Welcome Summer Sign by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today to celebrate summer with this Welcome Summer sign.

 Usually I'm a matte vinyl girl, but for this project, the glossy vinyl just seemed far more summery. One of my favorite home decor color combos for summer are shades of blue, white, and a rich red. 

When I use multiple colors of vinyl on one project, I cut each color separately and then place the letters one at a time. It seems like a lot of work, but placing the vinyl on this project took less than 15 minutes. 

To get the spacing right, I placed the letters for "Welcome" from left to right, and then the letters for "Summer" from right to left. 

 This Welcome Summer sign is a great way to add a little color (and vinyl fun) to your summer decorating!

Summer Baseball Layout by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today to share a summer baseball layout with you. I'm just using some SRM stickers and creatively cut card stock for this layout. 

I love mixing and matching patterned papers, so I thought I'd give myself a bit of a challenge and create a layout without any patterned paper. It was a bit hard for me, but a lot of fun, and a great way to let my SRM stickers really pop on the page. To add some interest to the plain card stock, I used a Silhouette Cameo to cut some designs. 

Then, I let my stickers, photo, and journaling tell the story. The grungy 2017 from the Year of Memories Sticker set was a great fit for this post game photo.  
  

The big baseball sticker and baseball themed words from Take 2: Stickers By the Dozen Baseball leave no question as to what sport this layout is all about, and they match perfectly with the color theme of our team's uniforms! 

Finally, I added a "LOVE" sticker from Love Sentiments, because coaching my son's 3 grade baseball team this year has been so very much fun, and I've loved every minute of it. 

Next time you're telling a story on your layout, reach for a few SRM stickers to help you tell it, just like I did with this summer baseball layout!

Water Balloon Kit by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here with you today to share a fun summer gift. Today I'm using some SRM stickers and a pillow box to create a water balloon kit. 

For the container I used a Large Clear Pillow Box. This size will hold a full package of water balloons and one of the nozzles that you can use to fill water balloons. 

 I used a combination of the Live Life Calendar Year and We've Got Your Border Bright stickers to decorate the container and make it bright and summery. 

In our house summer means water balloon games so these kits will make a fun surprise for my kids...but I also think they'd make a great little gift for the kid at heart. 

Thanks for joining me today!

May/June Planner Spread by Christine

Anybody else feel like summer requires even more planning than the rest of the year? Christine joining you today to show how I am getting summer ready with my planner and some handy supplies from SRM Stickers!

If you are like me, you love both stickers and stamps for your planner and SRM has you covered all around!

Since it was a week that overlapped both May and June I added some Mini Calendar 2017/Decorative stickers so I could better keep track of my dates. I also pulled out my Notes to Self Planner stamp set and did some stamping in there.

I love the Freestyle/Summer sticker set and try to use each different set each season (yes! There's one for each season!)  My Black Le Pen is seriously one of my all time faves in my supplies.  May it never run out of ink or get lost, I may cry ;)!

You can use this awesome little Wafer Die to cut out these calendars or trim carefully with your scissors.  How are you decorating your planner these days?  Jump on all these fun summer stickers and stamps to make your planning time both fun and creative!

Spring Shaker Cards by Christine

Spring is in full swing and Summer isn't far off!  Christine joining you today with some cards that can work perfectly for Spring or Summer depending on what you need!  I love that the stickers from SRM Stickers are clear and using them on a Shaker Card can really highlight just how awesome they are!

Using clear Keepsake Envelopes from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L helped make this job a little easier.  I simply slid my patterned paper into it and added some sequins.

Topped the whole thing with a spring sentiment from the Sentiment/Spring sticker set and there you have it! A quick, whimsical card sure to make anyone smile.

And if pineapples aren't your thing, how about flamingos?  Same process for this card but a different look with a different paper and sticker.

The circle stickers have long been a favorite in my stash!  This one also comes from the Sentiment/Spring set.  Now if you are thinking, I don't have time to get a spring card done, you can easily swap out the spring stickers for these: Sentiment/Summer and have it work just as well!

Party Animal Vinyl Personalized TUBES by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here with a wonderful way to personalize your SRM Tubes! 

