Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: PapierStudio

 

Let’s welcome PapierStudio as this week’s Featured Designer!

About Papier Studio


I was born in Rio de Janeiro and now live in São Paulo. I’ve been married to Egon for 46 years, and together we’ve built a life full of love, family, and creativity. After three years apart, my son and his family are finally coming back from Beijing this September, and my heart is racing with happiness—especially because I’ll get to hold my 3-year-old grandson again.


Since childhood, painting has been my passion, and today I express that love through mixed media art. I’ve been a digital designer and art teacher since 2008, when I created a blog full of tips and tricks for digital scrapbooking.

My creative world is always inspired by the little things that spark wonder and the timeless details that carry stories through color, texture, and imagination. From delicate flourishes to whimsical touches, I love blending the nostalgic with the playful to create pieces that feel unique and full of life. Some of my favorite sources of inspiration include:


-Vintage and Art Nouveau design – flowing spirals and swirling curves

-Old and worn papers – torn edges and folded textures recreated digitally

-Boho shapes and mixed media backgrounds

-Artsy patterned papers with whimsical details

-Painted and non-realistic elements that add depth and surprise

-Flowers – both realistic and painterly

-Artsy and whimsical faces that carry emotion and storytelling

-Painted, artsy butterflies and birds that bring movement and freedom

-Scattered bits, mini dots, and stars that complete the magic


For me, art is not just about technique—it’s about weaving together nostalgia, whimsy, and imagination into something that feels both timeless and alive


To finish off we would love to share some of PapierStudio’s favorite layouts:

Layout from Carmen Miranda

Layout from Celebrate Life

Layout from Midnight Symphony

Layout from Vanilla Sweetness

Layout from Open Doors

This week's free kit is Nature’s Artistry by PapierStudio. This kit marks a time of transition and change, as the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, creating a breath-taking display of nature’s artistry. Autumn also brings cooler temperatures, crisp air, and the anticipation of cozy sweaters, warm drinks and a season of harvest. Normally priced at $7.99, the kit includes 20 papers and 69 embellishments.


To make sure that you collect your free kit please follow these steps:

  1. Add $20 (must total $20 before sales tax) of any of our talented designers kits to your cart, but DO NOT add this kit to your cart! Once entered, the promo code will add it to the cart for you!

  2. Enter the promo code November10PSSL (code is case sensitive) in the promo code field on the checkout page.
