Thank You Tubes by Angie

Hello SRM friends!! Angie with you today!!

I have a cute idea using SRM's clear tubes.

I used the clear tubes and filled them with wildflower seeds which would make adorable thank you gifts for a garden themed party!! 

I used several SRM stickers to embellish the tubes with and then attached the scalloped circles with twine. They were so quick and easy to make but they turned out so cute!

I hope you give these thank you gifts a try for your next party!

Be Merry Candle Gift by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today I'm sharing a simple gift idea with you!

I started with my candle jar and simply wrapped some wired burlap ribbon around it. After I used some red jute twine and tied it around the burlap. Easy, right?!...Next, I used a festive holly die cut with green cardstock. Which I layered two times. 

To finish things off, I added 'be merry' to a circle die cut piece using kraft cardstock and punched a hole at the top. Once done, I added everything to my jar and tied things off. Simple yet makes for a sweet gift, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

2017 Desk Calendar by Melanie

Hello! Melanie here today to share one of my favorite things -- SRM Calendar stickers! They are so cute and perfect . . . and I love calendars :)

I used the 2017 Decorative Mini Calendars to put together this desk calendar I can use at work. 

Having something small and as a quick reference is very handy for me. And if it is cute, it is an extra bonus!

For each month I used 3x4 inch cards (I have a TON of these in my stash). Then I added the calendars and an embellishment.

The SRM Sticker Stitches worked beautifully to add a finishing touch. They come in several different colors to add a fun pop to your projects.

I used my binding machine and 1/2" coils to connect each of the month pages together. Because it fans out, it sits really nicely on it's own.

This calendar is for me . . . but I can definitely see myself making more for gifts :)

Enjoy your day!

First Day of School by Tanya

Hello everyone!  This is Tanya with a quick and easy Back to School project for you.

Don't you just love all of the fun "First Day of School" photos you see on social media these days?  The photos are such great mementos of each new school year.  My grandsons will be starting a new school year very soon and I thought I would have a couple of picture frames ready for their big day:

I found these inexpensive wooden frames at my local craft store and dressed them up with stickers from the Express Yourself/School sticker sheet and the Live Life/School sticker sheet.

For each frame, I first added my stickers to white cardstock and trimmed close to the edges. Next, I glued the white layer onto either red or blue cardstock and trimmed again before adhering them to my frames. A few enamel stars in red and blue add to the back to school theme.  All I need now is a photo of each of my boys on their big day and my frames will be complete!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Peanuts on Parade by Shantie

Hello!  Shantie here today to share a fun project.

Containers, are one of my favorite crafty products, clear containers that offer a colorful peek-a-boo inside are probably the most fun ever! 

A panel of patterned paper is embellished with a sweet baby elephant holding a balloon. The balloon is highlighted with a white bistro chalk marker and a twisting twine bow in cantaloupe.  I added a simple greeting of baby love from the we've got your border baby girl and a border from the baby sentiment sheet.

Making favors, gifts, or packages of any kind is just a little more fun and eye catching with a clear box!

NEW 2017 Calendar Products

Good morning and welcome to a week of mini calendar happiness!  You will see gift calendar projects, mixed media projects, cards, and layouts using our mini calendars.  They are clear so if you use them on patterned paper, you see the paper too!

We are excited to announce that the 2017 Mini Calendars (both decorative and standard) and the 2017 Year of Memories are both in stock and ready to ship!  YAY!   The mini calendars are our most popular product.  You can do so many things with them and this week we are going to share some of the most popular projects over the years that our design team has created.  If you see another year on the project, you can CASE it and just add the 2017 stickers! 

Today we share with you a darling idea for a special gift from Jennifer Pohl.  It's never too early to get started with creating hand crafted Christmas gifts and a mini calendar project is something that your friends and family will use throughout the year. 

Jennifer created 12 decorated calendar pieces, 1 for each month of the year. She decorated them with the Standard Mini Calendar and various We've Got Your Borders that match the month, the season or the holidays.  And then she got a little easel to hold them.  Don't you just LOVE this idea?  You can make it.  It's easy peasy.  I have made many of these!

