Pumpkin Patch Fall card by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here today with a fun Fall card. 

I'm in awe thats is fall, and we have all things fall to look forward to! I'm having fun with watercolor paper and stamps, all the beautiful fall hues melting into the paper! The Autumn Blessings stamp set is one of my favorites and tends to be the first one I reach for when I think fall!

I used a watercolor paper, and a slightly wet brush to "smudge" the leaves in the background, I added a few accents with Marvy Color In Watercolor Pencils for the pumpkin stems and leaf edges. So easy to feel like a real artist! A simple bow made from cream cord, adds just the right amount of softness and texture to finish the card. 

Now to enjoy all things Pumpkin spice!

Stamped Stitches Background Stamp by Juliana

Hello everyone! It's Juliana here with you to share a card I created using the SRM Stickers Stamped Stitches stamp set.  It is a great set, that is perfect for creating stitched borders on cards, scrapbook pages and more. However, I thought it would be fun to share with you a different way to use this stamp set.

Instead of using each stamp individually, I placed each of the stamps on to a large acrylic stamping block and created my own background stamp. I stamped the image using Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with white embossing powder and then heat set it using a heat gun.

I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to create the rainbow of colors. I wanted to keep the colors bright, so I only added a very small amount of water to help blend the individual colors.

To further embellish the card, I added several die cut stars and some wood veneer stars. The final touch was a stamped sentiment. I used the "Hello" from the Coffee Time stamps set using Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with white embossing powder and heat set it.

I hope you enjoyed learning a fun new way to use the SRM Stickers Stamped Stitches stamp set. Thanks for stopping by today!

HUGS!
Juliana

Bible Journaling on Romans 12:15 by Christine

Ever have a verse that just sticks out to you for several days.  Romans 12:15 has been in my brain so I decided to art journal it and reflect a little more on putting it into practice!

Life sometimes throws some hard situations that way and although we like to share our art we may not want to share the personal journaling.  This is where SRM's Le Pens come in handy....you can use them on the back side of your cardstock and they don't bleed thru and you don't have to share your feelings with the world.  I did just that for this piece!  I let God's word do the talking to share and reflected on my own on the backside.

I LOVE the Big Faith stamps (and am so excited for the new releases!!!) and The big REJOICE was the focus for my verse.  But I also used several different stamp sets for my doodling!  And added some loops around the edge, also from the Rejoice stamp. 

The Doodle Flowers set is so versatile and worked perfectly for this! After stamping with it - I then used gelatos to add some messy color.  I also used the Life is Good set for my hearts and Springtime for my butterflies.

Rain or Shine by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with a "pick me up" type of card! Sometimes we just need a bit of cheering up when life throws ya' those curve balls, you know? ;)  I love this set by Jane's Doodles called,  Rain or Shine.

I used my Misti and a bit of masking to layer the umbrellas and flowers.   They were colored in with Copic markers and then a bit of colored pencil.  I added Stickles to give it  some sparkle. 

 I also added clear dew drops and coordinating string. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Bible Journaling with Christine

It is so relaxing to do Bible Journaling during stressful times!  I love searching for a verse to create with that hits home!  My family is currently packing up for an out of state move and there's a whole lot of trusting in the Lord happening.  So Jeremiah 17:7 felt like the perfect verse to capture my mood and serve as a reminder as I open up my Bible!

I like to journal on some sturdy cardstock and insert it by the verse in the Bible - I know lots love to do the margins - I just have a different approach :)

After creating my background using watercolor paints, I used a combination of stickers and stamps to write out the verse.  The Big Faith stamp supplied both the word "Blessed" and my stitching border.

I used the Words of Faith Stamp set for my crosses.  The solid black hearts come from the Life is Good stamp set and the others are punched out of patterned paper.  I have to mention how great the Black Le Pen is for this type of project - I used it for all my outlining and it works beautifully!

We've got a ton of new Bible Journaling stamps coming your way soon so be sure to stay tuned to see their release!

Celebrate! by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with a fun water colored card using one of my favorite stamps from Jane's Doodles, Tea Time.   I stamped it in a light brown ink, and colored it with Kuretake Watercolor markers.  

I brushed gold Stickles on to the sides of the cups. I added brown liquid applique for the coffee and white liquid applique for the steam.  I had some leftover fabric from my daughter's room and decided to cut it into a strip for my ribbon.  As a final touch I added a celebrate sticker from SRM's  We've Got Your Border/birthday set. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Birthday Wishes - Day #4

I'm always looking a great ideas for birthday cards.  You just can't have too many birthday cards on hand.  When my team surprised me with all the beautiful cards that I've been featuring this week on the blog, many of them sent the card on to me.  What a wonderful surprise it was! 

