Welcome!  I’m so excited to introduce the new and improved StampingJulie.com website.  I’ve been working on this in the background for a few weeks and it’s exciting to see this coming together finally.  I look forward to being able to provide you with the best stamping and papercrafting information with this new format.  (Don’t want to miss a thing?  Sign up in the box on the right to receive updates. →→→ )

And here’s the simple, but elegant card I promised: The background of this card was created with the very versatile set Delicate Doilies.  The saying and the fun, little butterfly are from the Sale-a-bration set Elementary Elegance.  This set is only available until March 31st and is FREE with a $50 product purchase!

I placed the ribbon through the card and ‘around’ the words by placing small rectagular cuts in the white cardstock using an x-acto knife.   Of course, you could always stamp your saying on a separate piece and use a cool punch like the curly label punch  to step it up.

And here’s a close up of that fun butterfly to which I quickly added a little sparkle with the new Dazzling Details, punched it out with the 1/2″ circle punch and elevated it with a dimensional. Card recipe:
