NEW PaperArtsy Products: 2018 Xmas {JoFY Collection}

NEW PaperArtsy Products - August 2018
 JoFY Collection {Jo Firth-Young}
Seasonal Stamps

We are all rather partial to a JoFY Christmas release, and boy are you in for a treat! She's found another snowman for 2018, this one may have had one too many! (you'll see) and there's lots of stars, sparkle and celebration! So sit back and enjoy Jo's lovely samples. As ever, they are inspirational with just the right amount of bling. Oh and this is the last of our Christmas releases, so you can relax now! ~ Leandra

Ho ho ho! Jo (www.jofy.co.uk) here with you this evening with my newest products designed for PaperArtsy, along with some ideas of what you can create with them.

SIX stamps sets!! - that is a lot of stamps (!) and hopefully there is something in this festive collection for everyone - there are trees, a snowman, phrases, words and background images - I hope they inspire you to reach for the card stock and glitters!

I've designed this group of stamp sets to work on their own or in conjunction with any other sets you may have - as illustrated on the sample for JOFY68 where I've mixed a word from that plate with a background stamp from JOFY48

... or on one of the final projects (Spreading Sparkle) where I've mixed JOFY68 with an Emma Godfrey stamp (EEG19)... I want the stamps to be as versatile as possible. 

I also designed a few of the stamps so they are not just for Christmas such as the words on JOFY65, the star/spot border on JOFY66 and I'm pretty sure the angel (also on JOFY66) would look perfectly at home among flowers....

  When it comes to Christmas cards I'm a less-is-more crafter - but this of course doesn't rule out a touch (or two) of glitter - it is Christmas & Christmas expects glitter!  

Lets take a look at the stamps and samples.

  Jo's New Stamps

Price: RRP £17.08 +VAT

Size: 5" x 6.5" (13cm x 16.5cm) 

All stamps are trimmed onto cling foam, and are presented in a clear bag with a laminated storage/ index sheet 

  

JOFY65

Christmas Candle

using JOFY65

I think this is one of the most traditional Christmas images of this release - a Christmas candle - it sort of follows on from the bauble filled cloche & bauble laden cake stand that I've released previously - I really like all the little details that can be coloured up however you want.

.

I coloured the image with pencils, after colouring the background with Fresco paints including Metallic and Pearl glaze - subtle sparkle!

Wishing you a .....

(using JOFY65)

I'm really happy with how this stamp works. The boxes on the circles are designed to fit the words that have been provided in the set, so you can create different phrases:

  very + happy + christmas

very + merry + christmas

very + happy + birthday

happy + new + year

Or you can add your own words, or names etc.  I think this design will be useful for men's cards too.

JOFY66

Angelic
Using JOFY66

This angel makes me smile - she's raising her arms and embracing, accepting, whatever is being offered - she looks so calm, happy.  I designed her to be a 'feature' stamp, a big stamp that would be a focal point on an art journal spread or canvas.  I used her on journal spread which you can see at the end of this blog post.

Bling it up!
using JOFY66

I think the border on this stamp set can be used for any celebratory occasion - nothing on it is particularly 'christmassy' and so it can be used for birthdays, congratulations and again for men's cards (they're tricky aren't they!)

JOFY67

Santa's Little Helper

(using JOFY67)

This little character seems to be taking its role as 'santa's little helper' quite seriously - I really wish I'd put the phrase in a speech bubble... I'll save that for another time!

Starry Sentiments

(using JOFY67)

This word block is really versatile (you saw Lauren use it yesterday as part of the Zinski release)... it's a nice flowing background image and is great for filling up a C6 card (10x15cm) - quick and easy is good for christmas cards!  The painted background of this card has been clouded with Pearl Glaze which is a lovely contrast to the words which are stamped in matte Frescos.

JOFY68

Snow!

(using JOFY68 (and JOFY48))

I LOVE these word stamps!!  Some of them are obviously for use at christmas but 'believe' and 'sparkle' could be used at other times in the year - I'm definitely going to use them in art journaling

Snowflakes, Metallic Glaze and glitter - could it be any more festive!!

JOFY69

Doodle Tree
(using JOFY69)

Is it wrong of me to have a favourite stamp?  This may be mine this year... lol

May your baubles be unbroken
(using JOFY69)

Its nice to have phrases that are separate from everything else - this one makes me smile because when we unpack the Christmas decorations don't we all silently hope that all is ok and that nothing is broken or tangled (especially the dreaded fairy lights!).
I stamped on the die-cut baubles with the little images from this plate - don't pass over the little images because they are often the really useful ones!

JOFY70

Too much Christmas spirit!

(using JOFY70)

Every year I design a snowman stamp and this year is no exception...  Move over Frosty the Snowman, meet Mr Tipsy the Snowman... frozen proof that there may be such a thing as too much Christmas spirit!

Christmas is coming!

(using JOFY70)

A nice phrase for a clean-&-simple, less-is-more card - run around the card edges with a brayer & several colours of paint, stamp in the centre and colour the words.

Project One: Oh Christmas Tree!
(using JOFY68 & JOFY69)

Oh the trees!!  I made a forest scene on a chipboard pane, by using 'christmas' from JOFY68 and the trees from JOFY69.  The trees are mounted flat to the chipboard surface and on to 3d foam to give subtle depth, and the little tree in the centre is a 'trimmed' version on the tree on the left... and entire forest could be created by cutting the layers of the these trees.

Project Two: Spreading Sparkle art journal page

(using JOFY68 & JOFY66)

I mentioned earlier in this blog post that I designed the angel to be a feature stamp - and here she is starring in her own art journal page... This is a very sparkly shimmery page (by my standards anyway) - there is sparkle embossing powder, Perfect Pearls (on the star border), glitter glue and metallic glaze! BUT its quite subtle - the journal needs to be tilted to see the glitter and sheen, and I like the way it contrasts with the matte Fresco paints.

I painted her wings with Metallic Glaze because I wanted them to shimmer against the background.

These stamp sets are varied and, I hope, versatile - I can't wait to see what you make with them - please tag me on social media if you do as I love to see what ideas you come up with.

Jo

(PS I hope its not too soon to say this, but while we're in a festive mood - Happy Christmas!!)
