Mini junk journal with EMW {by Mi Mi}

Salut tout le monde, c'est Mi Mii ! (@themy32) Je suis ravie d'être à nouveau avec vous aujourd'hui !

Hi everyone, Mi Mii here, happy to share with you a new blog post today

Cette année, sur le blog, nous avons toute liberté pour explorer les produits PaperArtsy de notre choix, et je vous avoue que le mien s'est rapidement arrêté sur l'incroyable collection de Mags Woodcock. Une gamme complète composée de 3 grandes planches, 8 minis stamps et 3 stencils, riches en motifs, textes et chiffres !  Tout un univers que j'adore !

Au travers de cet article, je vais vous faire découvrir ce que m'ont inspiré tous ces magnifiques designs.

This year, on the blog, we’ve been given free rein to explore the PaperArtsy products of our choice, and I must admit that I was immediately drawn to Mags Woodcock’s incredible collection. It’s a growing range cand so far there are 3 large stamp sets, 8 mini stamps and 3 stencils, packed with patterns, text and numbers!  It’s a whole world of creativity that I absolutely love!

In this post, I’ll be sharing with you what all these beautiful designs have inspired me to create.

J'aime particulièrement imaginer, créer et réaliser de A à Z, la structure de mes projets. Comme dans beaucoup de mes créations, j'y ai intégré des choses destinées à être jetées. Récupérer, recycler, transformer, mon leitmotiv ! Quand des déchets deviennent un mini Junk coloré et original.

Je vous amène avec moi dans mon processus créatif.

I particularly enjoy imagining, designing and creating the structure of my projects from start to finish.

As with many of my creations, I’ve incorporated items that were destined for the bin. Reusing, recycling, transforming – that’s my motto! When rubbish becomes colourful and original mini junk.

Let me take you through my creative process.

Passons en revue le matériel que j'ai utilisé. Pour la base j'ai découpé des cartes au format ATC, dans le papier smoothy de PaperArtsy (SCA4H) et j'ai collé sur chacune, des chutes de tissus en coton blanc. Pour les couleurs j'ai sélectionné 2 couleurs d'infusion PaperArtsy, la Golden sand (CS05) et la Are you cerise (CS08). J'ai également utilisé la grunge paste PaperArtsy (GP190) pour apporter un peu de matière. Pour ce qui est des tampons et des pochoirs j'ai utilisé la quasi totalité de la collection de Mags Woodcock à savoir les grandes planches (EMW001-EMW003) les minis stamps (EM145-EM152) et les 3 pochoirs (PS506-PS508)

Let’s take a look at the materials I used. For the base, I cut out ATC-sized cards from PaperArtsy’s Smoothy paper (SCA4H) and glued scraps of white cotton fabric onto each one. For the colours, I chose two PaperArtsy Infusion colours: Golden Sand (CS05) and Are You Cerise (CS08). I also used PaperArtsy Grunge Paste (GP190) to add a bit of texture. 

As for the stamps and stencils, I used almost the entire Mags Woodcock collection, namely the large sheets (EMW001-EMW003), the mini stamps (EM145-EM152) and the three stencils (PS506-PS508).

Je commence par découper toutes mes cartes au format ATC dans le papier Smoothy PaperArtsy (SCA4H) 

I start by cutting out all my ATC-sized cards from PaperArtsy Smoothy Paper (SCA4H) 

Je fais également la même chose dans mon coupon de tissus

I do exactly the same with my fabric stash.

Et je viens coller mon tissus sur la base papier avant l'étape de la couture et de la reliure des pages entre elles.

And I stick my fabric onto the paper backing before sewing the pages together and binding them.

J'ai passé chaque ATC à la machine à coudre pour fixer le tissu sur le papier et je les ai ensuite reliées entre elles, 2x2,  à l'aide d'une bande de tissu. J'ai fait pas mal de couture sur ce projet mais il est tout à fait possible de réaliser la base uniquement en utilisant de la colle. Personnellement j'aime le rendu avec couture et j'en met dans tous mes projets !

