Fall Sampler

 

Continuing on with the sampler mania my customers and I have been experiencing, here's the next one in our series - a fall sampler!  There were so many gorgeous samplers produced this past weekend at my house - and I tried to bribe a couple of people into selling their samplers to me because I liked theirs better than mine, but it was to no avail!  This time around, I didn't want all of the usual "bling" that we typically put on our samplers out of respect for Thanksgiving - just wanted it to be simple, but elegant!  Hope you like it!


Paper:  Very Vanilla - 8 X 8; scored at 2-7/8", 3", 3-1/8"; 5-3/4", 5-7/8", and 6"; Cajun Craze - 4-7/8 X 4-7/8; Gold Foil - 4-3/4 X 4-3/4; Very Vanilla - 4-1/2 X 4-1/2; Crumb Cake strips and Very Vanilla strips for the squares.  Each square was embossed at 5/8", 3/4", and 7/8"

Special Instructions:  Each square was gilded with gold embossing powder around the edges.  When mounting the middle pieces of the sampler onto the 8 X 8 Vanilla piece, if you lined up the embossed lines on the squares with the first row of embossed lines on the 8 X 8 piece, the top lines would match up, too!  Really cool!
