If you're a follower of my blog, you may have noticed that my downline group, DOstamperSTARS have started swapping 2-1/4" squares to create Home Decor Wall Art – which we call Seasonal Samplers. Last month our theme was Easter/Springtime using the FREE Sale-a-Bration Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (free with $50 order through 3/31).
These were my 2 squares (we each swap 2 squares).
Here's my finished "wall art" using 9 squares to complete my sampler. There were plenty of leftover squares to create another piece or to use on cards – like I did here.
Didn't it turn out cute?! I'm lovin' these samplers. I can tell you are lovin' them too, as I receive several questions each time I post one. See below for FAQs.
Happy Springtime (hope it comes soon)!
Enjoy~Dawn O

Seasonal Sampler FAQ's
Q: What size are the squares?
A: We swap a decorated 2" square and then mount them ourselves onto 2-1/4" squares.
Q: How do you get them positioned so nicely?
A: If you look closely, you'll see a white matte that measures 7-1/8" square. This helps a lot to get them positioned just right.
Q: What size frame are you using?
A: This frame is a 10×10 shadowbox frame. I've used other size square frames 9-1/2", 12" – whatever I can find that is a square shaped frame. I remove the glass piece to accomodate the bulk of some of the embellishments and punch art.

One of the cutest ideas ever! Love the result!
Great idea, Dawn! I love what you’ve done!
What a great way to get a lot of “stars” involved in a project you all can enjoy! I like all of them, but I think this spring one is my favorite!!! Thanks for the helpful tips. I am going to try making one of my own.
Wow these are cool Thanks for sharing the ideas with us
Love your seasonal samplers for decor. Any chance we can see all the squares you receive each time!! Soo creative!! TFS
Oh my gosh, these are just soooo adorable.
I am a Stampin Up. Demonstrator in Canada, and wondered if you would mind if I made of few of these little squares for display at my next workshop! Love the cute little bunny!!! 🙂
Be my guest Jennifer!
I absolutely love these. How did you make the bunny ears?
Good question Rosemary!
Jolene made the bunny and here’s what she used: The wing of the Bird Builder punch for the white part of the ear. For the Crisp Cantaloupe inner ear, the Bitty Butterfly punch (cut off the top wings and rounded the edge). Hope that helps.