I sew each ATC onto the paper using a sewing machine and then joined them together in pairs using a strip of fabric. I did quite a bit of sewing on this project, but it’s perfectly possible to create the base using just glue. Personally, I love the look of the stitching and I generally include it in all my projects!

une enveloppe cartonnée en guise de couverture et voilà ma structure fin prête à accueillir la couleur, les tamponnages de fonds et la déco !

a cardboard envelope as a cover, and there you have it – my base is all set to be painted, stamped with background patterns and decorated!

Pour la fermeture j'ai utilisé une petite chute de l'enveloppe cartonnée, une pression et le tour est joué !

Simple et efficace !

To close it, I used a small scrap of the cardboard envelope, a press stud, and that’s it!

Simple and effective!!

Passons maintenant à la phase la plus intéressante dans une création, celle où notre projet prend forme ! Je commence par tamponner tous mes fonds avec la Stazon. Ici j'ai utilisé différents tampons de la planche (EMW003), tellement complète, elle regroupe à elle seule tous les éléments que j'aime associer dans une page, à savoir, des chiffres, des textes et des motifs ! Parfait pour créer tout une ambiance même si on souhaite utiliser qu'une seule planche.

Let’s now move on to the most exciting part of the creative process – the stage where our project really starts to take shape! 

I start by stamping all my backgrounds with Stazon. Here I’ve used various stamps from the sheet (EMW003); it’s so comprehensive that it contains all the elements I love to combine on a page – namely, numbers, text and patterns! Perfect for creating a complete project.

Je tamponne aléatoirement, en associant grandes planches, ici la (EMW003) et minis stamps, ici celui avec un effet tâches le (EM151).Tous ces motifs se marient et se mixent parfaitement.

Comme vous pouvez le voir sur cette photo mes tamponnages ne sont pas très nets, ceci est dû à mon support qui est, je vous le rappelle du coton à la trame assez épaisse. Personnellement cela ne me dérange absolument pas car je vais rajouter des éléments par dessus et cela donne un aspect grunge et imparfait que j'aime avoir dans mes créations.

I stamp randomly, combining large stamps – in this case the (EMW003) – with mini stamps, such as the one with a splatter effect (EM151). All these designs blend and mix together perfectly.

As you can see in this photo, my stamping isn’t very crisp; this is due to my base material, which, as I mentioned, is cotton fabric with a fairly thick weave. Personally, it doesn’t bother me at all because I’m going to add elements on top, and it gives a grungy, imperfect look that I like to have in my creations.

Un peu de Grunge Paste PaperArtsy (GP190) avec le pochoir chiffres de Mags Woodcock (PS508). Il faut savoir que la pate de structure tient très bien sur tissu et apporte relief et matière au projet final.

A little PaperArtsy Grunge Paste (GP190) with Mags Woodcock’s number stencil (PS508). It’s worth noting that the texture paste adheres very well to fabric and adds texture and depth to the finished project.

Pour colorer mes fonds j'ai utilisé les  poudres infusion de PaperArtsy. Je ne les avais jamais utilisées sur tissu et le rendu, waouh  ! canon ! les couleurs gardent tout leur éclat et se mixent bien entre elle si l'on mouille bien le support tissu au départ. Je pulvérise donc de l'eau sur mon tissu

To colour my backgrounds, I used PaperArtsy’s Infusion powders. I’d never used them on fabric before, and the result is – wow! – stunning! The colours retain all their vibrancy and blend beautifully together if you make sure the fabric is thoroughly dampened to start with. So I make sure to spray water onto my fabric

j'ai préalablement préparé des jus avec mes infusions, ici j'utilise la PaperArtsy golden sand (CS05) je viens l'appliquer sur ma base humide avec un pinceau à réservoir d'eau. La couleur se diffuse parfaitement ! j'adore !

I’ve prepared some ink washes using my ink blends beforehand; here I’m using PaperArtsy Golden Sand (CS05). I’m applying it to my damp fabric base with a water brush. The colour blends beautifully! I love it!

