look what we've got: tissue!!!

have you seen our tissue and all the fabulous projects it can be used on?

take a look at what we've played with in the gypsy workshop...

tired of an old bracelet? have one sitting around you never wear?

 why not cover it with tissue? 

 we love how the new keys tissue looks covering our pumpkin! what a halloween delight.

 do you have any worn out dresser knobs? we covered ours with tissue and are quite tickled with the result!

 one of our gypsies can't get enough tissue - we even covered her desk shelf with it!

 how fabulous does the new frames tissue look around the light switch? 

tip: we used glue dots to keep it on, can't have the screws messing up our pretty right?

for Christmas? or any other time of the year - try making a tree out of tissue paper!

how lovely would it be to mist spray the tissue and create beautiful holiday decor.

look what we got: global collection

Have you seen our new global collection?  

It's the latest in BRAND NEW products to arrive in our warehouse and is ready to ship now!

Maps are popping up everywhere~ decor, fashion, decoupage and all over our favorite craft inspiration sites.  We're even seeing large scale maps framed and sold as wall decor! 

(check out the latest Restoration Hardware catalog)

We've long been inspired by old maps and charts.  They represent a sense of adventure and exploration of places we've been or long to visit.  Some tell stories of places that have changed with time.

Our inspiration for global was drawn from our own collection of maps and charts.   We reconstructed parts of each to create this line of papers. 

Many of the papers are centered around places of meaning for us including the birthplace of our founders.

You'll find that most of these papers have a warm, vintage palette of colors.  

We also think the Global collection coordinates beautifully with our CAMDEN collection and have been playing with combinations from both paper lines on our projects.

Have you seen the fun Globe paperchain?  

It's featured in our last post as a DIY project!

The papers come in 12x12, 8x8 and 6x6 sizes.  You'll LOVE seeing these maps in the mini 6x6... so cute!

A FABULOUS chipboard alphabet covered with a map overlay! 

And some pretty art tags.  We can't wait to use these on gifts and in the Artist Printers Tray.  Maybe even a mini tag book?

And we've saved our FAVORITE for last: the new Global papertape.  It is so GOOD~ we can't wait to start using it on everything.  

(we'll have to wait just a bit longer~ it's the only global collection element not shipping now~ but will be here soon!)

look what we got: off the wall

Our NEW collection has arrived and is shipping now!

Off the Wall

Did you read about the urban art inspiration behind our designs?  

Our last post was dedicated to urban art and graffiti stenciling~ click here to read if you haven't already.

Look closely at the Off the Wall collection papers and you'll see layers and layers of different elements.  Some designs have textures created from images of walls from around the world combined with vintage graphics and even clippings from previous 7gypsies papers!

You'll also notice the silhouettes on every paper~ our take on the graffiti stencil art images that inspired this collection!  

Each silhouettes represent themes that are meaningful in our lives and can be interpreted in many ways. The child over the faded clock speaks to the childhood and passing of time, birds on a wire more whimsical and quirky layered over the Times Weekly, the globe and plane are a nod to travel and exploration, the hands reaching out in adulation at a rock concert...

The paper designs come in 12x12, 8x8 and 6x6 sizes.  

The smaller versions are perfect for cards, ATC art and mini books.

We love this mini village that gypsy artist Ann Mabee created using the new 8x8 Off the Wall papers.

These new chipboard alphas & numbers coordinate with Off the Wall papers.  They are a classic newsprint and look great with just about every 7gypsies paper!  

Check out the 7G in the bottom left corner for better detail.

The Off the Wall art tags are a funky new shape and you'll love the 2x3 size.  

hint:  they look fantastic in the artist printers tray, mini library drawer, or bound together with a premium binding ring as a mini tag book.

The new papertape has got us drooling...  

The full color printing is unique and hard to find on tapes.  We also love the graph grids and stripes~ these tapes are going everywhere with us!  

Can you say new must have at all times in our paper tape stash?

It's Camden! 

Our newest collection inspired by our journey to Camden and it's bustling marketplaces. 

Located in NW London, we quickly found our way to the old lumberyard that is now home to one of the largest marketplaces we've been to and you know how much a gypsy LOVES a good market!  

The Camden collection celebrates the art of collecting and even incorporates a few of our vintage finds from a lifetime of exploring bookshops, flea markets, and every other nook we can possible wander into in search of good things.

These so-good-down-to-the-last-detail papers are fast becoming our new favorites and are available in 12x12 sheets or in 8x8 and 6x6 variety packs.  Just click on each image below for details and enjoy the view!
