PaperArtsy: NEW PaperArtsy Merchandise: JoFY {Might 2024}

This launch continues on superbly from Jo’s final one in February, permitting for beautiful continuity and cross over. We encourage designers to consider how their new stamps can improve those who have come earlier than, and I am certain you’ll agree, Jo’s designs do that completely, whether or not it’s a vase of flowers with some new foliage, or accents and border strips which have infinite makes use of. We all know you’re keen on a mini, and this collection gives the whole lot from washi strips to phrases and implausible background choices, however these giant stamps and stencils … oh my! I am swooning.

As Leandra talked about in her introduction these new designs really feel like a continuation of my final launch… extra carved designs, backgrounds and clusters… and as at all times, numerous little bits and items so as to add element to your initiatives.

I made 2 tag books for this product launch – its my manner of preserving all concepts collectively. One small guide and a taller, extra complicated one – I consider them as ‘sampler’ books for the discharge of the brand new stamps.  In them I created pages to showcase how the stamps will work with new and former releases of stamps and stencils, working with gel prints and or course the JOFY tissue paper. You may see pages of the larger guide all through this weblog submit.

These became actually helpful books to have on the desk when creating – I encourage you to make one thing comparable your self – it is like having a visible pocket book.

Let get began.

Earlier than I dive into the stamps/stencils individually I’ll start with the mission talked about above that makes use of a number of of the units – a small guide of tags. 

I might began taking part in with the brand new stamps on gel printed 6×4 index playing cards and I ended up with fairly just a few. I die reduce them into tags and sure them collectively to make a easy tag guide. I stamped and stencilled extra particulars onto the assorted pages and created a little bit guide of concepts and inspiration.

These are the again (left) and entrance (proper) covers of the guide. It is fascinating to see how the linear flower cluster from JOFY134 seems to be on completely different substrates… the correct hand web page (entrance has a base of Gold fresco which is a giant distinction to the kraft base of the again cowl).

On these pages the flowers have been stamped in a pink Archival ink, and layered with sentiments and small flower motifs – the extra pink color (flower) is ‘The Pink’ Mattint.
On the left hand web page the define stones have been clear embossed – they’re nearly invisible till they replicate the sunshine – a pleasant refined impact.

On the left web page – numerous random stamping of the quantity block (JOFY134), additionally the spotty motif and larger opaque spots (stencil PS329).  The seedheads (JOFY135) look nice with the gold detailing and guide textual content paper-piecing.

Stamping of the one stems – shading across the stamped picture offers dimension and makes it pop. The spotty border is nice for including pops of color (and stickles for a contact of sparkle!).  A number of of the leaves have been mounted on 3d foam so as to add dimension. The background of those pages have been created with a subtractive approach on the gel plate.

Jo Firth-Younger – A5 stamp set 134 {JoFY134}

There isn’t any such factor as too many flowers!!

 
Its good to have separate flowers however typically its good to stamp numerous flowers abruptly, and that is why I created this linear cluster.  It may be stamped to cowl a web page and create a background, or stamped throughout a panel to create a one-layer card design.  The flowers may also be reduce and layered up with ease. I added a few little flower motifs good to fill in any areas or to layer on prime of the cluster.

A stunning card might be created by stamping the picture throughout a panel and colouring with the fabulous Mattints.

 

The flowers additionally look nice stamped across the outer edges of a card – on the pattern beneath I’ve colored the sides with Misery Oxide. You might obtain the same look with brayered Fresco End paint or Mattints utilized in a round motion from a spherical foam pad.

 

The photograph beneath is a variety from the tag sampler guide. The left hand web page reveals how the flowers might be separated from the group and used with smaller motifs to make a special grouping (right here layered up with carved designs from JOFY132). The best hand web page present the linear cluster stamped vertically a number of instances to run the size of the tag.

I like a tag – particularly little ones! They’re smart way of utilizing up scraps of photographs and including element to pages. Right here I used the quantity stamp and a scrap of mini JM78.

The leaves on JOFY134 will look nice behind the flower group or layered up on their very own. (the phrase on the tag is from a brand new Kate Crane stamp set KC002)

Jo Firth-Younger – A5 stamp set 135 {JoFY135}

In my final launch I featured hand carved stamp designs and I am persevering with these designs on this launch too – this time I’ve designed background motifs that I consider as ‘stones’. 
The flower stems are impressed by flowers in my backyard and the dried stems I’ve saved when their flowering season is completed.

The ‘stones’ are an amazing base for the flowers (partitions, paving) and the open designs are nice for colouring in and/or areas for doodles. Stamping background layers in smooth shades of gray permits the focal photographs to nonetheless be the celebs of the present in these tall playing cards.

Within the card beneath the ‘stones’ have been colored utilizing Misery watercolour pencils – love the pops of color on these – think about this as a border round a web page!! (and/or painted in metallic paints – Fresco paints with Metallic or Pearl Glaze! sure please!)

This one other web page from the tag sampler guide. A vase of flowers set towards my stencil PS309 with phrases taken from a bit of my tissue paper sheet.

When this seedhead is painted in purple tones it resembles a Lavender head, but when painted in pure colors it will appear to be a wheat or seed stem (pretty for autumnal playing cards or journal pages).

The ‘poppy’ head seems to be nice teamed up with the wispy stem. The poppy head has been painted with the fabulous Mattints in Jam & The Pink.

One other web page from the tag sampler guide – the zig-zag block makes an amazing border for a web page – particularly when embossed in gold!

This is among the first initiatives I made with this stamp set – I like how the seed head seems to be with the addition of the paper-pieced guide web page ‘seeds’. The identical could possibly be performed with pattered papers.

PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 434 {PS434}

Oh my goodness I am so proud of this stencil!!

This primary photograph reveals the stencil colored with Misery Oxides…. 

The tags beneath have been printed utilizing a gel plate and Fresco End paints – I like how the Gold Fresco seems to be when used with a gel plate.  The ghost prints are significantly good (and really onerous to {photograph}, lol)

PaperArtsy Stencil by JoFY 435 {PS435}

It is a pretty dainty stencil… good whenever you need to add ‘one thing’ to a web page however not an excessive amount of.

The highest tag is the stencil (constructive) print utilizing a gel plate, the underside tag is the ‘damaging’/clear up print – simply as good particularly when a white gel pen is used to stipulate the design.