Je procède de même avec mon autre couleur d'infusion la Are You Cerise (CS08)

I do the same with my other tea blend, Are You Cerise (CS08)

Pour apporter un effet différent et du grain à mon fond je dépose des infusions pures sur mon support encore humide.

To add a different effect and some texture to my background, I apply undiluted infusions to my still-damp surface.

j'adore cet effet feux d'artifice ! 

I love this fireworks effect!

Le résultat final est top ! je craignais que mon support en coton affadisse les teintes mais finalement non les couleurs restent vibrantes.

The end result is brilliant! I was worried that the cotton fabric would make the colours look dull, but actually they’ve stayed vibrant.

Pour terminer et mettre un peu de lumière, j'ai repassé mes impressions pochoir, pate de structure au feutre acrylique blanc et fait quelques éclaboussures blanches. Vous en pensez quoi ? j'espère que cela vous donnera envie d'essayer.

To finish off and add a bit of light, I went over my stencil prints with white acrylic felt-tip pen and added some white splashes. What do you think? I hope this inspires you to give it a go.

 

Arrive l'étape du tamponnage ! ce moment magique où les motifs se dévoilent sur le papier !

J'ai utiliser de l'encre versafine noire sur le papier Smoothy PaperArtsy (SCA4H) et les motifs des planches (EMW001) (EMW003). Le graphisme simple de ces fleurs est top. Je vais les associer et les utiliser de différentes façon. J'ai d'ailleurs pris le parti de les laisser blanches ou alors tamponner sur une feuille travailler à l'encre dorée. Pas de colorisation pour ces tamponnages, vous verrez qu'ils ressortent à merveille sur mes fonds déjà pas mal colorés.

Now it’s time for stamping! That magical moment when the designs appear on the paper!

I used black Versafine ink on PaperArtsy Smoothy Paper (SCA4H) and the designs from the stamp sets (EMW001) and (EMW003). The simple design of these flowers is brilliant. I’m going to combine them and use them in different ways. I’ve actually decided to leave them white or stamp them onto a sheet treated with gold ink. No colouring for these stamps – you’ll see that they stand out beautifully against my already quite colourful backgrounds.

On découpe et détoure tout ça ! c'est tellement beau ! Et voilà une série de die cut prête à être utilisée et à orner les différentes pages de mon mini Junk ! 

Pour faire la déco de mes pages je me suis préparé tout un tas de petites chutes de papiers anciens ou imprimés, des découpes, des embellissements métalliques effet rouille, du fil et tout un tas de babioles que je vais associer entres elles.

Let’s cut and trim all this out! It’s so beautiful! And here’s a set of die-cuts, ready to use and to decorate the different pages of my Junk mini-album! 

To decorate my pages, I’ve gathered a whole bunch of little scraps of vintage or patterned paper, cut-outs, rust-effect metallic embellishments, thread and all sorts of trinkets that I’m going to mix and match.

Exemple d'un embellissement, cette étiquette est attachée à la fermeture de mon Junk. J'ai créé des fleurs en relief, reliées entre elles avec un œillet. La superposition est sympa et toutes les combinaisons, avec les différentes fleurs présentent sur chaque planche, sont possible.

Here’s an example of a decorative touch: this label is attached to the fastening on my Junk. I’ve created raised flowers, linked together with an eyelet. The layered effect looks great, and you can mix and match all the different flowers available on each sheet.

Et voilà l'ensemble terminé ! je vous laisse découvrir mon junk page par page 

And there you have it – it’s finished! I’ll let you explore my junk page by page 

des fleurs, un œillet, un peu de fil, un personnage et le tour est joué ! pas besoin de plus les tampons se suffisent à eux même. Je trouve qu'en les laissant blancs ils ressortent mieux sur mon fond coloré.

Some flowers, a carnation, a bit of thread, a character, and you’re all set! You don’t need anything else – the stamps are all you need. I find that leaving them white makes them stand out better against my coloured background.

quelques embellissements métalliques à l'aspect rouillé, trombone, pince à nourrice, étoile,  complète et parfaitement l'ensemble. 

A few rust-effect metal embellishments – a paper clip, a safety pin and a star – perfectly complete the look.

