PaperArtsy About Us

Our story
Established late 2003, we manufacture from our workshop in France our own amazing rubber stamps. We work with a dozen stamp designers, each who brings something unique to our existing in-house Vintage collections. We partner with wonderful local companies to bring to you our super smooth 12x12 and A4 mixed media card stock. And, of course, we are so proud of our UK made, versatile Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paint (since 2011). In addition to the items we design in house, we work with several independent artists to bring their designs to market in the form of stamps, stencils and bespoke boxed paint sets.

90% of our work is making stamps, bottling paint and selling those and other PaperArtsy branded items to craft and art stores around the world. We have exported our brand since 2004. We do not have a physical store; our address is our manufacturing workshop.

Buying from us online
We have 2 websites; retail (visible) and wholesale (password accessible only).
Please note: our retail site lists all product prices without VAT, so if you are in the EU 20% sales tax will be added at the checkout.
If you wish to know freight costs, please add items to your basket, tell the cart your address, and it will calculate the cost accurately based on the weight of the items in your basket.
We accept all major credit/ debit cards including Amex, you can do BACS (bank transfer) payments or you can phone us to pay.
If you have seen items in our social media feeds that are not online, please telephone, it is possible we could have them in stock, but not online yet.

Becoming a PaperArtsy Stockist
If you wish to be a PaperArtsy stockist, you must meet 3 criteria:
1. Be VAT/ GST (sales tax) registered within your territory.
2. Teach classes on a regular basis in store, online etc.
3. Have a physical and/ or online store(ideally both).
In addition to this we will take into account how close physically you might be to an existing store.

Education with our products is so important to us. We do not supply for bulk sale on TV shopping channels, for ebay or similar, or to large distribution networks. We hand pick our independent stockists and we are extremely selective about who we agree to supply. We want our stockists to have a semi-exclusive line of supply, and become known as PaperArtsy specialist in your area.

All stockists are welcome to use ideas seen on our blog, YouTube channel, online pictures etc to assist with the sales of our products in your store or online. As a courtesy to the artist, please give credit to the originator of any creation you use or adapt in class or online.

Our product development, quality and integrity
Over more than 10 years we have worked our socks off, and put our heart and soul into bringing you the best products we possibly can. The PaperArtsy brand represents innovation, top quality, cutting edge creativity, unique ideas and fabulous 'enabler' education. We are passionate about what we make, who we partner with and what we teach. We won't scrimp on quality, we pay more to bring you the absolute best we can.

We hand pick our suppliers. The local printer we partner with is outstanding, our paint chemists have decades of experience and innovation behind them, our artists and designers are truly unique. This is a creative industry we work in, we are trendsetters, not followers. We pride ourselves on our ability to source, create, develop and work with unseen, new and innovative people and supplies. People who know our brand know this to be true. We are in a creative industry, and PaperArtsy is long known and recognised every year for bringing numerous new products, unique ideas, and cutting edge concepts to the craft market.

We appreciate our customers and stockists world wide! Thank you for your support, now and in the future. It's a pleasure to bring so many new concepts, products and ideas to you, the wider PaperArtsy family who love and promote our products as much as we do.
