A Hometown Christmas Framed Art Sampler

Hi Crafty Friends!
I am really enjoying all the Halloween and Fall projects that I've been working on, but you know I love Christmas projects. If you're making a handmade Christmas, you do need to start working kind of early so that you can have fun getting things done. So, so that you have time to order supplies and get to work, I'm sharing my Christmas Sampler early.


Oh Stampin' Up! you have done such a good job with your Holiday catalog this year. Isn't this piece just lovely? I mean, I love it but I hope you do too. Here are the measurements and then we'll get to the details. And for fun, I even made an assembly time lapse video, scroll down for the video.

Sprig Punch, 3 punched in Mossy Meadow, 1 cut in half, add pearls.

Color the stamp with your Stampin' Write Markers.

I've also decided that I love this project in the ash gray frame from Michael's. 
The frames I use are 9x9 Belmont shadow Box Frames.

  4. This is so lovely! I actually cased it with a few changes as I didn't have the sets and made it with my card class for Christmas. All the ladies loved it. Thank you so much for creating it.

  5. Thank you, thank you, thank you...from the bottom of heart for providing dimensions to your super cute sampler. So many make them but give nothing for people to case from. My feeling is, if you make it and want people to be able to case it, then provide the information needed to do so. You get the gold star!!!!!

    1. Thank you!! I'm glad to do it. Although sometimes you want to share things and not have to go into the details, so I understand why they are not always included. Hope you have a fun time making a sampler.
