The Christmas Sampler

This is the Christmas Sampler everyone made at the Christmas in July workshop last week.  This Sampler was designed by Ann Gordon and with a little help from me we put one together for each of us and then made the kits for the workshop.  I think it is adorable.  Some non- Stampin' Up products were used but most of it is Stampin' Up product.  The Crown we doubled it and put a small piece of dimensional behind it to keep it from going flat.  The trees and stars next to it are non- SU and so is the leaves and berries in the bottom right hand corner.  Ann wanted to personalize the sampler so letters were bought and painted with Cherry Cobbler marker.  As you can see we used the Mosaic punch and stamp set, the pennant punch Boho Blossom and leaves from the bird punch.  Pine cones are from an SU retired set and the scallop circle punch was used on two of the squares.  Card stock used was Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Silver Glimmer and a little of the Chocolate Chip and Daffodil Delight  was used.  I hope the details are right on the supplies but the most wonderful thing is that you can use most anything you have in your craft collection. Ann's niece, Jenise Bagley,  sent her a Valentine Sampler in February and this is the idea she came up with from that gift.   The frame came from the Dollar Tree.  Thanks Ann and Jenise!  We loved it!

Happy Stamping,
