NEW PaperArtsy Products: Jo Firth-Young {March 2026}


A note from Leandra ...
Jo has over-delivered for this release! We were not expecting minis, but she was in the groove so we encouraged her to scratch that design itch and keep on designing! You know what that means! Samples galore! I absolutely love the retro vibe within these designs, a mix of bold and delicate patterns are sure to please. The stencils can also help to create bold or delicate patterns, just depends on which way you want to take them and your colour selection.


If you would like to see this release revealed, and the numerous samples Jo has created, then head on over to our Facebook Community PaperArtsy People at 20:30 Paris time when Jo will be LIVE in our Facebook Group, 'PaperArtsy People'. You can also find the replay pinned to the featured posts at the top of the PaperArtsy People Facebook group.
 
These stamps are ONLY 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 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. I am so happy to be bringing you this release. 

I adore these new stamps - the mix of flowers and the retro vibe makes me very happy - and I hope you like them too! The 3 large sets are filled with flowers - some more abstract than others. The minis are mainly motifs for backgrounds and patterns. The 3 large stencils are 2 background stencils and a clever vase stencil that I'm sure you'll find really useful.




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.

Jo Firth-Young - A5 stamp set 145 {JoFY145}

This stamp set is inspired by my 2025 '@the100dayproject' where my theme was '#100daysofpaperplants'. I cut, altered, or designed 100 different flowers made out of paper & I was inspired to turn them into stamps so we could all use them. These designs are also a nod to the very first set of flower stamps I designed that were also 'collaged' together. 
The main difference is that many of the flower stamps in this released don't have stems. I realised they are much more versatile without stems- easier to use & place within a composition.

JOFY145 & JOFY146 stamp sets have vases. I drew/created many vases during my 100 day project! Flowers need vases! These ones are simple in design which means you can adapt them easily to suit your project.

The vases can also be adapted - made shorter or narrower (or both!). The photo below shows the vase from JOFY146 but the same alterations will work on JOFY145's vase.

Bring me Flowers
 

To create vases of flowers I like to stamp out and colour several {many!} flowers and leaves then sit and play around with the composition. Stamp on painted pages, patterned papers, book pages - whichever sparks your imagination.





These flowers also make interesting tags & sentiment boxes!


On this card I shortened the vase and included a leaf stem from JOFY146 - you can see again how easily the sets work with each other.

Jo Firth-Young - A5 stamp set 146 {JoFY146}

This is a mixed bag of flower styles - realistic leaves, a flower stem and some abstract 'blobby' flowers (inspired by my 'stones' on JOFY135).

Doodle flowers
 

The 'blobby' flowers in this stamp set are perfect for doodling into and adding a touch of bling!


They'll also be perfect stamped onto patterned or printed papers and layered up as shown in the sample below.


Still life vases


This pair of tags show how the vase can be cut to create 3 variations, same but different.


I decorated the vase using the border from JM103, you could also use the designs on JM99.


The stencils used on these tags are PS512 & PS514 - more about those later!

Jo Firth-Young - A5 stamp set 147 {JoFY147}

Oh my goodness this stamp set makes me happy! lol The flowers are so pretty and juicy! All the elements combine to make gorgeous projects!

How does your garden grow?
 


The tall flower stem of this flower has been created from the leaf stem on the stamp set - don't be afraid to cut up your stamped images to create something else!


On this tag I repeatedly stamped the leaf stem in the background in a pale green ink - makes a lovely base for the coloured motif - its great to have the same image in the background and as a focal image. You could use the leaf stem on JM103 in a similar way.


This small tag has a little bit of everything from this stamp set! I like using up all the 'leftovers' - nothing gets wasted!

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 512 {PS512}

This stencil is perfect for backgrounds and ideal for use on a gel plate because it doesn't have a hard/solid edge (in the photos below the stencil is shown in its carrier).
 



I really like to draw round the shapes and fill the space with doodles!

PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 513 {PS513}

Another great background stencil (we can never have too many of those can we! lol)


Retro-tastic

Oh I do love a bit (a lot!) of 'mid-century' design! The shapes and patterns, I'm a big fan!


I created a 'masterboard' panel using both PS512 & PS513, layering them with the circle stencil from PS207 to create patterned circles. I cut it up to create 3 projects using stamps from other sets in this release.
 


PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 514 {PS514}

I've designed many flowers and what they (we) need now is vases! This stencil creates 3 vases and 8 patterns - you can mix and match them to your hearts content!
 

 
The photos below show the different variations of vases. I used Distress Oxides but any paints, texture pastes can be used.




Its nice to go back to the original use of stencils - draw around the shape on {printed} paper, cut it out, add detail.



JoFY Mini Stamps
Price: RRP €4.90 +VAT 
Size: generally credit card (ish) size images
All stamps are individually trimmed onto cling foam


JOFY Mini 97 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM97)

JM97 creates lovely borders, or use those same elements to stamp an all over random pattern.

 




JOFY Mini 98 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM98)


Two retro shapes, they create repeat patterns (including borders)....
 


... & the shapes make interesting flowers too...


JOFY Mini 99 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM99)

This is a useful mini!! Great for borders, edges of cards and all over patterns.



These stamps are great for adding interest to a page border as shown on the card above using stamps from JOFY145.

JOFY Mini 100 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM100)

Flowers or page borders - you decide! :o)
 



The blocks create a nice chunky page border!

JOFY Mini 101 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM101)





JOFY Mini 102 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM102)

These motifs work really well with JM104 & JM98
 


JOFY Mini 103 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM103)





JOFY Mini 104 by Jo Firth-Young   (code: JM104)

Another great set of stamps for patterns and for adding touches of interest to a background.
 




Motifs stamped to create interest on a background.

Spring has definitely arrived here in the UK and I think these stamps will be ideal for all your spring (& summer) themed projects - I can't wait to see what you create with them.  Don't forget to tag us (PA & myself) on social media as we love to see what you make!!

Thanks as always to the PaperArtsy team for all that they do (they do it so well don't they!), and to you for being here.

Happy crafting

Jo
