NEW PaperArtsy Products: Jo Firth-Young {July 2025}


A note from Leandra:
Jo's Christmas releases always bring a smile and some Christmas Cheer! Yes we are doing a mid-year Christmas here, but we know you are all in Santa's good books and perhaps this is that one year where we all are ready for Santa well in advance!
 
Jo will be along to share with you LIVE her new products and ideas over in our Facebook Group, 'PaperArtsy People' shortly after this post publishes, and ... don't forget .... these stamps are available EXCLUSIVELY from our approved stockists. Please check the list at the foot of this post to find a retailer online or geographically near you, it makes sense to order within your country where possible. Our retailers also endeavour to join the designer's live to share their direct shopping links - this makes it super easy for you to find a store with product in stock immediately.

Hi everyone. Jo here with you for another classic JoFY Christmas release... My very first stamp release for PaperArtsy was Christmas themed and 10+ years later I'm happy to bring you 3 more festive stamp sets and coordinating stencils.... 

Before we delve into the new can I quickly take you back to the old, to the 1980s when I made an appearance in the local paper....


.... that's me surrounded by tinsel - maybe my love of christmas decorating & crafting started then!!

OK, back to present day - let me introduce you to Christmas 2025. These images are going to be perfect for card making and other christmas crafts (ornaments etc). I've looked back at previous releases & added new motifs they will work perfectly with (eg. the NOEL from JOFY128 is great for pairing with '25' on JOFY142). There are bold motifs and teeny tiny greetings and tags - something for projects of all sizes.


Red Rubber Stamps (A5 set)
Price: RRP €23.00 +VAT    
Size:5" x 6" (13 x16.5cm)
All stamps are individually trimmed onto cling foam, with a laminated storage/index sheet.

The motifs on this set can be mixed-&-matched with each other or used to add details to the designs from other sets.  The little tags & present/bow could easily be used on birthday cards as there is nothing 'christmassy' on them. 
The bow motif is a direct match to the bow on the gift, the star matches the star on the tree - this makes it easy to stamp out the images ready to add for extra dimension/detail
Oh Christmas tree!
 


Country Christmas

I love how the bow looks on the tree! Teamed with black gingham paper it has a lovely modern 'country' look.




Seasonal Signage

I've designed the word blocks so they can be used in variety of ways - use all of them together or just one. Arrange them vertically, horizontally or randomly.


The word blocks can also be used to create a background - perfect for an oversized die-cut such as these holly leaves or maybe a lovely big snowflake or star.


Baubles

The tower of baubles is a fun stamp - it can be used how I designed it or cut apart and used in different ways (I like stamps to be versatile - lets find lots of ways to used them!!)... below are 3 tags with different combinations of the baubles.




Jo Firth-Young - A5 stamp set 143 {JoFY143}

The idea for the definitions on this stamp set originated from conversations in my JoFY Jamboree Facebook group - now we'll always remember what the 'arms/spikes' of snowflakes are called!

Snowmiss, not snowman!


This year's snowman (snowmiss!) makes me smile - I imagined that if a young girly-girl was given the job of decorating the snowman how might it look? What would she choose?.... deely boppers in place of a hat, wands for arms & a bobble scarf!


Its always interesting to see how different the same design can look when given different colour schemes....



Jo Firth-Young - A5 stamp set 144 {JoFY144}

What's not to love about this stamp set!! The wafty tree, a great sentiment, a spotty border and a lovely Father Christmas.

Ho Ho Ho

This Father Christmas makes me smile. Is he snoozing? Is he taking a cheeky nap before setting off on Christmas Eve? or is he taking a well earned rest towards the end of his busy night of deliveries? You decide.
 




Seasonal sampler

This grid is a 'sampler' of the details from the stamps of this release.
left to right, top to bottom: star (JOFY144), baubles (JOFY142), sentiments (JOFY144), tree (JOFY144), Santa (JOFY144), snowflakes (JOFY143).


These images were stamped direct on the panel but you could create a similar design by cutting up surplus stamped images.



Stay warm!

Same stamps, 2 ways.  The design on the left has been stamped and embossed in white and gold, the design on the right is stamped in black onto a gel printed background.








PaperArtsy Stencils {Regular}
Price: RRP €5.64 + VAT
Regular Size: 6.5" x 7" (16 x 18cm) 
Robust 250 micron mylar designed to offer longevity, deep texture and easy clean up

PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 477 {PS477}

This stencil isn't just for christmas - great for celebration cards and fun, lively art journal pages.
 



The stencil creates a lovely background on this tag



PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 478 {PS478}


This is a lovely dainty stencil another which is not just for christmas - as with the previous stencil it can be used in many ways.
 



The stencil looks great on this tag behind these hanging baubles....
 


PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 479 {PS479}

ssshhh don't tell the others but I think this is my favourite stencil of this release! Its sooo useful - you can use it complete (repeating it on a background) or use the individual words on cards and tags... the snowflake can be repeated to create a background pattern... lots of options!




Christmas card

This card teams the stencil's snowflake and words with the stamps from JOFY143.



I get such lovely feedback about my Christmas stamps, thank you, I really appreciate it! I love designing them. I hope these new designs have woken up your christmas spirit and inspired you to think about all the things you can create with them - please share and tag us on social media - we love to see what you make!
