Share the Love by Jenn

Hi ya friends, Jenn here! I am going to give you a few fun ideas for your childrens Valentines day cards. These are really quick easy ideas you can whip up and they will look super adorable. Everyone loves the handmade touch! These fun Valentines are a sure way to light up little faces...so lets get started!

Card idea #1: This card I stared with a piece of white cardstock cut to 3.5 inches by 5. I then cut two 1inch slits at the bottom so once completed you can weave the sucker stick between the slits. I simply handlettered a few words and used some adorable stickers from the Stickers by the Dozen set.

Card idea #2: Using a fun colored cardstock I hand drew a simple butterfly wing shape and cut it out. Then I added some fun stickers and a little Valentines message. I cut two slits in the center of the wing shape in order to slide my sucker in. 

Card idea #3: I cut a 3 inch circle out of cardstock paper and punched holes at the bottom and top to slide the sucker stick through. I added a little Valentine sentiment and a couple cute stickers. 

I really love how these turned out and had so much fun making them. My kids loved watching and helping me add the stickers and sliding the suckers into place. This would be such a fun activity to do with your kids. When it comes time to hand out these handmade cards they will be beaming with pride and those sweet ones who receive them will be thrilled! Enjoy your Valentines holiday with those you love. See you next time!

Mixed Media Tags by Tobi

Hello!  Tobi here today.  I love to play with lots of different mediums and styles - it keeps this hobby of mine (which I have done for over 11 years now) fresh, new, and interesting. 

Today I am sharing some tags made with extra paint from a painting project. 

I have recently started experimenting with Acrylic Pouring and the paint that drips off the side of the canvas is just too gorgeous to throw away!!! 

Here's my painting: 

And here's the pool of paint that ran off the side. I simply dragged some tags through the paint and I had some lovely backgrounds ready to go! 

Some simple, yet striking die cuts paired with a versatile SRM sticker sentiment was all it took to dress these tags up. 

I love how a clear sticker adds just the right touch!

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. 

Bible Journaling Tags by Karen

Tags are a great addition to your Bible Journaling and one more way to incorporate your creative side into your devotion and prayer time. You can use tags as "tip-ins" directly in your Bible, add them to your Faith Planner, use them as a card base, or as a bookmark, and so much more. Today I'm sharing a layered and stamped tag design in 3 color versions.

Each tag is made with the same base and stamped sentiment. I cut the 2-layered tag using my die cut machine. The star cut-out on the top layer really said "Christmas Star" to me. Each top layer was cut in white cardstock. I used waterproof ink (I used StazOn) to stamp the sentiment. To make stamping easy, I arrange the individual words directly on my large acrylic block so I can stamp it all at once. Each of these individually cut clear stamps is found on the "God is Love" faith stamp set. 

After stamping, I used multiple ColorIn watercolor pencils to get the two blended color backgrounds (yellow-orange-red and lt blue-dk blue-purple). I cut the back layer in a coordinating cardstock. For the white tag, I only added a bit of inking around the edge of the tag and then glitter around the star. As a finishing touch on each I used a coordinating LePen marker in fine tip and added a dotted line to follow the flourished top and bottom edges.

For my Bible Journaling Tags project I used:

Share Joy Tags by Shannon

Shannon here with another tag set sure to help you get in the spirit to spread joy this season!

Handmade tags are such an easy way to convey love, in this crazy world, it's so hard to get wrapped up in ourselves. Taking a few minutes to make something for someone else is actually a gift to them...and to you. You took time to give to someone else and put them first. You in turn, took time for you, to slow down and work on something that brings you happiness. 

Make sure you do that this time of year. Slow down and enjoy. Find happy in each day!

'Tis the Season Tags by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here!

Hope all is well?!...Today, I'm sharing a set of simple and fun Christmas tags with you! 

With Christmas being right around the corner, I think we all could use some tags for our gifts, right?! ;) 

I kept my tags very simple. I stamped on a cute little snowman image in black ink, then did a little coloring with colored pencils. After I added a mini clothespin, along with some red jute twine and my sticker sentiment piece (which for my sticker piece, I added my sticker on white cardstock and then did some simple cutting with it). Easy peasy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Be Merry Tags by Shannon

Are you looking for festive gift tag ideas? Shannon here to share some gift worthy tags with you using SRM! 