2025 Year in review: PaperArtsy Products

We are kicking off a look back at 2025 on the PaperArtsy Blog, and we are doing it a bit differently to previous years. Rather than by topic or quarter, we are looking at each designers releases over the entire year, so you are in for some long posts depending on how many releases the designer had in 2025.

We'll start things off with the in-house PaperArtsy Products, the new Eclectica³ Series, plus Hot Picks, Mattints and Printed Tissues. So grab a cuppa and chill out for 5 minutes as we take a look back at some project highlights from this year's PaperArtsy releases, and a bit of a look back at some Hot Picks history from 2010.

Our in house style is generally a dominant vintage vibe, but with the addition of bright colours, these designs can take on a very different feel.

Eclectica³ PaperArtsy Collection: EPA01, EPA02 & EPA03

Stencils: PS447, PS448 & PS449 (Regular)

Mattints: Mojito, Acid & High Viz

Eclectica³ PaperArtsy designs heralded in a new, more modern style of stamps from PaperArtsy, we  wanted to have fresh and crisp designs that would be particularly useful for backgrounds to create layers across all collections without deterring from the focal. As ever flexibility is the goal! Stamps that would work as underlayers in partnership with other stamp collections was part of the concept.

These 3 new Mattints were our fluro release adding some vibrance to the existing colours and making them ideal for layering over or mixing into pre-existing colours for a bit of oomph.

A retro rainbow but also lines for journaling on depending on how you orient this pattern.

Using the arrows and spots from EPA03 plus some of the geometrics in the background provides a nice backdrop for this Kate Crane Mini.

How is this for a simple background? Understated but useful for layering or torn collage layers

Or use those designs to go bold in black, in this Tracy Scott inspired style and colour-way

You can see more samples from the January release here on the PaperArtsy Blog.

The addition of 3 new Mattints early in the year took the colour offering a bit wider to 15 shades, and you will see the swatch stamp links to the Hot Picks release below. We loved the idea of swatching Printed Tissue and Colour in the same hit!

Our bloggers got busy with these new designs and Mattints too.

MiMii made a giant tag with the Mattints layered multiple times to build up colour, see all the details on the blog here.

Autumn had some fun creative time as she shares here with these new designs and some striking colours. A uniball white pen highlights the chevrons and words perfectly.

HOT PICKS

A PaperArtsy in house stamp Collection

Let's just divert for a minute to take a wander down memory lane. 

'Hot Picks' came into existence back in 2010 when we decided to move into a larger stamp size format to suit larger journaling projects and interior décor items. Initially we designed 'stamp and die' sets with some of the images (no other company was doing stamp and dies at that time, dies were exclusively frames or tags and nested scallop or plain borders - not us!).

We created dies to match the flowers from HP1004, plus leaves and other stamp shapes from subsequent sets for book hinges and much more. We were doing a lot of art with Ten Seconds Studio metal sheets at the time, so die cutting an imaged stamped onto a metal-cardstock/ adhesive tape sandwich allowed us to give shape the flowers. That was why we needed dies to match the stamps and hinges and so on....so a whole new concept was born out of our desire to do interesting things with stamped metal! As you can see below, the stamps layered up beautifully, this was from an ArtsyCrafts retreat project in 2010.

Here's another example of the type of Hot Picks projects we were teaching at our ArtsyCrafts events0, deep into the mixed-media world of texture mixing cardstock, metal stamps and paints and glimmer mists - remember those?!

ArtsyCrafts Project with Hot Picks from October 2010

Since those days the Hot Picks collection has expanded into sewing themes as well as sea life, ships, fish and vintage cars...so we cover almost anything - where our muse leads. There is generally a vintage vibe, and designs that will work for a wide range of projects.

Hot Picks Collection: HP2501, HP2502 & HP2503

Stencils: PS456, PS457 & PS458 (Regular size)

So here we are 16 years later, I'm sure these newer designs would not look out of place had we designed them all those years ago. 

Riikka used the March release of stamps and stencils for a vintage journal spread.

