Hi, I’m Emily—the face behind Paperbyems 👋

What started as a love for vintage paper, textures, and collage has slowly grown into something much bigger. The name Paperbyems came from my obsession with ephemera and antique stamps — all those beautiful, forgotten scraps of the past — and my passion for turning them into something new through handmade art.

Since then, I’ve found my voice (and a little confidence!) and now share more than just my art. You’ll find me in front of the camera, taking you along to my favourite antique shops and fairs, chatting about creative projects, and sharing all things vintage and craft.

I’m still working out exactly what Paper by Ems will become — but this site is where I’m gathering all the threads together. You’ll find: – My artwork for sale, including my Stamped in Time series
– A few handpicked antique pieces
– Recommendations for fairs and hidden gem shops
– Creative ideas, projects, and behind-the-scenes moments -You can also contact me, to source that piece you’ve been dream of but just not found yet

I hope you explore, discover something unexpected, and maybe get inspired along the way. This space is a mix of everything I love — and a glimpse into where I’m heading next.

Lots of love,
Ems xxx