There are so many ways to create tags, the possibilities really are endless. I created these tags with traditional gift wrap in mind. You can always use tags too...last minute gifts that pop up, tags are great for wrapping around a hostess gift or a teacher gift...or for that oddly shaped gift we always seem to have that is hard to wrap! 

I took a picture of each tag for you so you could see that even though some of the designs are the same, they all turn out to be uniquely their own tag. Handmade really is bestmade. ♥

You'll find a bunch of SRM Products tucked here and there on these tags!

Thanks for looking! 

Hope I have inspired you to create some tags for your friends and family also!

Masculine Christmas Tags by Samantha

Merry (almost) Christmas. Samantha here with you today. I was in need of some masculine Christmas tags for my gifts this year, and I knew SRM would be up to the task. 

I created tags from white card stock. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the tree and ornament shapes from the tags, but you could just as easily use a steel die or punch to get the same effect. 

I chose more monotone colors for my patterned paper and stuck with mostly black and few green stickers to keep a more masculine feel. I used stickers from We've Got Your Stickers Merry, Stickers By The Dozen Christmas, and We've Got Your Stickers Plus Chirstmas.  

I used some simple black twine to finish up the tags. I think these masculine Christmas tags will be the perfect finishing touches for my gifts this year!

White Lace Doilies (4" round)

Jane's Doodles: Tis The Season!

I found these cute wood tags and adhered a White Lace Doilies (4" round) to it.  Trim the extra lace around the tag.

Next I stamped the images from Jane's Doodles: Tis The Season! on a scrap piece of card-stock.  

Color, trim and set aside.

Got to have some fun snow on this cute ornament.

You can buy this at any craft store in the Christmas section. 

Time to piece it all together.

Choose your favorite SRM Stickers and adhere to the ornament.

The stickers stick perfectly.. make sure and trim around the ornament.

Using foam adhesives pop those fun colored images.

I used May Arts burlap string for hanging the ornaments and you are done.

Simple and Sweet.

Snowflakes in the Air by Shannon

Olden times and ancient rhymes

Of love and dreams to share...♫♪♩

Hello!  Shannon here to let you know it's quickly approaching! I'm not beating down the door to Christmas and the holiday season, but I'm just standing outside pacing. 

94 days....do you have a sense of wonder? Or a sense of panic? 

I'm here today to make your life a little easier. All you need is some cardstock (or pre-made tags), twine, stamps, mist, glitter glue, markers and some ingenuity. 

I used one sheet of white card stock to create these tags. I used a file and my cutting system to get an easy 20 tags out of the 12X12 sheet. Another easy way to get 20 tags? Buy some pre made ones. 

Using Jane's Doodles stamps from SRM (I used stamps you can purchase here: "Warm Wishes") 

I stamped on each tag. If you notice, I did not stamp them perfectly at all. They are all off center. This is perfect for people who aren't stamping gurus. I am among that category. I love stamps, I just get easily intimidated. 

Once you get them all stamped and they are nice and dry, you can begin coloring. That is always the fun part! After they're colored...you can use some mist and spatter it all over the tag, or if you aren't into that..skip it! You can also add the glitter glue at this time...this is also optional. 

Once everything is good and dry, add your twine. I simply threaded the twine through and tied a bow. You can either add another piece of twine to tie on a bag or gift...oooorr you can add a glue dot to the back and stick it right to a package!

I shared each set of 5 because I wanted to share all the fun little details.  And here's the products I used to create these fun little tags:

SRM Clear Stamps Warm Wishes

Solid Maraschino Twine

Baker's Twine/Ocean

Solid Caribbean Twine

Baker's Twine Gunmetal Shimmer

Thanks for dropping by.  Time to get started on your Christmas crafty projects?  I'm off to do more of mine! :)

Annette Allen here with you today.

Today I am playing with SRM Stickers:

Canvas Tags: Natural

Sticker Sentiment: Shine Your Light 

Lace 4x10 Ecru

Jane's Doodles: Fancy Doodles stamp set

I'm loving the new lace from SRM and the Ecru 4" was perfect for this project.  I used some Mod Podge to adhere the lace to the canvas tag.  It drys clear so it worked out perfectly.

I love these new flower images from Jane's Doodles: Fancy Doodles. These flowers are so pretty!  

I added a sentiment from Sticker Sentiment: Shine Your Light. 

Lastly I added a little bling. Simple and Sweet.

I can think of a million things to do with these tags, can't you?

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting.
