

I think this is also a good example of the importance of using these stamps in a way that makes them your own. In my mind, by layering these two stamps, I have created what could have been a separate stamp in the set. In orders words...do it your way and not mine.  

I hope as you went through this post these stamps serve as inspiration for you and that you are overflowing with ideas of how these -- and all of your stamps -- could be used. It is all about play and boy did I have fun making these samples. 

As always, sending my endless thanks to the PaperArtsy crew for giving both myself and all of you the opportunity to use these stamps. Cannot wait to see what you do!
