$5 Samplers, Oh My!
By now, I think everyone is aware that I offer a yearly freebie to my customers as a thank you and way to sample my product, see how it works, and fall in love with it! This year’s collection is called Tempest and it’s a fun and moody collection for scrapping all your bad days!
But did you know that I’ve been creating these collections since 2020 and they’re all still available in the store for just $5!?
They include 15 papers in both 12x12 and TN sizes, 6 journal cards, 2 sheets of stickers and a mini kit’s worth of digital embellishments - more than enough to create something beautiful!
They’re a great way to try out my work and figure out how to print and cut or digital scrap with very low investment!
Below, the team has created new layouts with each of the three previous samplers to inspire you and you can find all three here in the store!
2020 - Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day was born out of the desire to play with the concept art of the grocery bags that have the repeating “have a nice day phrase” similar to the “hooray” card on the image below. Honestly, that was the inspiration for this whole collection that I just ran with! I also wanted to experiment with a color palette that was a bit different than the usual and it came out to be one of my favorite color palettes ever!

2021 - Here Comes The Sun
When I designed Here Comes The Sun in March of 2021, we were entering year two of the pandemic, but with vaccines becoming available and things starting to open up again, so I was feeling hopeful and the lyrics to the classic Beatles song kept floating through my mind like a butterfly, so I ran with it! Both the song concept AND the butterflies!

2022 - Beautiful Dreamer
When it was time to design the 2022 freebie Beautiful Dreamer, I was mostly inspired by this soft and beautiful color palette that felt super “dreamy” to me, so the name and concept for the collection was born. It’s aspirational and feminine, like the majority of my designs, and a great look at how inspiring I strive for my designs to be!
