Masculine Gift Bags by Angie

Hello SRM friends. Angie here with you today!!

Wanted to share with you some super easy to create gifts bags for all the dads in your life. These would be fun for small kids to make!  These would be great for a dad's birthday, for any occasion and especially for Father's Day.  This is what I made them for.

I used the awesome patterned bags from SRM, a free cut file that I found online and some letter stickers to make these bags. Pop a card or gift card inside and you have a quick but super cute gift for dear ol' dad! 

These bags are really easy to recreate and simple enough for the smallest of kids to help with. 

I hope you give these gift bags a try and impress dad on his special day!

Doilies and Gift Bags by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing some sweet doily gift bags with you!

I started with my doilies and added a fun die cut sentiment piece to each of them. Then I added them to my little bags with some jute twine and a mini staple to adhere it on my bag. After, I added a couple little die cut bees and a little 'I love you' sentiment banner. Easy peasy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Origami Dress Card by Emma

Hello again, SRM friends!  It's Emma here to share a fun and easy card that I made for Mother's Day, or any other special woman in your life.  You can tweak the sentiment and make it into any kind of card you like  So fun!

 

 SRM has these beautiful patterened paper gift bags, in many different designs.  I thought it would be fun to use the paper bags to make a folded origami dress for my card.

 

I used this template, and traced my dress outline on one of the lovely pink striped paper bags.  (You can download the PDF template HERE).

 

Once the design was traced, I then cut the pieces out, and folded the pleats of the dress.Next, for the card background.  I used a white paper doily, and gently highlighted the texture with some pink ink.

To finish the card, I adhered the dress pieces to the doily, and stamped a Mother's Day sentiment.  But you could do a birthday sentiment and that would work too!

So there you have it, a really easy card, and an alternative use for the lovely paper bags available from SRM.  You could even use one of these bags as your envelope!

 

I hope you've enjoyed my project!  What will you create with SRM's patterned paper bags?

Happy crafting!

Graduation Shaker Tag & Gift by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing a fun and simple graduation gift with you.

I started with my gift box. I used a SRM Stickers kraft box and a large SRM Stickers patterned bag for 'wrapping paper'. Simply cut the patterned bag on the sides and lay flat. Then wrap your box. Easy peasy, right?!...

Next, I made a shaker tag. I used a fun die along with some silver glitter cardstock and some sequins. Once I done with my shaker part, I added a simple SRM Stickers 'grad' sticker. Which I placed on a piece of cardstock underneath along with some foam tape and then placed it on my tag. After I added it to my gift. Fun and simple, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Easter Bags by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm swinging in to share some fun and easy Easter bags with you. And they happened to be perfect for kids, too! ;) 

I started with choosing my patterned bags, in this case I chose the polka dots in purple, turquoise, pink, and yellow. After I used some felt to make some 'peeps/bunnies' and they attached them to my bags. I then added a little sticker sentiment to my bags, along with a few sequins. 

So simple, right?!...These easily can be filled with candies, little games/toys, a coloring page and crayons, etc. So many possibilities! I left my empty for now because I don't want my kids seeing anything. ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Spring Cards by Angie

Hello SRM friends and fans! Angie here today to share some spring card inspiration. I love using SRM's bags as envelopes and decorating them too!

One of my favorite stamp sets from SRM is the Just Believe set. I used the stamps from that set on both of my cards.  It is a religious themed stamp set but by looking at my cards, you would never know that. That is one reason why I love SRM's stamp sets--they are so versatile. 

I also used the XXX stamp from the BIG Love stamp set to give my cards a stitched look. The XXX stamp is one long strip but I cut mine down so I could have just three stamps. 

I stamped and fussy cut both butterflies, one of the flowers and the leaf stem. I also stamped one of the other flowers on the pink tag. 

To color the butterflies on the thank you card, I used the watercolor pencils. Just simply add your color and then spread it around using a water brush. 

I used SRM's awesome labels by the dozen on both cards. Those labels have so many uses. They can be used on cards, scrapbook layouts, tubes or even for labeling stuff in your kitchen!! SRM also has many colors of jute twine. I used light pink jute on both cards. 

As you can see, I also used two awesome bags from SRM as cute 'envelopes' for my cards. Have you checked out the selection of bags? Go ahead and have a look. I used the embossed chevron glassine bag and the lime green stripe bag.

I hope you enjoy the ways that I incorporated spring on my everyday type of cards.

Thanks for stopping by the SRM blog!!

Hello Spring Bunny Treat Bags by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here today with something fun for Spring!

SRM is celebrating Spring and I immediately think of bunnies and baskets, lush green lawns and delicate flowers when spring is mentioned. I made a set of treat bags to fill Easter baskets or to hand out as a cheerful gift. 

SRM Kraft bags were used to create a sweet treat container. I cut the bunnies with the Silhouette cameo using this design by Sarah Bailey super cute, and quick to put together.

Next I stamped "hello spring" using SRM seasonal planner clear stamp set and embossed it with black powder.  I love that font!

I made 5 of these filled with easter goodies for my nieces and nephews Easter baskets 3 blue and 2 white and pink. to seal the bag closed ...you know so I don't get tempted to grab a craftroom snack or anything, I used a label sticker from the labels by the dozen bright blank  and labels by the dozen everyday brights.

