Every month, a group of demonstrators get together and exchange sampler squares. This month we did harvest, thanksgiving cards and I used the Painted Autumn DSP and Painted Harvest stamp set to create my sample square. And because I made an extra, I decided to make it a card!
This is one of those “everything but the kitchen sink” kind of cards. But for a sampler that you will put into a shadow box framer later, you need something that has a lot of dimension to make it work. The dies cut come from several sets and the leaves are stamped and die cut using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers Thinlits.
Once you cut out all the pieces, just start layering until you are happy with the result! Sometimes, it takes me a few tries and other times it just all comes together. I generally don’t glue down everything until I have a layout I like. Then I make what I call a “prototype” so I have a sample to go by and get the other sampler cards to look as similar as possible.
If you are not doing samplers, I encourage you to give them a try. You can see many examples on Pinterest. They are quick and easy to do. And because you are working on a small surface(the ones our group does are on 3/35″ x 3/35″ base card), you don’t need a lot of supplies. And even better, once you are finished, pop them onto a 12″x12″ paper and into a shadowbox! Now you have a great piece of home decor for the holidays!
