Vinyl Flamingo Fun with Shantaie


Spring is in the air and the level of excitement folks have about getting outdoors is almost palpable in every region! The birds are singing, the breeze is whispering, and the sun is warm and bright! Hi I'm Shantaie on deck with a handy little "picnic tote" that is super useful and sure to be a favorite all season long! 


I paired some of our gorgeous pink vinyl with a metal divided container with a tall handle, to create a place to store all of my outdoor eatery items. I can simply grab the box and head outside for lunch on the back porch or to the park for a picnic!

SRM Stickers Blog - Vinyl Flamingo Fun with Shantaie - #vinyl #pink #matte #homedecor #picnic #DIY

I used my Silhouette to cut the vinyl, it cuts clean and is really easy to apply!
 Don't fret or stop in your tracks if you don't have a die cutting machine, you can still embellish with SRM vinyl! Really!!!  Use your punches to make dots, hearts, or any clean shape, print a reverse design on the paper backing and cut it out by hand or trim pieces with your paper cutter to create your own stripes, plaid, or chevrons! Have fun and see what you come up with!

SRM Stickers Blog - Vinyl Flamingo Fun with Shantaie - #vinyl #pink #matte #homedecor #picnic #DIY

I love this cheeky sentiment, its one part fun and one part wisdom, every time I see it I can't keep the smiles away! 

I have outfitted my handy container with bright cheerful paper products that are functional, lightweight and ready to use, and hey, plastic reusable items are perfect too! Just gather your items and stash them away when not in use, if you ask me its so cute you can even store it right on the counter top! With all your supplies wrangled in one neat place they look great!

I hope this handy "picnic tote" idea will be useful to your home and all your outdoor {or indoor} activities. I love having it loaded with pretties and ready to go!

Miss You Card by Tessa Wise


Hi!  It's Tessa sharing with you today.  I am loving the addition of Jane's Doodles Clear Stamps to the SRM Store!  I thought I'd share a card I created recently using the adorable Home Sweet Home Stamp Set.

SRM Stickers Blog - Miss You Card by Tessa Wise - #card #cardmaking #twine #stickers #clearstamps #janesdoodles #stickerstitches #stitches

I diecut a journaling card out of watercolor paper and stamped the apartment building and clouds on it using Staz On ink.  I watercolored the image using my ink pads and let it dry.  I also stamped the little heart onto watercolor paper and painted it in as well. When it was dry, I cut around it and added it to the main image with some foam tape.

SRM Stickers Blog - Miss You Card by Tessa Wise - #card #cardmaking #twine #stickers #clearstamps #janesdoodles #stickerstitches #stitches

I created a card base out of sand cardstock and added some green patterned paper to the bottom portion.  I added a white stitch sticker from the Sticker Stitches/Halloween Sticker Sheet along the top.  I wrapped it with a bit of twine, ending in a bow over to the left side.  I added the stamped panel next, using foam tape for dimension.  The sentiment sticker from the Sentiment/Thinking of You Sticker Sheet was placed onto vellum and punched out with a circle punch.  I added it to complete the look!
Thanks for joining me today!

✿{hello friend!}✿ by Shannon

Hello!  Shannon here today using lots of SRM goodies on a card.  There's never enough "just because" cards...SRM Stickers and Jane's Doodles together can help you create something fabulous! Look at this "hello friend" card I created:

SRM Stickers Blog - ✿{hello friend!}✿ by Shannon - #card #stamps #stickers #twine

In this card you'll find many awesome things...like the Little Miss Mia Stamp Set (see adorable dog) and the Boris the Bunny Stamp Set (see minty heart). 


Then I added punched pieces, those always versatile Sticker Stitches,  some sentiments thrown in for good measure (We've Got Your Sticker Plus/Birdie) and a project is never complete without twine (Ocean colored,  of course!). Whew, that was a mouthful...but see?!?! The possibilities are endless. You can create so many things with all of the goodies at SRM!

Here are a few close ups, if you haven't used these Jane's Doodles stamps for SRM yet...you must! The quality is phenomenal and the application is wonderful...easy, seamless and I am stamping impaired...so if I'm telling you this, then RUN, don't walk to these stamps...marry them if you have to!

