Hi, everyone! It’s Mindy and so excited to be back on the SCT Magazine blog to share some inspiration with you using the April SCT Sampler! I’ll admit, this is my first time using the SCT Sampler and my first impression is… WOW! I normally don’t use patterned paper on my cards but I absolutely fell in love with the Pebbles Inc. and Photoplay Paper patterns in this month’s SCT Sampler.
The floral designs are gorgeous and those gnomes make me smile from ear to ear.
I challenged myself to only use what I had in the SCT Sampler, but you can definitely use any additional products that you have on hand which would really extend the number of cards you could make!
I’m kicking it off with these gnomes. For my first card, I fussy cut out the gnome from one of the papers so I could pop him up with foam squares to add a little dimension.
Included in the SCT Sampler is a sheet of sentiment sticker labels. I adhered them to white cardstock and trimmed out so there was a little more stability to them. I used them a lot throughout my cards. Seriously how cute is this gnome?
The patterned papers in the SCT Sampler are also double-sided, giving you lots of options to choose from.
My next card couldn’t get any easier. I just trimmed down pattern paper and adhered to a card front!
Still madly in love with the gnome paper from Photoplay Paper, I used this sheet for my whole background! Once again, I used the sentiment stickers for my card.
Also included in the SCT Sampler were bits of ephemera, which are great for using as focal points on your card. I used one of the pieces on a white card front for a very clean and simple look.
My last card to share uses some of the gorgeous floral patterns in the Sampler from Pebbles! I couldn’t bring myself to cut the paper a lot, so I just trimmed it down to use as a background. I added a gold puffy word sticker to the front to finish it off.
Look at the dimension and shine!
Hopefully, this has inspired you to check out the SCT Sampler. They are really a great value with a boatload of products included! While I stuck to just using the SCT Sampler, you could extend the possibilities by adding products you have in your stash for an endless amount of creativity and fun!

Really cute! Easy, simple, and adorable!
These cards are adorable and beautiful!!!
I love these cards. Thanks for the inspiration
Cute! I have a scrapbook page with these gnomes, and I love seeing them in cards!!!
I love these cards, wish I had them to send to friends. Thanks so much for the inspiration and ideas!
Love the gnomes! I didn’t think they would appeal to me but the more I see cards made with them the more I love them. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us!
What a great batch of awesome cards!
That thankful card is just gorgeous – I can see why you didn’t want to cut the floral paper down, it’s beautiful !
So cute and a great way to use that patterned paper!
Your cards are adorable and inspired me to actually use my SCT Sampler. I have a tendency to save the beautiful papers. ❤️
Love these cards!
I liked your cards so much I had to try it out. My sentiments were a little different in my set but I did follow your ideas. I made 7 cards using just the sampler. Still a little product left to use in scrapbooking. Thanks for the push to use my goodies.
Colorful and simple, great job.
Love them! This is one of my favorite paper packs. Thanks for sharing. ????????????
Bonjour

I am obsessed with the SCT Sampler. As a scrapbooker/card maker who hasn’t done much in the last 6 years or so…. this little kit was the PERFECT purchase to get some current products in my hands monthly without breaking the bank!! It is soooo well put together!! These cards are soooo sweet! Love the Gnomes and patterns this month!
Beautiful cards!
Mindy, your gnome cards are adorable and your cards from the Peebles collection are pretty. Thank you for all the inspiration.
