Julie's Jems Spring Blog Hop



Good Morning! Welcome to the first Julie's Jems Blog Hop. We are celebrating the launch of the NEW Spring / Summer seasonal catalogue by giving YOU lots of inspiration! So without further ado, I give you my butterfly gift card:


A close up of some of the details for you - aren't the layered up butterflies just perfect?! The little butterfly in the centre is from the new catalogue and coordinates with 2 sets (at the moment!), Papillion Potpourri and my favourite Sale-A-Bration (SAB) set, Bloomin' Marvellous!


I have used the NEW Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack to make the large butterflies, mounting them all onto the NEW Natural 7/16" (1.1 cm) Trim Ribbon. I wanted to show you how these ribbons are not just for vintage style projects.


Finally the little motif is from Pretty Petites (another SAB set) which has a matching punch - which you can also earn for FREE during SAB! See the full list of further materials at the bottom of this post.

Hopefully some of you will have clicked over on to me from Elizabeth's blog: Stampinandcreatin

and so the next place you need to visit is the lovely Angela Dawes blog: Sparklycards

Happy Crafting, and come back soon!

Becky
