PaperArtsy Stencil 131 (PS131)

PaperArtsy Stencil 132 (PS132)

Quick information about the above stencil which I think/hope is going to be really versatile. I wanted to design a kind of 'mix and match' stencil. Four variations (at least!) can be made using the two parts. The spots (top) and swirls (bottom) look really nice used on their own, but when stenciled in a different order they look quite different as illustrated in the photos below.

The patterns are quite different but they are really easy to match up to create that slightly off-set look. Choose your first stencil & apply colour. Remove the stencil, dry the paint. Lay the second stencil on top of the created pattern, match up the small spots and add your second colour.

More details and samples over on the PaperArtsy blog tonight and all products are available from your local PaperArtsy stockist.

I hope you like them as much as I do!

Creativation 2019

I've been a bit quiet lately because behind the scenes I've been working on secret 'stuff' (you many have seen sneekpeaks of that on the PA blog) and getting ready to go to Creativation - the American Craft Trade show... I'm really looking forward to it.

PaperArtsy has a booth at the show and there will several of the PA designers attending and offering classes - its going to be a really exciting time.

For more details keep an eye on social media and/or the Creativation website (www.creativationshow.org). Its a trade only event so make sure you let your local craft show about it so they can attend and find out about all the new products that will be showcased at the event.
