Make a Wish Birthday Tubes by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing some fun birthday tubes with you!

I wanted to do something fun and somewhat whimsical, so I thought of a garden/flower themed birthday party. :). Perfect for Spring!

I started with my tubes which I simply added some patterned paper around. Easy, right?...After, I worked on making my tags. I used some bright yellow punched pieces and some little flower die cuts. 

For my sentiments, I used some stickers and simply added them to cardstock. Once done, I added them to my tubes and used some twine to tie it all together. Simple, yeah?!...

*Note: Since being a garden themed party, I thought the perfect treat to fill these tubes with would be those little chocolate covered sunflower seeds candies. ;) Though, you can easily fill them with anything you like! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Glow Stick Tubes by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today to share a project that is perfect for the 4th of July and, as an added bonus it's easy and fast! In my book, it doesn't get much better than an easy project that your kids will love during the busy summer months.

We love taking glow sticks with us when we go out to watch the 4th of July fireworks. Decorating some SRM Magic Wand Tubes is a fun way to package the glow sticks and make sure they don't get cracked and activated ahead of time. 

The Magic Wand Tubes are big enough to hold about 5 glow sticks, which is enough to make a couple of bracelets and a necklace. To decorate the tubes I used a mix of SRM's 4th of July themed stickers from Say It With Stickers 4th of July, Express Yourself 4th of July, and Stickers By the Dozen Patriotic. 

Just fill your tube with glow sticks, decorate with stickers, and you've got a fast and fun 4th of July treat!

St. Patty's Day Tubes by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here with you today. We love St. Patty's Day at our house. I have some Irish ancestry, so we make sure to do it up right. This year I thought it would be fun to use the SRM tubes to make some pot of gold and rainbow favors. 

When using the clear tubes, I always like to start off with some cute tags. I used the scalloped circles Punched Pieces in black, blue, and green to created my tags.  

I think the both sides of the tag should be equally cute, so I added a Happy St. Patty's Day to the front. On the back I either used the shamrock sticker from the Calendar Companion stickers, or I stamped a shamrock using the heart stamp from the Birthday Plans stamp set. 

For my rainbow tubes I used the long, narrow Magic Wand Tube. Skittles work really well in them! 7 of each color of Skittle will fill them up. 

For my pots of gold Tubes I added Rolos to the Mini Tubes. 7 Rolos will fill up these tubes perfectly. I thought they needed something more, so I added a little green Sticker Stitches Border sticker to the bottom. 

I finished up with attaching my tags with a little blue or green jute twine. Sláinte! and I hope you have a wonderful St. Patty's. 

Make a Wish Wands by Tanya

Hi there, this is Tanya and I have a fun, happy project to share with you today!

Have you ever wished for a Fairy Godmother to grant your every wish? Wouldn't that be awesome (especially on laundry day)?  While I know it's wishful thinking, if I did have a Fairy Godmother, I would want her to have a Magic Wand just as pretty and colorful as these.

Aren't these fun? And, they were so easy to make!  I started with the Magic Wand Tubes and filled them with some colorful candies.  Next, I cut out some pretty, pastel stars on my Silhouette and decorated them with a gold gel pen and sequins.

Using a die and some glittery gold cardstock, I created a base for the beautiful "Make A Wish" sentiment from the Fancy Sentiment/Birthday sticker sheet.

 Some pretty curling ribbon finished up these wands perfectly.

Now, if only that Fairy Godmother would show up on laundry day!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Friday Flashback by Melanie Jarocki

Today is a new feature called Friday Flashback !  I will be sharing with you projects from previous design teams that relate to products that are still popular in our line. 

Today we feature Melanie Jarocki who created this project in 2011.  It is perfect for today's interest in Bible Journaling.  Using SRM's Faith Sticker Sentiments and our Magic Wands Melanie created these wonderful "Faith Wands".  They are inspirations wants to share spiritual messages.  

Melanie started with SRM's Faith Sticker Sentiments.

What a wonderful project to share with friends or family.  Choose your favorite bible verses and embellish your bookmark with a clear sticker sentiment.

Magic Wand YouTube by Tessa

Tessa Buys is a design team member with a special focus, videos! Over the next year Tessa will teach us how to use SRM Sticker products via YouTube.  Today she is going to create a flower Magic Wand that would be perfect as a party favor for little girls but could be used for weddings or showers as well. Tessa loves to dress up the wand with big, beautiful flowers using the wand as the stem.  

To see part 1 of the video, here is the LINK.
Watch Tessa work her magic with SRM's Wand, Sticker Stitches, Washi Tape, bling, ribbon and a flower.  

In addition to washi tape and SRM's Sticker Stitches, Tessa uses some bling.  



Sticker Stitches are one of Tessa's favorite SRM Stickers.  She loves their versatility.  



And the last step is to attach the flower.  Here's a closeup of Tessa's beautiful flower that is set off with a bold black and white striped ribbon.
View part 2 of Tessa's video HERE where she shows you how to attach the flower. 

Wow!  What great videos to teach us some special ways to dress us SRM's Magic Wand.  Thanks Tessa for all the inspiration.  Can't wait to see what you do next time! 

Princess Magic Wand by Clare

Clare Buswell has created a Butterfly Magic Wand fit for a Princess!  I'll bet her little girl or any little girl would love to have one of these!  Clare started her project with a SRM Magic Wand that's crystal clear and measures 12" x 5/8".  It would make a wonderful gift or party favor.  Here's a mini tutorial so you can make one of these for your favorite princess!

Start with an empty Magic Wand! 

Clare took her Magic Wand and filled it with sweets.  She took her inspiration from the colors of the sweets and drew a simple butterfly template to make the cardstock butterfly topper. 

She added two layers of wings and stitched around the edges of the smaller layer using Marigold Twine.

Using a Bright Blank Label, Clare dressed up her wand with stickers from SRM's Everyday Girl and We've Got Your Sticker Princess designs. 

Clare wrapped some Marigold and Cantaloupe Twine around the wand and left some pieces hanging down to act like streamers. Then she added a variety of stickers to embellish the wand. 

Tip:  To attach the butterfly to the tube Clare made a simple loop tab from cardstock that forms the body of the butterfly and it simply slots onto the tube.

What a lovely, magical project.  Thanks Clare for the inspiration!

Easter Wands!

Amy Crockett once again (see yesterday's post!) put her Cricut machine to work along with SRM stickers, twine, and magic wands to create a trio of special Easter treats;

Amy adhered green twine (what a clever idea to create 'grass'!) with a strong adhesive strip along the bottom of the wands then trimmed the excess;

Our magic wand is just one of the types of tubes we carry. Click HERE to see them all.

Tessa Buys found beautiful gold glitter leaves and decided they'd be perfect for an Fall Magic Wand. Tessa filled the wand with candy, attached the fall leaves and a tag using our Fall Sticker Sentiments;

I Stand For Hope

To recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness month, Tessa Buys altered a WAND using our Breast Cancer Awareness Stickers.

Tessa says; "When I saw this pink tennis shoe key chain, I knew it had to become a BCA wand. With all the walks/runs for BC research, I thought the shoe was a perfect fit ;). Plus, it makes the wand stand on its own!"







Have you altered a tube or wand yet? You can purchase them HERE. Our BCA stickers can be found HERE.
