STAMPtember® Feature: Darkrooom Door AND PaperArtsy!!
Welcome, readers! Today you get a double BANG for your buck as we are featuring not one, but TWO great stamping companies! Have you shopped Darkroom Door and PaperArtsy? Now is a great time to try them! First up, let’s talk a bit more about Darkroom Door.
Darkroom Door was founded in 2007 by professional photographer Rachel Greig and graphic designer Stewart Yule. While traveling throughout Europe in their blue Kombi van Stewart and Rachel brainstormed an idea that would combine their love of art, design and photography into a range of art rubber stamps and paper products for the stamping and paper craft industry. From humble beginnings in Rachel’s photography studio, Darkroom Door moved it’s headquarters in 2009 to a larger studio and warehouse where they design, manufacture and distribute Darkroom Door products within Australia and export to more than 18 countries worldwide.
We want everyone to pick a favorite Darkroom Door item and try it, so in the spirit of that, we are offering a limited time 20% discount off all Darkroom Door products when you use code DDR2S. Please know that this code is not valid with other codes, nor can it be used for previous purchases.
I reached out to Darkroom Door contributing artist Anneke De Clerck to make a card showcasing this fabulous brand in celebration of this feature and boy oh, boy did she deliver! Be sure to check out Anneke’s blog for lots of inspiration and a complete step out of this project!!

Next up, we’d love to also put a spotlight on PaperArtsy, a fantastic stamping company that also offers fun mediums for crafting!
Established late 2003, we manufacture here in the UK, on site our own amazing rubber stamps. We work with superb local companies to bring to you our super smooth 12×12 scrapbook papers, the best and most versatile Fresco Chalk Acrylic Paint (since 2011), and we also sell a wide variety of art and craft supplies related to all kinds of Paper Art crafting. 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, chalk paints, dies, chipboard, papers and more.
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.

Gorgeous work that beautifully illustrates PaperArtsy’s great style and Alison’s great talent. Lx
J’adore le tag avec les papillons! Bravo à vous deux.
That first card looks very pretty! Especially the flower at front!
I love Darkroom Door, its great to see such a successful Australian stamp manufacturer. PaperArtsy chalk paint is so fabulous.
I like both darkroom door and paperartsy; their subjects are very individual and authentic! Though Anneke de Clerck did a great job with that lovely card, I had wished she had shown us another subject, because both companies have so much more outstanding subject to offer than “just” flowers. ;)
kind regards, Irmgard