SRM Stickers Blog - ✿{hello friend!}✿ by Shannon - #card #stamps #stickers #twine

I'm serious. Even the sentiment was super easy to apply and work with. I LOVE these stamps. I likely could have just started the apocalypse because everyone who knows me, knows I am deeply intimidated by stamps! You can see how the sentiments and stitches work perfectly with these stamps as well! See below:

Thank you for letting me share with you today! ❤ Hope this card inspires you to create something great or conquer a crafty fear!

Next up, just a cute card to send a bit of Sunshine to a friend.  I created this card with 
We've got Your Sticker/Hello using the hello sunshine sentiment.  I layered a banner along with an hot pink punched scalloped circle.  I love to use the punched pieces for layering...the perfect accent.  I used some white sticker stitches from Christmas Sticker Stitches along with a yellow scalloped border from We've Got Your Border/Thank You.  And always, my finishing touch of SRM Baker's Twine in Strawberry!

Spring Has Sprung! by Annette


Happy Spring SRM Stickers friends...
Annette Allen here with you today to send a little brightness your way.

SRM Stickers Blog - Spring Has Sprung! by Annette - #card #twine #stamps #janesdoodles #stickers

Today I am playing with tons of SRM goodness:

SRM Stickers Blog - Spring Has Sprung! by Annette - #card #twine #stamps #janesdoodles #stickers

Nothing like fresh blooming flowers in the Spring. I stamped the flower from Jane's Doodles:  Garden Friends multiple times, colored and trimmed. 
I wanted this sweet dog from Jane's Doodles:  Little Miss Mia to be in a bed of flowers. Before creating my card I did a little watercolor background then adhered all these sweet images to created this flowered filled card. Nothing like the sweet sentiments from SRM Stickers:  Sticker Sentiments Spring to really make it feel like Spring. Finishing up the card with some bright Solid Pink Sorbet Twine to just add some more fun color to this Spring filled card. Now to write a sweet note and send it to a dear friend.

I hope you are ready for all the beautiful weather coming.
I can't wait to plant some flowers.

I hope you were inspired and ready to mix it up.

Flamingo Party Favor by Shantaie


Hi I'm Shantaie Fowler here with you today, and I was asked to create a party favor using one of our many versatile Clear Containers. While thinking about what to make I realized how many parties I have thrown or attended over the years, and few things make a lasting impact the way a party favor does! It's the part of the event you get to take home with you and no matter how lavish or rustic a favor... presentation is key!

SRM Stickers Blog - Flamingo Party Favor by Shantaie - #clearpurse #twine #stickers #labels #clearcontainers #lifeisgood #sentiments #partyfavors #favors

Boy, girl, child, or adult...everyone loves a favor! For a spring gathering celebrating a fashion release I have made these purses with a bottle of nail polish nestled in a layer of fiesta fringe. The Clear Purse seemed a perfect way to present the bright colored bottles! 

SRM Stickers Blog - Flamingo Party Favor by Shantaie - #clearpurse #twine #stickers #labels #clearcontainers #lifeisgood #sentiments #partyfavors #favors

I cut a flamingo with my Silhouette and tucked it behind a ribbon bow and a double bow made with strands of Twine in Caribbean and Pink Sorbet, topped off with a fabric brad.  The paper umbrella has a Labels by the Dozen "to and from" tag wrapped around the base, and and a sweet Life is Good sentiment round sticker on the umbrella itself!  Did you notice that pop of color at the bottom of the purse? That is a border  from the Valentine We've got your Border sheet!  It really ties all the colors together! 

SRM Stickers Blog - Flamingo Party Favor by Shantaie - #clearpurse #twine #stickers #labels #clearcontainers #lifeisgood #sentiments #partyfavors #favors

Cookies, crackers, markers or marshmallows, favors are a fun and lasting part of your event, you don't need to spend a fortune on a party to make it look like you hired a party planner, you just need a Clear Container and a fun idea! There are lots of ideas right here on our blog, or check out our Pinterest for tons of DIY inspiration! 
Party On! :)

Baseball is Life Shaker Tag by Lorena


Hello, SRM friends! It's Lorena with you today and I'm excited to be sharing a fun project for the sports lovers in your life. The new Sports Take 2 stickers are the star of the game today!

SRM Stickers Blog - Baseball is Life Shaker Tag by Lorena - #tag #shaker #sports #baseball #twine #stickers

I started die cutting two round tags from cardstock and acetate. Second, I die cut a circle from the center of one the cardstock tags and adhered the acetate behind it to make the window.

