Beautiful Spring Sampler Class Coming

A group of my customers has requested making some seasonal samplers this year. So here is the spring one we will be making in early April.

This sampler incorporates over 60 different products in it! WOW! Some of the products are current and others retired, but for this one-of-a-kind masterpiece, it doesn't really matter. (My stamp studio is like a reference library of products for this project!)

It is my original design and took several days of working a bit, then coming back to it until I was happy with the final result.

The sampler always looks better in a frame!

Spring Sampler Home Decor Idea

Here's a fun home decor piece that you can make with your crafty friends. 

This Spring Sampler project was a swap organized by Debbie Henderson from Maine on Facebook. I was in Group F and eight other people besides myself signed up to make 9 identical squares with a spring theme using the colors Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, and Basic White. By the set deadline, we agreed to mail the 8 squares to each person on the list along with keeping one for ourselves.

The Daffodil Delight was 3-1/4" square, the Highland Heather 3" square, and Basic White  2-3/4" square are your building squares. The margin around the edges was 1" so that is why the squares fit tightly on the background paper.

When all the squares were received then you could organize them however you thought best and mount them on a 12" x 12" piece of Designer Series Paper. The photo above is my finished result. I put my sunny square in the middle, with the swapped 8 arranged around mine. I love how it turned out.

So if you wanted to get a group of 8 friends plus yourself together, you could get a Spring Sampler of your own design made in a couple of hours. Each person brings their supplies and makes one square design then swaps them around the table. Pretty fun!

Use my sampler as inspiration for your own! 

Happy first Monday of Spring!