Summer is on the horizon and that is something to celebrate! I have a super fun end of the school year favor for all of your party animals! Adding vinyl to a 4" TUBE is such a great way to personalize any idea you may have. How could I resist these little gold animals to top off my TUBE?!! I just knew animal crackers were the perfect little treat for a wild summer going away gift!

I added the vinyl first, then filled the TUBE with animal crackers...minimal snacking occurred, so I had plenty to fill them all up! :)

A bit of twine in two colors was used to tie on the little tags that came with the golden wild animals, and a cut section of border on each lid and tag finished them up! 

I know some of you are excited about summer, and some of you may be counting the days until school will start again before it's even out, either way I hope you make it a wild summer to remember!

Oh Happy Day! by Amber

Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I have a fun Summer themed card and gift bag to share

. Summer is officially here in Arizona. I have enjoyed the warmer weather these last few weeks but this weeks forecast is hot and I mean really HOT. For those of you still experiencing a cooler forecast this week or even snow I hope my little card warms you up.

I started with A2 sized light pink card base and die cut a slightly smaller piece of colorful patterned paper with a pierced rectangle die for my background. I adhered the patterned paper to my pink cardbase and moved on to stamping. I stamped one of the adorable little penguins fonto some watercolored paper that I die cut with a smaller pierced rectangle die and watercolored him with some watercolor pencils.

Once I had my penguin image and background watercolored I let it dry before adding one of the "Oh, Happy Day!" sentiment stickers from the Stickers By The Dozen/Birthday Birdie sticker sheet below my image. 

The last few projects I have shared have featured a matching gift bag or box so today I thought I would create one to go along with my card as well. I filled one of the 4.75" x 6.75" Embossed Chevron Glassine Bags with some candy and then folded the top of the bag over and decorated the outside to match my card. I added two little banners to my gift bag with a mini black close pin and added a little "Many Thanks" sentiment sticker to a scalloped circle I die cut out of white cardsotck and watercolred. 

I hope you enjoyed my project. Thanks for visiting!

Crabby Days Summer Card by Shantie

Hi again, Shantaie here with a crabby but cute summertime shaped card.

I cut this adorable crab with my Silhouette and added a bit of olive ink to his edges and used the bistro chalk marker to add a few crustacean-esque spots and highlights. He is way too adorable!!

Two hands in the air for lazy days of summer! This guy is pretty excited about his sign, made from a white banner and the August monthly memories sticker. How can you not smile when you see this crabby!!!

Have a fun and maybe even a lazy summer day!

Hello Sunshine by Michele

Hello there! Michele here with a fun summertime card! I colored this sweet bear with my Polychromo pencils and sponged the edges with a light blue ink.

 I added some die cut clouds and a sun behind him.  

I added a sentiment from SRM's sentiment/spring collection. I wanted a bit of stitching at the bottom so I used SRM's Sticker Stitches in black.  I adhered a few sequins here and there for my finishing touch.

I hope I brought a bit of sunshine to your day today! :)

Sunny Smiles by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with a bright, cheerful, summer card!  I have been cleaning my craft room, which is a HUGE monumental task, and came across this background stamp.  I am not even sure who it is by.  I embossed it in white and colored it with my Zig markers.  

I layered a sunshine stencil over it and applied clear embossing paste.  I sprinkled a glittery embossing powder over it. 

I went back and added shadows to each of the sun's rays with a gray Zig marker.   

I die cut the "sun" and water colored each in pink and yellow.  I added an SRM Summer Sentiment to the center.  I added some dots around the sun with a white gel pen and adhered a few sequins. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

It's Summertime! by Michele

Wooohoo! It is officially the start of summer!  There is nothing I love better than my pool, heat, and a good book to read....and of course a hippo drinking lemonade at the beach! ;)

I colored this gal in using my Polychromo pencils.  I inked the edges of the card in a soft blue and yellow.  I then glued real sand using glossy accents.   

 I used SRM's Sentiment-Summer to finish off the card....along with a bit of pink twine and sequins.

So glad you stopped by and I hope I brought a smile to your face!

Michele
