Baby Booties Packaging by Lorena & WINNERS!

Hello, SRM friends! Lorena here. As a crafter, even though my main love is paper crafting, I also like try my hand with other "disciplines" now and then. One of them is knitting. My grandmother taught me how to knit, but for years I only knew how to do it in a straight line (hundreds of scarves, anyone?) and it was only recently that I learned how to knit other things, like baby booties. So once you have adorable baby booties, you need a lovely packaging to go with them, right?  Enter SRM goodies here and you're good to go.

The medium SRM Clear Purse is the perfect size to pack a pair of newborn booties. I had a lot of fun looking for coordinating stickers to decorate it in my SRM stash! I started with a label from Labels by the Dozen/Everyday Pastels. Then, I added a sentiment sticker from We've got your Border/Baby Girl.

I also die cut a little peep and adhered it to the label. However, if you don't have a die like this, the shape is simple enough to freehand cut it from cardstock. Or you could also use this Quick Cards Easter stickers that has an adorable little chick on it. Or stamp and fussy cut an image from the Jane's Doodles clear stamp sets SRM is carrying now! There are perfect images for doing this in the Springtime, Garden Friends or Baby Jungle sets.

For the top and bottom of the purse I went with We've got your Border/Baby Boy and We've got your Border/Baby Girl. Simply perfect! And of course, the packaging isn't finished until we add a twine double bow, adhered with a glue dot.

I hope you liked this little baby project! Thanks for visiting!

Watercolored Spring Mini Cards by Stacey

Hello there, SRM Stickers friends!

Stacey here today's with a post dedicated to all things SPRING!

I created a quick trio of mini spring-themed cards that are all decked out in watercolor!

The Jane's Doodles Clear Stamp/Garden Friends has the cutest little animal images and sweet sentiments to create mini greeting cards in a snap!

To create these cuties, I simply stamped each animal image on watercolor paper with Versamark ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, and painted on some diluted distress inks.  After drying, I added a simple sentiment tag and wee little bows tied from The Twinery's Solid Peapod, Solid Denim and Solid Pink Sorbet Twine Spools.

I stacked the mini set of spring-themed cards up and tucked them inside of a Kraft Bag - 4x6 Embossed Chevron...ready for gift giving!

Thanks so much for stopping by the SRM Blog today!

Easter Celebration by Jane

Here's a special Saturday Blog post featuring Jane Beljo, the creator of the new Jane's Doodles stamps that SRM is now offering in our line. 

Love this card!  Jane used the Boris Bunny stamp.  It's perfect for Easter or Spring but really adorable for all year long!

Jane teamed her stamps with SRM's Clear Stickers.  

 "Easter Celebration" and the little Easter eggs are both stickers!  They come from this Easter Express Yourself collection. 

 SRM Stickers and Jane's Doodles stamps.  What a perfect combination!

We love the addition of Jane's Doodles Stamps to our product line and we love having Jane as part of our design team.  You can check out all the designs HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Diamond in the Rough by Cathy H.

Hi there!  Cathy H here with you today to share some projects created with 17 Turtles cut files and SRM!  The perfect combination!

I used A Diamond in the Rough file on all three of my projects!  Loving the diamond shapes cut using metallic gold card stock.  On my first card, I used some teal water color paint, a bit of washi tape, and vellum.  The perfect sentiment sticker from SRM was from Thinking of You Sentiment set and then the perfect finishing touch with a bit of Sticker Stitches and Caribbean Twine.

For my second card, I used the A Diamond in the Rough file again but added the Shine Bright file!  So much fun.  Again, a bit of teal water color paint, washi tape, gold metallic card stock and fabulous sentiment sticker from SRM Thinking of You Sentiment Sticker Set!

And lastly, a layout created with both files and just using the Shine from the Shine Bright file.  A teal water color background with lots of diamonds stitched across the page.  A bit of washi tape, and SRM We've Got Your Border/Thank You green scalloped border across the top and bottom.  A few layers and a darling photo of my grand daughter enhanced with SRM Stickers

 Hello/We've Got Your Sticker.  I love the look of the SRM Stickers layered over the photo...so simple but a great look!  Then the finishing touch, a bit of Caribbean Twine.

Floral Bouquet Cards by Michele

Hey there! Michele here with a few cards I made with some digital cuts from 17 Turtles and SRM!  They are a match made in heaven I tell ya!  I used Floral Bouquet for all 3 cards.  This is such a fun cut, and one I will definitely be using quite a bit!

My first flower was cut using water color paper and given a water color wash.  I added glossy accents and sprinkled with with clear German glass glitter.  I added a sentiment to pink vellum from the Wishing You Well collection. 

My second card was also water colored, but this time in bold reds and purples.  I added glossy accents to both the flowers and leaves. The leaves were given a dose of the German glass glitter.  I added a sentiment from SRM's Thinking of You collection.  I also added a SRM 4" white doily behind the image. 

My last card is my favorite.  (Am I allowed to have a favorite? LOL!) The flower was cut in white and given a coat of glossy accents.  I added clear sequins to the center of the flower and popped up the outer edges using foam tape.  The background was water colored, a few sequins, some ribbon, and a sentiment also from SRM's Thinking of You collection was all that was needed to finish off the card.

Thanks so much for popping by!  Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to WIN a 17turtles gift certificate.  Or how about using a special discount code for SRM fans to use on purchases of 17 Turtles Cut Files.  Here's the code:

I ❤ Coffee and Tea by Shannon

SRM Stickers and 17 Turtles have been sharing some fantastic inspiration with you dear readers, and today is my turn. 

