Simple samplers on perforated paper used to be staples at antique shops when I was small. I remember seeing lots of variegated red letters with solid green accents on them. "Home Sweet Home" was very popular, as was "Welcome" and "Sleep in the Arms of Jesus." Now there is a new company selling very high quality perforated paper for various small items like ornaments, bookmarks, name place settings, etc.

Sage Stitchworks used to sell perforated paper motto sampler kits but the company has gone out of business. Luckily they still maintain a blog with examples. These are as close to what I remember seeing as a young adult forty years ago as I can find.