First up we share with you a dreamy card from Shantaie Fowler.  She has used so many different materials on this layered card.  I simply love it!  From SRM she used the Happy Birthday Fancy Sentiment, some Sticker Stitches, twine, some white lace and some floral ribbon too!  

And here's a beautiful card from Stacey Schaefer who used a Jane's Doodles Wise Owl stamp along with a clear Happy Birthday sticker, a silver doily, punched pieces and some twine.  Gorgeous! 

Thanks for joining us in our Birthday Wishes celebration this week.  Which one is your favorite card?  Hard to choose.   

Birthday Wishes - Day #2

Welcome to day #2 of birthday cards that my team surprised me with last summer.  I never shared them on the blog and every one of them is a work of art!  Today I'm sharing 3 more cards.  Enjoy!

First up is Cassonda Tadlock who loves to make her cards frilly and fun and fabulous!  On this card, Cassonda used her SRM Fancy Sticker Sentiments birthday design.  Don't you just love the fancy netting?  And the hands of a clock?  So clever!

This card is a beauty from Michele Kovack who loves anything that sparkles.  You will always find some glitter or sequins on her cards and you most often will find a SRM sentiment.  And don't forget the flowers!  The teapot is from Jane's Doodles Tea Time stamp, one of Michele's favorites.

And the third card is from the super talented Miss Tenia Nelson!  Tenia loves to stamp her cards but then loves to use a clear sticker sentiment.  Love how it's backed in a bright pink.  And the final touch to almost all of Tenia's cards is a touch of Sticker Stitches.  What a delicious card! 

Thanks for joining us again today.  Check back in tomorrow for more birthday inspiration.

Birthday Wishes - Day #1

One of the most wonderful days of my crafting life came on my last birthday.  I was at a trade show and so exhausted from set up.  I opened up my Facebook and saw that my amazing design team had put together a surprise birthday blog hop.  Each one of them had made a wonderful card for me and posted on their individual blogs such wonderful posts about our relationship.  I literally was crying for joy at my computer as I read each of the blog posts.   It was truly overwhelming.  What a wonderful group of ladies they are! 

I realized that I had never shared these cards with you so this week we are going to be featuring our design team's birthday cards.  Who doesn't need birthday card inspiration? 

So for the next few days I'm going to share their cards.  Everyone needs ideas for birthday cards and these cards are all amazing!  Enjoy!

First up is Christine Meyer, the instigator of this secret birthday bloghop.  Thank you Christine for being such a sweetheart.  Here's Christine's beautiful card using SRM Lace, Fancy Birthday Sentiments and white Sticker Stitches.  {{SIGH}}

Feel Better Soon Card by Juliana

Hello SRM Fans, Juliana here with you today to share a bit of spring time stamping with you using the new Jane's Doodles Rain or Shine stamp set.

I began by stamping all of my images onto watercolor paper and then colored them using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. These pens contain a water based dye that can be blended to achieve a wonderful watercolored look.

Next, I fussy cut each image and adhered it to the die cut circle with double sided foam adhesive. I hope the cheerful spring-like colors I used will uplight the recipient of this card and bring them a bit of happiness on their road to recovery!

Coffee Times Three by Lesley

Hello crafty friends! Lesley here! I love coffee themed stamps and in our SRM store, we carry Jane's Doodle stamps!!! Jane has an adorable coffee set called Coffee Time that is so versatile and easy to use! 

I have made a few different cards with this set. Sometimes I need some thank you cards on hand that I can use in my classroom. So this design made for a quick and easy card!

I am also into watercolouring and I wanted to create a watercoloured card using the coffee set. I decided to use the sentiment "You Warm My Heart" and I decided to do a loose watercolour.

 

The "warm" part made me think of melting hearts! 

And finally I created a little "Lovey" themed coffee card! Simple and easy to make but very special for that certain someone in your life!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope this inspired you to make a few simple but sweet cards for your stash!

Rain or Shine Thank You Card by Juliana

Hi everyone! It's Juliana here with you and today I'm sharing a Thank You card I made using the adorable Jane's Doodles Rain or Shine stamp set. I love all of the spring themed stamps that are part of this set and I thought it would be super fun to combine the adorable rain boots with the little flower bouquet.

I stamped the images on smooth white cardstock and then colored them in using colored pencils. To help with blending the color, I used Gamsol and a paper stump. I then fussy cut the rain boots and the two bouquets of flowers. I wanted to the card to have a little dimension so I used double sided adhesive to adhere one of the boots and one of the bouquets. I then mounted everything on a SRM Stickers 4" white doily before attaching it to the card front.

Thanks for dropping by and Happy Spring!