And here are the results….month by month!

This is a very quick and easy project and fun to make with kids! 

So how many of these are you going to make?

Sweet Love Vinyl by Annette

Happy Day SRM Stickers Friends...

Annette Allen here with you today.

Today I am gearing up for Valentines (just 2 months away) and thought I would share how to make your bubbly glasses just a little more romantic.

Today I am playing with SRM: 12x12 Patterned Vinyl (Red Polka Dots)

Do you love this vinyl as much as I do?

These patterns just make me happy.

I used a sentiment from the Silhouette online gallery.

I just love how easy it is to work with this vinyl. 

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

I thought it would also be cute to add a bow and use that center piece of the heart.  That's right vinyl on wood. Who would have thought?

Now time for a little bubbly..

Valentines is going to be SWEET!

And remember, you can change up this idea to any holiday or occasion… Christmas, New Year's and birthdays, just to name a few!

Thanks for stopping by.  

Happy SRM crafting.

SRM Holiday Fun by Annette

Happy Day SRM Stickers Friends..

Annette Allen here with you today to share a little Christmas fun.  So quick and easy, you still have time to make this!

Today I am playing with SRM Stickers:

White Lace 2"

Stickers Stitches: Christmas

We've Got Your Sticker: Merry

Stickers By the Dozen: Gingerbread Man

The Tiny Tube

I love to use these Tiny Tubes as stocking stuffers, it is a great way to gift money. I first used some Tombow liquid glue to adhere the pretty White Lace. Let the glue dry before trying to stick the stickers on. Next I used We've Got Your Sticker: Merry and Stickers By the Dozen: Gingerbread Man to finished decorating these fun Tiny Tubes. Now all they need is money in them.

For something a little extra I though I would make a cute sign that I can decorate with. I first sprayed Heidi Swapps color shine teal and green. Let spray dry before sticking stickers to wood. Next I used Stickers Stitches: Christmas and We've Got Your Sticker: Merry to finished decorating it. Simple and sweet but oh so fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy SRM Stickers Crafting.

Vinyl Over Glass by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie Fowler here today to share a fun Christmas gift idea with you using SRM vinyl. 

A clean and cheerful sentiment in red Vinyl cut with the Silhouette is a pretty way to embellish jars of handmade peppermint sugar scrub. 

 

l love how pretty they look!  A simple ribbon and candy cane embellishment are adorned with springs of delicate paper pine branches.  

To make the sugar scrub, mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup of coconut oil and a few drops of peppermint essential oil.

 Add a to/from Christmas label to the top of the jar and it's ready to give! 

Thanks for stopping in today! 

Very Versatile Vinyl by Shannon

Hello!  Shannon here with a quick project that will help you with your crafty Christmas gifts.  I am always looking for ways to make quick, thoughtful gifts for the people in my life. I am also always looking for earth friendly,  inexpensive ways to do this as well.

This project is a good one, I promise. You can make a great little gift for a teacher, a hostess, a neighbor and it can be a gift that gets used again and again. 

This is a repurposed jar. This project isn't new. I'm sure it's been done before, I'm just sharing a different way and encouraging you to do the same.  NOTE:  Be sure to clean the jar and let it dry before adding the vinyl.

Select a design of your choice, or for whatever occasion you are celebrating. The key here is simple.  I chose a one word sentiment and some branches for a Christmas themed candle holder. The vinyl is where you can add the detail. SRM has some FANTASTIC PATTERNED VINYL in a bunch of colors so you can customize in so many ways...for holidays, school colors, etc.  I used the Red and Green Dots for this project.  So festive!

Here's a view of the back, which shows you the branches that wrap around the candle holder. Pebbles or rocks are a great filler.  The candle is a small pillar candle.  Both the rocks and candle were purchased at the dollar store. The plan is to make more of these and wrap them in cellophane for teachers this year. 