On the base of the tag (which once everything is assembled will be the "inside" of the shaker area) I adhered one of the big ball images from Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen / Baseball. To fill the shaker, I die cut some cardstock sequins and stars, but the fun part was adding lots of tiny baseball balls to the mix!

SRM Stickers Blog - Baseball is Life Shaker Tag by Lorena - #tag #shaker #sports #baseball #twine #stickers

I simply adhered one of the border stickers from the Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen / Baseball to a piece of white cardstock and punched them with a 1/2 inch punch.

Once the shaker mix was ready, I adhered the two tags (the base one and the acetate one) together with foam tape, leaving a small gap to pour the mix inside.

SRM Stickers Blog - Baseball is Life Shaker Tag by Lorena - #tag #shaker #sports #baseball #twine #stickers

The final touches were adding the "Baseball is life" sentiment, which I put together using two different border stickers and of course some baker's Twinery Twine. I went with red and black, but grey would look nice too.


I hope you like this idea! It can be used for many different sports just by changing the color combo and using the right stickers: SRM has soccervolleyball and basketball too!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Teacher Appreciation Day is coming up soon! 
May 5th is the day set aside to make sure and thank our teachers!  Now is the time to get working on those special cards for those people who take special care of your kiddos and SRM has all that you need to make teacher cards! Christine joining you today to share one of my teacher cards!


SRM Stickers Blog - Chalkboard Teacher Thank You Card by Christine - #card #teacher #thankyou #stickers #chalkboardmarker #Blackboard #DIY

The new Chalkboard Marker makes it easy to make a personalized card! After cutting my card to be shaped like a chalkboard easel, I used the Easy Chalkboard Marker to create my own chalkboard. 

SRM Stickers Blog - Chalkboard Teacher Thank You Card by Christine - #card #teacher #thankyou #stickers #chalkboardmarker #Blackboard #DIY

I added some Abc's etc with the Bistro White Fine Tip Chalk Marker.
A "Thanks" from the Sentiment: Thank You stickers works perfectly for adding the thank you but with a different medium.  And of course what teacher card would be finished without an apple on it - the one from Quick Cards/Teacher is perfect!

SRM Stickers Blog - Chalkboard Teacher Thank You Card by Christine - #card #teacher #thankyou #stickers #chalkboardmarker #Blackboard #DIY

Easy as ABC.. Easy as 123!  Get yourself some of these amazing markers and have yourself some fun making your own Chalkboard projects!

Personalized Wine Glasses by Cathy A.


Hello!  Cathy A here today with a fun idea for personalization with chalkboard markers.  

Have you ever been to a party and put your glass down only to come back and not know which one is yours? Well I have the solution and it is so quick and easy and because you write the names with a chalk marker you can wipe it off and re-use it.

SRM Stickers Blog - Personalized Wine Glasses by Cathy A. - #easychalkboardmarker #chalkboard #markers #white #flourencent #personization #DIY

Using some small Image Craft Metal Circle disks, I cover the rough side with SRM's new EASY Chalkboard Marker.  Give it a couple of coats and let it dry completely between layers.  Once dry, put a layer of white chalkboard over the disk using the 6mm white Bistro marker and let it dry.  Once dry, wipe clean with a damp cloth.  Now you have a permanent blackboard on your disks which you can change when you want to add them to wine glasses for new guests. 

SRM Stickers Blog - Personalized Wine Glasses by Cathy A. - #easychalkboardmarker #chalkboard #markers #white #flourencent #personization #DIY

Now use your florescent  and white fine tip markers to add the names of the people of the disks.  Add a pattern around the edge of the disk to embellish. 

SRM Stickers Blog - Personalized Wine Glasses by Cathy A. - #easychalkboardmarker #chalkboard #markers #white #flourencent #personization #DIY

If you make a mistake or want to change the name, simply wipe the blackboard disk with a damp cloth. Then put the new name onto the disk.

SRM Stickers Blog - Personalized Wine Glasses by Cathy A. - #easychalkboardmarker #chalkboard #markers #white #flourencent #personization #DIY

FYI...To attach the names to the stems of the glasses, use jump rings and a wire spring.  Be sure to remove the backing of the other side of the disk.  

How fun to have a set of these wine glass markers ready for any festive occasion.  Just add the names of your guests and you are good to go!
