About Stamperia Furry Friends 2
Furry Friends 2 is a collection from Stamperia, a European papercraft brand known for exclusive, stylish designs. It follows the original Furry Friends range with its own artwork, so crafters who enjoyed the first collection have fresh designs to work with.
The range covers the stages of a project. Scrapbooking pads provide the backgrounds, pre-assembled journals give you cardstock, stickers and cut-outs in one bound package, a stamp set adds detail, and stencils bring texture to your backgrounds. Each product sits within the same collection, so they are designed to coordinate.

Project Inspiration
Scrapbook Layouts and Memory Keeping
Use the 12×12 pads as full-page backgrounds and mats, and add photographs of your own pets or special occasions. The single-faced pad gives 22 different designs to choose from, while the double-sided pad gives you two coordinated sides per sheet.
Card Making
Cut the 8×8 or 12×12 sheets into card bases, layers and toppers. Add stamped images from the stamp set, and use stencilled backgrounds for a handmade finish.
Art Journaling and Mixed Media
The A4 Junk Journal combines 220gsm cardstock, adhesive sticker pages and cut-outs, so you can start straight away. The A5 Focus Points journal pairs cardstock backgrounds with die-cut pages for ready-made focal points.
Textured Backgrounds
Use the Graffiti, Cool Street Bricks and Ink Splatters stencils with paste, ink or paint to build layered urban-style backgrounds, then add stamps and papers on top.
Pet Keepsakes and Gifts
Make cards, small albums and journal pages for the pet lovers in your life, using photographs and the collection's coordinated papers.
Tips & Techniques
Layering Papers
Use the double-sided backgrounds as the base and the single-faced pad for focal layers. Flip each double-sided sheet to find the best pairing before you cut.
Using the Junk Journals
Work directly in the journal, or take the pages apart and use them as a supply for cards and layouts. The A4 includes adhesive sticker pages, and the A5 Focus Points includes die-cut pages, so choose the one that suits your style.
Stencilling
Apply paste, ink or paint through the stencil with a palette knife, blending tool or stencil brush. Wash the stencil straight after each use, before the colour dries, to keep it clear and long-lasting.
Stamping
Mount the modular stamps on a Stamperia or similar acrylic block. Use the clear block to line up each image, and clean the stamps after use.
Mixed Media on Paper
The 190gsm and 220gsm papers take light inks, stamping and collage well. For heavier wet media, test a small area first.
