Hello Friend Sampler

It has been a pretty mild winter in Michigan, but I think I’m still ready for Spring! This 8″x8″ Sampler reminds me of Spring with the pastel colors, birds, and butterflies. If you have the Hello Friend Stamp Set and the coordinating Designer Series Paper, you can make this sampler. Below are the measurements and a link to the video.

Supply List:
(1) – 8″x8″ Thick White Cardstock (base)
(5) – 2″x2″ Colored Cardstock (Basic Black)
(2) – 2″x4-1/4″ Colored Cardstock (Basic Black)
(5) – 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″ DSP
(2) – 1-7/8″ x 4-1/8″ DSP
Basic White Cardstock for Sentiments
Vellum for butterflies and Sprigs
Silver Foil Scraps for punched butterflies and Sprigs
You will also need punches, embellishments, dimensionals, and ribbon

Below is a video to walk you through creating the 8″x8″ sampler as shown above. Remember, you can pick any designer series paper and coordinating stamp set to make a sampler.

To make the Alignment Border to use while creating the sampler, just take 4 strips of 8″ x 3/4″ cardstock and line each end up to form a square and glue each end. With scraps, curl them around each edge and glue down (this will give you “loops” to put your sampler base in so it doesn’t move around. You can also just lay the frame down over your base 8″x8″ sheet and adjust when adding a new square.

Hope you enjoy this project! Happy crafting! Deb