I hope you enjoyed these adorable little treat bags, have a great and inspired day!

Trio of Valentine Cards by Shanna

Hello SRM friends!!  Shanna here again with some fun new cards using a few of the adorable stickers SRM has available for Valentine's Day!  Perfect to give to a few special somebodies in your life!!  

Hope you enjoy!

Here are the 2 sheets I chose to use that helped make all 3 cards!

Supplies Used:

SRM Say it with stickers/Valentine

SRM Stickers by the dozen/Valentine

SRM Patterned bag

SRM Fabric bags

SRM Red Heart Doily

SRM Red jute twine

Candy Apple Distress ink

Fired Brick Distress Oxide ink

Pink Shimmer Spray

...and here they are!!

This is a standard A2 card base in white, double matted and spritzed with shimmery pink color spray, the sentiment was popped up with pop dots on an additional piece of white cardstock.  I love the sparkle the shimmer mist provides as a backdrop! The treat bag was great envelope for gifting this card..I love using non-traditional envies for my cards, I added the doily last minute, it fit perfect!!

This mini card is 2x3 in size, with distress inks smoothed in a watercolor background.  Absolutely one of my favorite techniques and super easy! Adding the age-old sentiment "Be My Valentine" was a no-brainer!!  A few heart sequins added the perfect touch! Loving the lacy linen bag as my envelope...it even has a little room left for some sweet treats!

\

Lastly, a 3x3 card that slid perfectly into this linen dotted bag!  Another dose of ink smooshing worked great to frame up the fun heart in the middle.  The border stickers are a fun way to frame up a small project as well!  The polka dot bag was a great match for an envelope, I can slide in some sweet treats or even a gift card if I wanted to!  

Here are all the cards ready to give to a special Valentine!

What type of cards or gifts are you making for YOUR Valentine this year??  

Until next time...

Bible Margin Stamps Gift Bags by Karen

SRM's new Bible Margin stamps aren't just for Bible journaling. I used a couple of margin stamps as part of a gift bag decoration - and they double as bookmarks!

I stamped the margins on white cardstock which I had watercolored a pretty background. I used watercolor pencils to add more detail to the images. Mounting it onto a piece of colored cardstock helps it stand out against the fun patterned paper bags, doily, and sticker stitches and sentiments. 

By using a decorative clip to attach it to the bag, the recipient can easily remove it to use as a bookmark, too

 

For this project, I used:

Patterned bags | Bible Margins stamps Rejoice| Sticker Stitches | Sticker Sentiments Happy Birthday | ColorIn Watercolor Pencils

Love You Valentine Cards by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm swinging in to share couple simple 'love you' Valentine cards with you! 

Hello!  Shelly here today to share some love! 

I started with my base card, which I centered my arrow in the the middle in my card. Then stamped it with a light grey ink. After I added my 'you' on top of my arrow using black ink. Next, I added 'love' slightly overlapping my 'you' using a red ink. 

To finish things off, I added a touch of black twine and thought it would be sweet to slip them each into a patterned bag. Simple, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Valentine Treat Bags by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today I'm stopping in to share some fun and simple Valentine treat bags with you! 

I started with using some small kraft bags and filled them with a little bit of goodies. To close them up, I added a couple tags. Which I simply added a 'Be My Valentine' sticker to white cardstock and made a banner out of it. To add a little bit of 'pop' I hand drew on some little 'dashes/stitches' using a pink pen. For my smaller tag, I added a fun background of arrows using the Bible Background stamp set in a light mint color ink. Then, I used the Walk by Faith stamp set for my heart and after did a little fussy cutting, then added it to my tag. 

To finish everything off, I made a little bow using some twine and then a mini staple to hold everything together. Easy peasy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Christmas Layout by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today to share a special layout 

Christmas to document my family's special time together at this most wonderful time of year.   

I love to preserve our Christmas memories in our scrapbooks. This layout came together so quickly, which is a must in this busy season. 

Two patterned bags provide not just a fun background, but a convenient spot to slip in extra photos and my daughter's letter to Santa. 

Lots of layering of SRM's clear holiday stickers bring this layout to life.

For this project I used:

Patterned Bags | Stickers By the Dozen, Take 2 Christmas | We've Got Your Stickers Plus Christmas Tree | Stickers By the Dozen Christmas | Sticker Sentiments Happy Holidays | We've Got Your Sticker Merry | We've Got Your Border Christmas

Gift Wrapping by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here today with you to share an idea for a special gift.  I love to create handmade packaging and with SRM bags and stickers it is really quick and easy.  I created a Christmas bag to contain a gift for one of my creative friends (we are a group of girls who meet each month to create projects all together, we have so much fun!)

Here you can see my gift: it is an handmade faux dori (if you are interested in how I made it, you can find the photo tutorial here in my blog.) I gathered all the supplies I needed and started creating my bag. I chose the red polka dot bag because it screams Christmas to me, and the bigger size was just perfect to contain the faux dori. 

To close the bag I fold the top, punched two holes and passed red jute through them, then I created a bow. 

In a first time I thought to use the white heart paper doily but then I changed my mind: I composed the sentence "ho ho ho, merry Christmas to you!" with some stickers, alternating red and black color. I attached the stickers to white paper and then adhered them on the bag with different angles to create movement.I also added two circular stickers because they reminded me of the polka dots.

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia
