My name is Julia Guainiere and I run Simply Stamps. I started the business in 1997. At that time I was a teacher. My daughter had just been born and I wanted to be able to work from home. For a time I did some home tutoring. I had a selection of used rubber stamps which I no longer used so I decided to advertise them for sale in Crafts Beautiful. I got such a good response to the advert that I began to buy stamps in from various companies and advertise them by sending out a monthly catalogue featuring all the stamps for sale that month. Thirteen years later I still run the 'Simply Stamps Friends Club' and have a database of customers, some of whom date back to the beginning. Obviously the trend now is to buy on-line which when I started did not exist. So I started www.stampersupermarket.co.uk.

Once again the very talented girls on the Design Team have worked their special magic and come up with gorgeous cards for your inspiration