Riikka Kovasin Art Journal Spread 

TIP on Ink: When stamping fine, detailed images, look no further than Versafine Clair, a deep beautiful black that is wet long enough to clear or matte clear emboss, is permanent when dry and does not wick when it hits the paper, so stays put beautifully. It also stamps over our Fresco paints well too. We recommend that you use a smooth cardstock to get the best results with detailled imagery like this, such as PaperArtsy Smoothy Card. It is a beautiful stamping surface, but also wonderful for gel printing and fresco paint creativity.

A journal spread by Leandra below, using the March release with texture from the stencil and Grunge Paste in the background. An unusual colourway for her!

Hot Picks launch blog post here

Charlie Chaplin inspired movie set within this release, and Leandra is back in the room in her firey colours of choice, building a lot of stamps together to 'ground' Charlie among his ephemera of this stamp set!

And look at how small bits of a larger stamp and Printed Tissue can create mini focals in each of the boxes from the swatch stamp set.

 

On this sample below, the swatch stamp was deliberately not fully inked, creating new spaces for larger stamps to occupy, plus some of the bold diagonal shapes block off some sections of the framed stamp, bringing a new look. It is so much fun to see how you can use partial bits of stamps in unexpected ways.

Last sample from this release is using one of the stencils over Printed Tissue.

MATTINTS & PRINTED TISSUE

Mattints: Shadow, Bellflower & Foxglove

Printed Tissue: PT11 'Birds'

Layering blank tissue that has been painted both sides with Mattints (these are a matte glaze) renders tissue paper transparent, allowing you to subsequently layer up sheets for a stained glass effect as shown above. 

What Leandra enjoys to do most; play with a mix of paint, cardstock and stamped embellishments to make an interior decor piece. The 'birds' printed tissue is so much fun, you can make them pop by colouring in pale paint from the reverse so that once layered on a background it pops easily as a focal.

Added to a vintage frame, and this Printed Tissue is elevated to something that really is worthy of being on display. Many more samples on the launch blog post here.

Let's take a look back at what our bloggers got up to with this release! Jenny Marples focussed on the Mattints with one of last year's Tissue Papers: Hot Picks Backgrounds (PT01)

She tested the Mattints onto a gel plate, they are Matte and very transparent, so you can build layers and intensity with each print

This post is absolutely jam packed with images, I urge you to head over for a look at how she used tissue, mini stamps and Mattints to great effect.

By April 2025, here is the full range of Mattints to date, 18 transparent tinted Matte glazes.

And to round off this section, Dounia's very clever sample where she used several birds' tails to make one really long tail!

XMAS HOT PICKS + PRINTED TISSUE

Hot Picks Xmas: HPXM10, HPXM11 & HPXM12

Printed Tissue: PT12 'Script'

We just love some Christmas Spirit, and as that time of year is almost upon us for 2025, perhaps this will remind you that we released this series of Christmas stamps back in June, so they should be with your preferred retailer in your corner of the globe! We are smitten with this release, some gorgeous classic Christmas designs.

Leandra got busy with some gel printed vintage papers, the stamps in black speak for themselves, but Mattints are the perfect tool to add touches of colour without too much fuss.

Dounia made these darling tags, don't you just love those mini jewellery tag stamps too!? You can't have too many tags on a tag!

Jenny Marples made a whole series of cards with these stamps, you will find the details her in the blog post, and the eagle eyed among you will spot she also used the brand new 'Scripts' Printed Tissue (PT12).

She explains in depth how to create this style of background and the Mattints are used on top of the Printed tissue for subtle contrast. Onto these cards she adds her focal stamps and other embellishments to create the entire box of cards.

PAPERARTSY PROJECT

by Keren Baker: Inspired By Samuil

Hello, Keren here, with a very small project inspired by a man many miles away called Samuil. We've all heard the phrase 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'?! Well I was foraging around in my local charity shop & found some items that were the start of this project. How does this man fit into the inspiration? I'll tell you more about him as we work through the process.

