My project is a Halloween themed Home Decor Sampler.

I used several card stocks from CutCardStock.

Basis Black 80lb 12 x 12 Card Stock

Basis White 80lb 12 x 12 CardStock

Textured Flame Orange Discount Card Stock

Basis Gold 80lb Card Stock

Classic Crest Natural White Card Stock

I gathered some die cuts cut with Circuit and printed some

 precolored digital stamps from Beccy's Place and 

found some free printable clipart from Clipart Panda.

The die cuts were cut from the Black and Orange and Gold card stocks.

I used the Classic Crest to print the digital stamps and clip art.

I backed the die cuts with the Gold card stock

The base of my sampler was created by layering the Basis White

onto a piece of Basis Balck. 

Cut these to fit your frame.

My frame measures approximately 11 1/2 inches square.

Arrange your pieces in what is a pleasing pattern to you and adhere.

Insert into frame and you have a piece of home decor to display for Halloween.

I hope I've given you some inspiration to try creating your own Sampler.

I made a Valentines card for my project.

Card Stocks from CutCardStock used:

BASIS WHITE CARDSTOCK

NATURAL TWINE KRAFT CARD STOCK

CANVAS TEXTURED HABANERO RED CARD STOCK

ASTROBRIGHT PULSAR PINK CARDSTOCK

I started by making my 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch card base 

out of  NATURAL TWINE KRAFT CARD STOCK.

Icut a 5 1/4 inch square piece of the

BASIS WHITE CARDSTOCK

and matted with a slightly large piece of the

CANVAS TEXTURED HABANERO RED CARD STOCK

and adhered to the leafy base.

Next came the die cutting.

I cut 2 of the entwined hearts( 1 from kraft and 1 from pink), 3 hearts of different sizes,

3 flourishes and 1 sentiment.

I started adding layers of the die cuts to the card.

I cut apart the pink heart die cut and layered

onto the kraft heart.

I added hearts and flourishes and some pearls in the center.

I ended up die cutting some mini flowers and leaves to add.

Some mini red pearls were added to complete.

I hope I've provided a little inspiration and that you'll

join us by adding your own project over on the 

CutCardStock Creative Blog!
