Taste of Fall - The Sampler

Good morning bloggers! Today I want to share with you another project using the September kit from The Sampler kit club.  This kit is so full of yummy goodies the projects keep coming.  This time some photos of dh and I at a wine tasting at one of our local wineries.  (I know the photo looks crooked....I was having camera issues).

 

I love all the textures in this kit. The super cute felts, the lovely laces, and of course the washi tape.  I couldn't resist using lots of stitching and a sketch from Page Maps.

The October Kit is just as gorgeous (probably my favorite yet) and is available in the store right now.  Grab yours before it's gone.  And don't forget about the sketch and card challenges going on now at The Sampler.  Lots of goodies to be won...no purchase necessary.

Hugs.

Tuesdays with The Sampler.....

and a tutorial.

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a great day!  I know I am.  I am totally in love with this month's kit from The Sampler.  When I first got my kit I was so happy to see it contained two sheets of the Creative Imaginations polka dot felt.  I knew I wanted to make lots of yummy flowers.

First, here is my project...

Sorry about the color/lighting...but it has been raining for a while and I just can't seem to get good photos.

Here is how I made the fun flower.

You will need, a fabric glue, a chipboard circle, your felt, a flower center (I used the flair that came in the kit), and four circles of the same size.  I used a die to cut my circles, but I am sure you could use scissors as well.

You can see here I have cut four circles of the same size and folded each in half.  Don't worry if they don't stay folded...they will.

 For the first circle, fold in half and place glue only on one quarter.

  Glue to your chipboard circle with the fold in the middle.

 Place glue on the second half circle and place perpendicular to the first, again with the fold in the middle.

Then following the same technique place the third circle

The fourth circle is a little tricky.  You will need to place half of it on top of one quarter of the third circle and the other half under the first circle. (this is a little like how you may fold and seal a box if you don't have tape.)

Finally add your center.

And here is the final flower on my layout.  So fun and such great dimension.  I hope you have fun with your felt.  And be sure and pop over to The Sampler blog for more great ideas, the sketch and card challenges and your chance to win an extra bonus prize!

Hugs.

Tuesdays and Teens

Hi everyone, I wanted to stop in today and share another project I made with the March kit from the Sampler.  I have been loving all the chevron patterns I have been seeing in the blogsphere and wanted to try my hand.  Let me tell you....it was not easy.

You know what was easy?  Creating beautiful flowers with the felt that was in the kit.   Just a quick trip through my big shot and done!

I accented the page with splatters of glimmer mist and the fun jewels from the kit.

There is still time to enter this month's challenges over on the Sampler blog.  And even though the full reveal hasn't happened, you can check out the April kit here.  I know you are going to love it!  The colors are just gorgeous.

Hugs.

Tuesdays with The Sampler

Hi everyone, Happy Tuesday.  I wanted to share with you another project I made with the March Sampler kit.   I have begun working with the April kit...which is just gorgeous, but don't have anything quite ready to share yet.

I splattered a bit of the Mr. Hueys on my background and once again used my felt to create some flowers.

Don't forget, there is still time to enter the Card and Sketch challenges over on The Sampler blog.

Hugs.
