Just a quick post to let you know a few things! Firstly: the gorgeous Elisabeth Bell for Susana’s Custom Art and Card Design stamps have now arrived and are in stock at Quixotic Paperie, ready to wing their way to new homes. All pre-orders will be sent out on Tuesday (after the Bank Holiday), so [...]
This week’s sketch from Sketch Saturday is another fabulous one, and perfect for showcasing another of the gorgeous Belles & Whistles designs. Today’s rather pink and girly card features the adorable Belle with Teddy image. Her hair was particularly fun to colour, and I just love the little boots on her teddy bear! Belle has of [...]
As soon as I saw Carole’s wonderful sketch for this week’s Friday Sketchers challenge, I knew exactly which stamp I wanted to use – Lemonade Anyone? designed by Elisabeth Bell for the new Belles & Whistles range. So far, this image is my personal favourite, and it is a joy to colour. Isn’t she gorgeous? [...]
The new releases from Paper Makeup Stamps have now arrived at Quixotic Paperie, and I simply couldn’t resist playing with them straight away. For my card, I’ve used the adorable Shelby Fairy, and a sketch from Mojo Monday. Isn’t she cute? Coloured with Copics and accented with Shimmerz Blingz – “Pixie Dust”. Full list of [...]
I’ve been meaning to play with the gorgeous Amy R Stamps Butterfly set from C.C. Designs for weeks. This week’s Sketch Saturday challenge seemed like the perfect opportunity. The sketch is perfect for presenting a wording stamp as a focal point, something I haven’t done for ages. It made quite a nice change from my usual [...]
I can’t quite believe that it’s Wednesday already. Where does the time disappear to? Today is the 27th Copic Colour Challenge, and we have a great colour combo for you today. The challenge this week is sponsored by Kay from Toodles & Binks, who is giving away two Toodles & Binks stamps of the winner’s [...]
Today I’m sharing with you my very first Christmas card for 2009. It definitely feels a little strange to be making Christmas cards this early, even though the weather recently has been more like Autumn than Summer. The new My Mind’s Eye Colourful Christmas papers were just too tempting, I had to play with them! I followed [...]
How adorable is this image from C.C. Designs – Itzy Inkies School Doggy? So much fun to colour in too. Obviously this image is ideal for back to school and teacher gifts, or for scrapbooking those special school memories. That said, he’s generally adorable, and I can see the apple being easily replaced with all [...]
I have decided to open up a call for one additional member to add to the existing Quixotic Paperie Design Team, to create projects using stamps and products from the Quixotic Paperie store. The successful applicant will be expected to show any samples created on their blog and to generally help promote Quixotic Paperie. The initial term will [...]

We have: Colourful Christmas 12×12 Paper & Acc. Pack (coordinating brads and ribbons also available). Merry Days of Christmas 12×12 Paper and Acc. Pack Ooh La [...]
This week’s Copic Colour Challenge is sponsored by the fabulous Katie Cotton of Paper Makeup Stamps. Katie is giving away some of the fantastic new stamps from the Paper Makeup range to one lucky winner! This week’s colours are: Remember, you can use one of the colours, all of them, or if you don’t have [...]
My main love, aside from crafting, is reading. Since an early age I’ve pretty much always had my head stuck in a book. So of course, whenever I see a rubber stamp with a book-related theme, I’m thrilled. No surprise then, that I fell in love with this adorable bookish little School Wormy from C.C. Designs. Of [...]
The sun finally decided to reappear down here in Dorset today. I wonder how long that will last! In light of that (hah!), today’s card seems rather appropriate. Whimsy Frog sitting on his lilypad brings to mind lovely, lazy summer days. I’ve actually had this image coloured and cut out for a while. When Denise [...]
I’m thrilled to say that our delivery of C.C. Designs stamps arrived a little earlier than expected, and so the new August release stamps are now in stock, ready to find new homes. I also have a selection of other C.C Designs stamps including their fantastic Sugarplums Halloween and Christmas sets. We have also received some [...]
I have a new favourite. Steve Hammond’s Monster designs from Paper Makeup Stamps (available in the UK from Quixotic Paperie). They are so much fun to colour, and they totally crack me up! Argus with Teddy is my favourite of the monsters so far, and more are on the way. I think they are perfect [...]
The gorgeous Tina Wenke stamps from Stampavie have now arrived at Quixotic Paperie! Such a lovely collection of cute animal stamps, I can’t wait to see what everyone does with these. My absolute favourite from the Cute Critters Collection has to be the ever so sweet Mouse Carrying Cake. Isn’t he adorable? I wish I [...]

A bit of news from Quixotic Paperie today, before I show you my card for the day! It has been a busy week! We have now received restocks of the popular My Mind’s Eye Bloom & Grow and Wild Asparagus papers, together with more coordinating items from those product ranges – yummy buttons, felt borders, [...]
I’m off to the dentist again today – boo hoo! But before I go, some news to make the day a little sweeter! The brand new and rather gorgeous C.C. Designs stamps are winging their way to Quixotic Paperie. You are able to pre-order these now from the website. We’re expecting them to arrive around [...]
I’ve wanted to have this card finished for days now, so I could share another of the fantastic images from Mo’s Digital Pencil with you. Mo really saved my bacon with this one, as I was totally stumped for a male birthday card I needed for this weekend. The Engineer is perfect. The image has been [...]
