Announcement and a GIVEAWAY!

ok folks, i'd like to make an announcement.....

this has been a long time coming, but as you may know i design paper goods {anything from wedding invitations, to personalized paper banners, cupcake toppers for 1st birthday parties, and even rubber stamps} however i don't really focus on promoting those things in my current etsy shop - Joie de Vie Jewelry.

so... i decided it's time, it's time for me to announce that Joie de Vie paperie now has it's very own home!
and to celebrate the new shop i am giving away one of my favorite things right now... you have the opportunity to win your very own JDV custom monogram rubber stamp!  which also happens to be the first item i've listed in the new JDVpaperie shop.

and here are some photos for your viewing pleasure .  .  .  .  .

you can use your new stamp on gift tags, business cards, or  . . . 

or stamp it in platinum on a nice navy envelope and why not coordinate some thank you note cards .  .  .

you can even have your married monogram created and use it to DIY your upcoming wedding with you and your soon to be hubby's married monogram... why not stamp your favor tags or bags?

while this stamp may be small at 2 x 2 inches, it sure is mighty, and will be a welcome addition to anyone's stationery collection... not to mention it'll look pretty darn cute sitting on your desk!