Shannon here, sharing a set I created using the "I Love Coffee & Tea" Set! This set is fabulous, you can create pretty much anything with it! In this post I'm going to show you lots of possibilities using just this one set from 17turtles.  I had so much fun creating lots of different cards and tags using this one set combining them with SRM products.  I especially loved welding two objects together in my Silhouette.  

So here's what I created….

Tags with SRM stickers, punched pieces and twine! 

Cards using SRM Stickers, Borders, Sticker Stitches  and Twine!  I love all the different possibilities with this 17turtles file.  It's amazing!

I even used the hearts as a border on several of the cards pictured below.

Loved combining 17turtles shapes for these cards and adding lots of SRM goodies including Borders, Sentiments, punched pieces and twine!

Here are the stickers I used in this post:  Stickers used: Sentiment/Thank You, Fancy Sentiment/Thanks, We've Got Your Sticker Plus/Thanks, We've Got Your Border/Wedding, Sentiment/Thinking of You

And here's the amazing digi file that I used to create all of these fun projects!

Pie Chart Love by Tessa

Hello! Tessa Buys here with a layout inspired by a lovely cut file from 17 Turtles. I had the pleasure of working with the Pie Chart Love design:

I recently took a photo of myself with a bunch of balloons as I volunteered at our local elementary school. I thought the circles of the pie charts looked like the balloons, so I colored the background of each pie chart with watercolors to match the balloons in my photo. Some slices received the gold glitter treatment.

My favorite part of the cut file is the hearts, so of course I saved that special spot for SRM stickers! I used the We've Got Your Border - Bright sheet, specifically the sticker that reads "happiness is...". It was a really fun experience and I thought that sticker perfectly expressed how I feel about reading to kids and volunteering.

Here's the 17turtles cut file I used.

Creating this layout has inspired me to pair cut files and SRM Stickers more often! Many thanks to 17 Turtles for the fun design!  Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to WIN a $15 gift certificate for your own cut files. 

Bold Sentiment Cards by Lorena

Welcome back to our celebration of 17 Turtles Digital Cut files!

Hello everyone! Are you ready for another dose of inspiration on how to combine SRM products and the awesome 17 Turtles digital files? Lorena here with a couple of cards using the This is Magic cut file and lots of SRM goodies, too! The cut file I'm using is chocking full of lovely script words that are perfect both for cards and scrapbook layouts.

Here's my first card:

I started creating a rainbow background using SRM's Punched Pieces (medium size). Next, I die cut the word happy from the This is Magic cut file, covered it in embossing ink and hear embossed it using a black sparkling embossing powder. You should see how much it shines in real life!!! To complete the sentiment, I used a sticker from Sentiment/Thinking of You. I adhered the stickers to a piece of cardstock and made some very detailed trimming around it.

For the second card, I started with a stenciled background. Of course, I made my own stencil using SRM's Heavy Weight Stencil Sheet. As I've said many times, I adore this product :)

This time I used the word Hello from the digital cut file and, like on the first card, I covered it with heat embossing powder. I added three layers of embossing powder and the result is fantastic! Looks like a giant enamel word! To complete the card I used a sentiment and a butterfly from We've Got Your Sticker/Hello. I love that this sheet has some white sentiments too!!! I also modified the butterfly center using a Copic marker and embellished it with rhinestones.

Creating these cards was super fun! One of the things I like the most about die cutting words from digital files is that you can make them the size you want. I hope you'll give this a try and have some fun combining digi files with SRM goodies! Thanks for visiting!

SRM Stickers & 17 Turtles Everyday Polaroid by Shantaie

Welcome back with another fun filled post featuring one of the cut files from 17 Turtles. 

Shantaie here with you and I hope you have had a chance to take a look at their fabtastic digital cut files, like the one I have used on my layout called everyday Polaroids 3!  Isn't it so cute!?

The cut file was super simple to use with my Silhouette, and I really appreciate that they open and import quickly in whatever format you choose! 

I love how perfectly the sentiments from SRM's life is good fit into the theme of everyday Polaroids cut. I trimmed the sticker to add a word to each section creating a title that extends the length of the page.  

It's rare for me to skip adding a little textile element on any project but this minimalist green shimmer twine bow with frayed ends was just enough to make me happy! 

There are few things that bring as much joy to a crafty girl as instant gratification, and the truest and simplest way to achieve that is with border stickers!!! I'm serious about this love affair!!!!!   Peel a pretty border in a beautiful color and place it where you want it, and "BAM"! Perfect green scallop border in 2.o seconds, I'm pretty sure SRM should be nominated for some type of award for this genius product!

Thanks for stopping by and as always thank you for all the sweet comments you leave us, we love to hear from you!

17 Turtles Bee Happy Tag by Cassonda

Hello SRM Fans!! Cassonda here with you today to share with you a sweet project featuring a 17turtles cut file called Everyday Carnival Tickets AND some fun SRM products.

The base for my HUGE tag is actually some package backing. Never throw those away...some companies have the prettiest packaging. :)  I added some springtime papers by Doodlebug for a yellow background and dotted papers for the scallops. I love how they look when they're layered all together. I also tucked in some pieces of a Gold Lace Doily. 

I'm a layers kind of girl so after my background area was set I went to town making my tag pretty. I added a banner sticker from the We've Got Your Border/Bright set across the top, a Life is good Sticker Sentiment a little bee from Jane's Doodles Garden Friends clear stamps and some ribbon with a button to tie it up. I wanted some of my tickets to be solid and some to be open. So when I sent the file to my silhouette I made sure I had both options ready. The file includes 4 designs to choose from....I think the camera is my favorite. :)

I hope you enjoy this tag and will create something "Happy" for someone else.
Have a wonderful Day! ♥