Thank you for letting me share with you today that sometimes less is more. I'm showing you that you can do vinyl also, especially if you find it intimidating.  This simple project is showing you that you can navigate it in small steps and master it.   So how many of these little candle holders do you need to make? :)

Fun with Dies, Boxes and Stamps by Angi

Hello and let's welcome back the uber talented Angi Barrs!  

We are super excited to have her on our All Star Team!  We simply love her style!  Now let's hear from Angi in her own words… 

*****

Hello! Angi Barrs with you today! I am so blessed to have wonderful friends. I always like to thank them in some way when they do something thoughtful for me. Here is a "thank you" gift that I came up with using some fun products from SRM Stickers.

I mixed three different SRM products to make this one. First up is a "thank you" tag.

The tag is adorned with a canvas piece to add some texture. I used the wafer thin die and white cardstock to add a layered piece. This die coordinates with the mini calendar stickers, but can be used for other purposes too. I love to use it to add sentiments to my projects.

I also used the Jane's Doodles "Fancy Doodles" stamp set to add a sentiment and flower. I placed a tiny gem in the center of the flower to give it some shine.

I then dressed up an SRM kraft window box. You can use them for a variety of projects. I added coordinating washi tape to both the box and tag. I also stamped an extra flower for the outside of the box.

The "thank you" tag, confetti paper, and a gift card easily fit inside the box. Each of these window boxes comes with a clear film that you can adhere to the inside of the box. This ensures that your contents won't fall out.

Here's the beautiful "Fancy Doodles" stamp set that I used for the sentiment and the flower embellishment.

I hope that you are inspired to make your own "thank you" gifts. Your family and friends will love them. 

For these products and more be sure to check out the SRM Store!

Or drop by your local craft store and ask for SRM!

Happy Crafting!

Petterned Vinyl Monogram by Shantaie

Have you checked out the new patterned vinyls from SRM?  They are amazing!  New, different and nobody else base them.  It's a love thing for me! 

There are some things that never ever go out of style and although they are modified with each generation, monograms have true staying power! Patterned vinyl is a game changer for the classic monogram and adds a touch of whimsy or playful sophistication! 

I picked up a simple (functional but yawn..boring) lap desk for reading, doodling, coloring, and if I'm to be honest probably a bit of snacking too! To give it some personality I added a layered Silhouette cut monogram, easy quick and stunning!

I used mint vinyl for the background, and grey chevron vinyl for the focal portion of the design. Use patterned vinyl for bold gorgeous monograms on any surface you want to personalize, or like me get a head start on your Christmas list and add a special touch to your gifts! 

Happy creating! Shantaie

A Baby Gift by Cathy

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today, sharing a quick and easy idea for a baby gift.  I started with a mason jar and painted it with some light blue chalk paint..easy peasy, but a bit boring.  So I decided to add some of SRM's new 4 inch White Lace and bit of  Caribbean Baker's Twine around the top of the jar.  It dressed up the plain jar just perfect.  All I had to do next was add some pretty pink flowers.

I used one of SRM's new linen bags, this bag is 4x6!  So it was perfect for adding a sweet little scene to the front and holding a couple of little baby toys!  I used a 4 inch round white doily for my base and added some Simple Stories Hello Baby embellishments, then the final finishing touches with SRM's Take 2 Baby Stickers by the Dozen.  I used the border stickers along the bottom of the bag...they stick wonderfully and securely.  Then I added the " Oh Baby" sentiment on a. SRM 1 1/2 inch punched light blue circle.  Adorable!

I decided to add a little tag to the jar.  So I used another 4 inch white doily, again using the Simple Stories Hello Baby line and more borders from the Take 2 Baby Stickers by the Dozen.  To hang the little tag from one of the flower stems I created the little lace hanger with just a twist of 

SRM's new 2 inch white lace and a Caribbean Baker's Twine bow!  

 A simple gift with a big effect.  I really love the look of the lace on the chalky finished jar.  Simple and stunning!

Thanks for joining us today at SRM!  Be sure to come back soon for more inspiration!
