Below are pages from The Stampers' Sampler, April/May 2005.
You may remember Teresa’s first submission to The Stampers’ Sampler®. It was shown in our Aug/Sep 2004 issue — Write Away. A beautiful correspondence kit in tranquil colors of pink and brown, we immediately called her asking for more! Graciously, Teresa responded with an enticing bounty of artwork.
Are you looking for new ways to dress up stamped cards and projects? How about an embellishment idea sure to make you smile at its possibilities and simplicity? Conceived by publisher, Kellene Giloff, she wondered what would happen when you tried using a buttonhole punch on an epoxy pebble? Kellene wanted custom buttons and with some help from her staff artists we got to work.
Come celebrate the cards of life's occasions on pages 40-48. Be it birthday, anniversary, new home, new baby, wedding shower, retirement, mom, dad, or grad - our readers have lots of ideas to share.
Who says sewing kits can't be works of art? Our readers assembled sensational packets filled with the must-haves for life away from home on pages 49-57.
