Stamperia "Forest" Double-sided 10-page Paper Pad (30.5x30.5cm,12x12in)

Stamperia paper pads and collections are always a favourite among world-wide crafters and collagers due to their beautiful design elements, the fantastic paper, and the excellent printing quality. This Forest collection (designed by Cristina Radovan) is utterly gorgeous. It has a fairy-tale or fable flair  with gorgeous colours.The many elements included are perfect for so many different kinds of craft or collage projects, for art spreads or just to make your own greeting cards. Therefore, the pad is really versatile. 

 

The sentiments in this pad are multi-lingual, something I love, but that might disappoint people if you are just speak English.

 

The advantage of the double-sided pads, besides being cheaper, is that you have more elements to use, as each side of the sheet has different printing elements. The downside is that you might love both sides but will have to sacrifice one or the other when you use one.

 

 I bought this pad very discounted during Prime Day week, but all Stamperia pads are always pricey.

Stamperia 'Klimt" Double-Sided Paper Pad (8X8in)

Stamperia International paper pads, this included, are gorgeous. The imagery, the paper thickness and the printing quality are always paramount. The Klimt collection (designed by Sara Alcobendas) is beautiful and really evokes Klimt's work and spirit. 

 

This pad contains abstracts patterns, figures, and written decorative sentiments all of which are versatile pieces  that can be easily incorporated into many different craft and collage projects; they're also perfect for art journal spreads. Each sheet has different printing elements on each side.

 

This is the second item I buy from this collection and I've noticed that the printing tonality is different from the previous pad I bought. This one is way darker and more brownish, not the golden vibe that the other had, which is what is shown in the product page. For a second I thought it might not be legit, but the quality of the paper and detailed printing is Stamperia's.  

 

The advantage of the double-sided pads (beyond being cheaper than then single sided) is that you have more elements to use. The downside is that you might love both sides of a sheet but when you use one of htem you lose something at the back or front that you might love. 

 

 I bought this pad very discounted during one of the Prime Day promotions, but Stamperia pads are always pricey.

These are artistic good quality paper napkins, They're quite large, have two layers and are true to the product photos. Perfect for fancy picnics, high tea or to use them when you have visitors. I use them mostly for decoupage, as a cluster image (by selecting one of the printed areas) or as background for some of my mix media collages. Pricey, but I'm very much in love with these. The back layer is easy to peal off. I specially like the blue and white bird item, but all of the ones I have purchased are fabulous and mini artistic pieces on their own.

CrafTreat French Script and Floral Decoupage Paper for Crafts A4 , 8 sheets

I am very pleased with this set of decoupage paper. Good quality paper, printing quality and good value for money as decoupage paper is usually very expensive and you have 8 A4 sheets in this pack. The images are all vintage, but there are two clearly different styles, one if floral, and the other is textual. I like all the images, but the two sheets with small flowers are too busy. The paper reacts well with gel matte medium and Mod Podge. Overall a great set