You can see a few new things, some old, and some leftovers. We can live wastefully sometimes and it was learning about Samuil that made me want to reuse as much as possible. Samuil lives in Yakutia in the Wild Siberian Forest. He lives alone & with very little, only recently getting electricity and doesn't have running water. 

So I wanted to do something simple that echoed the woods of the Forest & included his special Christmas tree.

I needed to prep my tins. I cleaned and sanded them- loving that they've already had two lives judging by the writing on the top, once as some tobacco tins, secondly as bits for drills etc. 

I did use some alternative paint to cover them. I knew it would take several layers, and some of us guard our PaperArtsy Acrylic Chalk paints maybe a little too obsessively. I'm glad I didn't use my paint as it would have used up more than an entire bottle. It took quite a few layers. It was just some furniture paint that I had laying around so was glad to use it up.

The colour scheme was easy, something natural and outdoorsy with a pop of red. I hadn't got much room to fit many of the stamped images but got to painting the beautiful Christmas tree

It's worth using a stamping aid if you want to get concentrated colour and then re-stamp the detail. I could have just left it like this, but went on to over-stamp.

I love that mixing in dark blue will darken the green but still keep it in the same tone as the rest of the colours. You already knew that these paints were just fabulous, didn't you!

I didn't bother painting the trunk as I already knew that this tree was too expansive for my tiny tin. Now to try and create a scene with lots of elements.

Starting to create the background, I just dry brushed over some Smoothy cardstock, a really simple way to get texture.

Cutting out shapes that fitted exactly in the tin was a little more complicated because the tin had been battered out of shape but was still holding fast!

My story with Samuil echoes the tin; he's lived a life of subsidence for 20 years by himself and has seen tragedy in his family which is why he ended up living this way. His resilience and will to survive is quite incredible and moving. With only recently fitted solar panels, he spent many years using candle light and a torch. I wanted to create a starry night sky like his.

Yes, you may laugh. I watered down Heavy Cream and splattered it onto the sky. The result was pretty poor, but nothing that some more Baltic Blue and a little white gel pen couldn't improve upon.

I added lots of tiny blue stars and a little detailing on the scenery, trimming down the tree and saving the bottom branches for later.

I'm not sure which varietals of fungi are available in Siberia, but these were looking far too shiny and white, so I dulled them and added character using Baltic Blue, and London Bus was perfect (as a translucent) to dull the shine and make them a little less perfect.

I wanted my tree to not get lost into the background but also needed a little space to add greenery, snow and the mushrooms so added some foam pads to lift it forward slightly. 

Samuil has plenty of trees to choose from- and he was gifted some lights so he chose one from the forest and carried it back through the frost. The delight that a singular Christmas tree brought him was overwhelming to watch. He brought a touch of magic to his little home.

I used the stamp from HPXM10. They were proportionately the right size and also gave me a base to add the stars sandwiched onto thread, the branches and a pretty bow.

I also used some left over wadding from a quilt and sewed a little part together to help it stand proud and keep everything else from falling out of the tin.

Here's the little tin- you can just about see the lights I've attached around the edges...

And here it is, lit up like the stars on a crystal clear night.

The Oasis greenery worked well, and I was surprised at how good the wadding looks- obviously everything was given a liberal dose of glitter and glitter glue.

My plan initially was to use the tin lid as part of the design and hinge it on, but once I'd added the lights and the title, it never would have fitted, so I now have some lids ready (which would make awesome tags or tree decorations). I wanted to use the car from the HPXM10 set, and do a landscape version, but time rather overtook me.

Warning, these tins are a bit addictive. I intend to go back to the charity shop (as one of the colleagues insisted that no-one would want the tins & just to throw them), to show them what you 'can' make with someone else's leftovers!

The sustainability of Samuil's life (& his struggle) is powerfully challenging. If you want to watch it (I challenge you not to be moved- the Christmas part 5 is here and you find the whole series on YouTube). 

I'll finish, thanking you for being with me today and wishing you all a very Happy Christmas. But I'll leave the very final word to Samuil's series narrator, 

'But he has never stopped believing in Christmas miracles. Every year, he quietly makes his wishes, holding onto hope.'
