"Laughing" by Corrie

Corrie Jones loves our new border stickers and decided to use them generously on a happy layout -- love the doodled look!

Corrie says, "I created the frame for this photo of my daughter being silly and laughing using mists and different border stickers. I was inspired by the mists by Mahlin Wiggur, and thought the mists and the stickers would worked well together. I love it because the stickers look like they are doodles and designs just drawn on the background and they easier blend with the mists. To make the stickers and mist blend, I applied a thin layer of gesso. I just love the party of look of the stickers and mists on this page!"

Party in a Bag by Tessa

Tessa Buys, one of our brilliant 2011 SRM Stickers Design Team members is treating us today to her version of our new product, Party in a Bag! Enjoy!

Tessa says, "I fussy-cut flowers from patterned paper to make the invitations. On the inside, I added banner-cut strips and a border sticker. For the envelopes, I cut apart a border sticker and layered it with fabric tape in the corner. I added sentiment stickers directly onto the fabric tape."

Tessa used the round baby images in a banner. She simply added them to cardstock and punched them out with a starburst punch. She punched starbursts out of patterned paper and sewed the circles together.

Tessa cut apart one of the border stickers to create cupcake flags and cut apart more border stickers, combined them with fabric tape to close a party favor bag filled with flower seeds.

Tessa also created flowers to top tubes and added a sentiment to the center of each one.

Here's what Tessa had to say about her time on the 2011 SRM Stickers Design Team; "I count being a part of the SRM team in 2011 as one of my greatest blessings of the year. It has been an amazing experience. Susan has been an absolute dream to work for. She is caring, encouraging, and oh-so-thoughtful. Jenyfur has been a magnificent team coordinator and cheerleader. Every member of the design team was kind, supportive and inspiring. Just to be associated with these gals has been a huge boost to my crafty morale and creativity. I am most grateful for the friendships that have grown here. I am also grateful for the amazing product that I was able to work with. SRM cannot be beat in quality or versatility, which makes SRM Stickers my go-to product for just about any crafty endeavor I take on. SRM will forever have a place in my crafty heart :)."

We adore you and your work, Tessa, thank you so much!

Easter Card & Tube by Aimee

Aimee Kidd assembled a holiday tube and card for a special gift at Easter time.

Aimee says, "After seeing the adorable little chick sticker I started going through my patterned papers because I knew I'd find the right combination. I added yellow ribbon, teal twine, and some very pretty Easter SRM stickers and came up with this duo. Decorating the tube was so much fun. I wanted the ribbon tails to be long and curly so I pulled out some spray starch and my curling iron. I felt crazy doing it but I love how it turned out!"

Love how Aimee used our Easter stickers and added a sticker strip directly onto ribbon! Thank you, Aimee!  We're back tomorrow with a fun Party in a Bag feature.

Easter Cards

If you enjoy creating your own Easter greeting cards, you'll love these ideas from our Designers!

Valerie Mangan had this to say about her adorable Easter chick card; The little chick from the Quick Cards - Easter set was the perfect addition to this big flower. The flower, made from a die rescued from a clearance bin, is made with a line of coordinating papers to take out the 'pattern matching' guess work. To give the flower some extra dimension I sewed around the edges of each layer and also added some dimensional adhesive here and there. I stuck the chick sticker down to white cardstock, ran it through the die cutting machine then stitched around that as well."

Shantaie Fowler explains how she created a fun egg-shaped card; "I just adore shaped cards, they often convey a big part of the message all on their own. Pair a shaped card with a fabulous sentiment and you have a winning combination! I used my Cricut to cut the egg shaped card, and embossed the pink layer with a chevron patterned cuttlebug folder. Classic Easter! Easter is my absolute favorite holiday, I just swoon over all the gorgeous spring colors! I really like the way the Easter sticker parades across the egg shaped card to fill in that open space. By trimming the the word "wishes" and adding it to the tag, I have a complete greeting that finishes the card."

And here's Christine Ousley with a step by step tutorial on created this gem! "Here is a quick Easter card that you can make in 5 minutes or less. All you will need is some scrap pieces of patterned paper, some twine, a couple of punches and of course some SRM Stickers."

1. Cut a piece of light pink cardstock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches.

2. Cut a piece of patterned paper for your background 4 x 5 1/4 inches. Adhere these paper together.

3. Cut two pieces of coordinating patterned paper 1 x 3 1/4 inches. Corner round bottom right corner on one piece and top right corner on the other.

4. Cut one piece of coordinating patterned paper 1 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches. This will be placed in the middle as shown.

5. Adhere patterned paper pieces.

6. Wrap twine around card base twice and tie bow.

7. Place SRM Sticker on white cardstock and punch out with a 1 1/4 inch circle punch.

8. Layer on 1 3/8 inch circle punched from light pink cardstock. Then adhere to punched scalloped circle.

Make a Wish

Welcome back! Today's project is a layout using our new border stickers by Valerie Mangan. Valerie explains how she worked with the border stickers to create dimension and added interest on her page;

"When I work on a light background I like to either stitch all the way around the border to frame the page or add some kind of other border. For this one I incorporated the border stickers into a little patterned paper frame, but just at the corners. The stickers form the inside layers. I also worked in a sentiment border across my photo and some zig zags to mimic stitching if a few places. My favorite piece by far is the aqua scalloped border sticker – such a great color and shape to add a little pop. In addition to the borders, I added the #7 and “make a wish” stickers under page pebbles. (I think SRM stickers and page pebbles might be my new favorite combo!)"

We carry 4 border sticker styles that you can take a look at HERE. Valerie used our 'Thanks' collection for this sweet birthday layout.
