Sampler from March 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit

I haven't made very many samplers, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to make one from the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit! The 12 x 12 piece of Designer Series Paper is a retired piece from a collection whose name I can't even remember, but I had to have the raindrops on that sheet. Most of the pieces are from the kit, but I added a couple of my own touches, like the fussy cut umbrella from Well Dressed, and the retired Large Letter Dies spelling the word "Bloom."  Since there were several sets of flowers in my sampler, I didn't want "Let Love Grow," I had to have "Let Love BLOOM!"

Stamps: all from Paper Pumpkin kit, except umbrella from Well Dressed

Ink: Balmy Blue, Gray Granite, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Gray

Paper: The floral behind "Bloom" is also a retired paper, but since I was going for a floral theme, I couldn't resist it either. The letters are So Saffron and Basic Gray. The base squares are Basic Gray and Gray Granite.

Die: retired Large Letter Dies

Tools: Big Shot

Adhesives: Snail, Dimensionals, and a non SU product similar to white glue.

I hope this sampler inspires you to give one a try. 

They are pretty easy once you get the math figured out. 

Have a great day!
