A Stamp & Ink Designs Facebook Group Sampler Swap!
I love the swaps that I host on my group page on Facebook. Everyone gets so excited when I host a group swap. I think I had nine groups of nine so that’s a lot of sampler squares! The first three photos below show how I created nine identical squares for the swap:
Once my squares were all created, I mailed them out individually to eight people and kept one for myself. What happens after that? I start receiving sampler squares in the mail from each person in my group and then I assemble my Easter Sampler. It’s exciting to receive happy mail!
I always glue my squares to a 12″ x 12″ artist canvas. This time I added an 11″ x 11″ piece of designer paper from the Hand-Penned Designer Paper pack as a background, glued my squares in place and added the Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the canvas.

Debbie do you frame the canvas or use as it. This is a beautiful idea! And the finished project is lovely.
I am in Canada but come down to California, might try to get in one when I am down here in the winter !!,
Hi Eileen, because the canvas is 1/2″ thick, I use as is and usually sit them on a shelf. You could glue twine or ribbon to the back if you want to hang them up!
Hi Debbie,
The swap squares turned out all so cute! I will have to join up next time.

Thanks Leslie, I hope you do join us!
Every time you do a sampler I say to myself…”I’m going to do one of those!”…they are always so pretty…and nice to do something other than cards…thanks for sharing…Prayers and love for a good spring and Easter.
They are so much fun Beverly!
