Good morning! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend, whether you were enjoying the big game or getting in some good crafting!
Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to watch my Live from last Thursday. You can catch the replay here. I shared how to create this inspirational paper crafting sampler using the Sending Support stamp set and the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper (both FREE items during Saleabration!).
Samplers are a great paper crafting project because they allow you to showcase several different patterns from a stack of Designer Series Paper, and they also make a great gift! This sampler can be used in an 8” x 8” frame, or you can mount it on an additional piece of Designer Series Paper to fit it in a 9” x 9” or 12” x 12” frame.
I especially love using Vellum on my samplers (and cards) to add texture and shapes without adding distracting colors or covering up that Designer Series Paper. We actually have several Vellum options right now – the Vellum Basics leaf pattern is what I used for the top left panel, and for the bottom right panel I embossed a piece of regular Vellum Cardstock using a new (SNEAK PEEK ALERT!) embossing folder that will be available on March 1: the Basics 3D Embossing Folders are a set of three folders that you’ll have to have!
The Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper was a great addition to the bottom left panel, as it added a lot of shine, a little complementary color, and some flair. And finally, I brought in the 5/8” Rose Gold and White Ribbon for the bow in the top right panel – it’s a wide ribbon, so tying it in a bow is too bulky for cards. It was just right for this project!
