Thank You Tubes by Angie

Hello SRM friends!! Angie with you today!!

I have a cute idea using SRM's clear tubes.

I used the clear tubes and filled them with wildflower seeds which would make adorable thank you gifts for a garden themed party!! 

I used several SRM stickers to embellish the tubes with and then attached the scalloped circles with twine. They were so quick and easy to make but they turned out so cute!

I hope you give these thank you gifts a try for your next party!

Happy Birthday by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm swinging in to share a fun and simple birthday card with you! 

I started with my cupcakes. Which I simply added my cupcake stickers to a piece of white cardstock and then did come cutting with them. Easy, right?!...Next, I added I piece of foam tape on the back of them and then layered them onto my card base. 

To finish things off, I added a happy birthday sentiment banner using a sticker sentiment and then making a banner out of my cardstock. Then added some twine and sequins. Fun, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Happily Ever After by Jenn

Hi friends Jenn here! Love is in the air and wedding bells are chiming so what better time to create a beautiful card dedicated to love.

To begin I cut down a piece of white cardstock sized 8 1/2 by 11 down in half and folded it in half to create a card about the size of 5 1/2 by 4 1/25. My inspiration for this card came from dolies and polka dots. I had this cute black and white polka dot scrapbook paper in my stash, so I cut it down to become my card front. I also pulled an accent turquoise paper to create a focal point and fun pop to the card. I attached the dollie so it hung off the front, then trimmed it and added the leftover to the top to balance the card. I used some pop up tape to attach a large chalkboard label and added a few white sentiments from the Forever sticker sheet. Finally to pull the page together I used a few enamel hearts in white and turquoise.

I love gifting handmade cards, they feel so much more personal and heartfelt. I hope my little post inspires you to pull out your dollies and stickers to create beautiful works of heArt.

Bags & Bookmarks by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here again and today I have for you an idea for an handmade gift and how to package it.  I love to create handmade bookmarks to give away to friends and family, they are easy to make, cute and always put a smile on who receive them! I used a bookmark template to trace the bookmark shape on heavy white cardstock, then I created a panel with patterned paper. I added SRM Stickers and a sequin, then I laminated the bookmarks with my laminate machine to make them more resistant, I added twine and a charm to decorate.  If you want to see the tutorial on how to make them, you find it here on my blog.

To package them I used SRM bags: they come in many different type (patterned, glassine, kraft, embossed...), sizes and colors, so you can always find the one that suits for your needs!

I chose kraft bags: I closed them with a SRM paper doily and I added a banner made with patterned paper, a butterfly and a sticker. Then I used SRM stitched Stickers to decorate.

I am in love with these bags: they are perfect for packing little gifts!

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Happy Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here.

Today I am here to show you a layout with watercolored, stamped and machine stitched background.  This is me and hubby on our 25th April traditional picnic with friends. To create the background I created a watercolor splatter on white cardstock and then I stamped faux stitching with BIG HAPPY clear stamp . I machine stitched over the stamps to add texture; I love to leave long thread to add extra fun to the project.

I used BIG Happy also to create part of the title.

I stamped it on a cardstock and fussy cut it.  I cut many tiny designs from different SRM Stickers (hearts, butterflies, flowers) and I used them to decorate the background.

I hope you liked my layout and wish you a good day. 

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Party Bags by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing some fun and easy party bags with you.

I started by choosing some glassine patterned bags. After, I assembled some die cut boxes together and then added some fun sticker pieces inside. Which for each sticker piece I added them on a piece of cardstock and then did some fussy cutting. Once done, I added each party box to my bags. So easy, right?!...

As you can see, I left my bags empty. But you can fill these bags with anything you'd like! Candies, party favors, etc...endless possibilities. ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Planner Packing List by Jennifer

Hey all! Jenn here, with a fun packing list page inspiration for you all. I am very soon leaving for a fun retreat and thought this would be the perfect way to prepare and ensure *fingers crossed* that I don't forget anything.

To begin I used my Erin Condren life planner. If you are familiar with these planners prior to the full calendar spread is a blank page that I use for important events or trips happening in the month. In the past I have used the pages to plan birthday parties, Christmas gift list ideas and as a place to make packing lists. I started decorating the pages with a few of the amazing stickers from the SRM shop. For the four circles at the top I used them as areas to keep track of my must dos, carry on items, things to buy and things I don't want to forget. I used the Everyday planner stamp set icons and words with a simple black ink pad. The main body of the page I used as a giant packing list. I finished off by using a few of the words from the Daily Devotion stamp set, and a couple more stickers. This will be a great place for me to reference as I pack my bags for my retreat.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my post, I hope this gives you some ideas for how to use you SRM stickers, planner stamps and those blank pages in your planner.

"Faux" Project Life Cards by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here and today I want to share with you an idea on how to use Project Life cards if you are not into Project Life.  I'm calling them "faux" Project Life cards!   
I was so lucky to win a set of Project Life cards, but I don't like to do it, so I thought of using them in my cards! 
I created a panel with them and added embellishments; as sentiment I used SRM Stickers.

Here it is the first card:

And here it is the second one: in this one I also added a sweet SRM ladybug sticker as embellishment.

Both my cards are springy and feminine and they could also be meant as a card set: you can put them in a SRM Stickers bag, or box and give them away to a friend as a little gift.

I hope to have given you an idea!
Until next time,
ciao, Giorgia.

Let Love Grow by Jenn

Hi friends, Jenn here! Wedding season is almost upon on us. I thought this would be a great time to show a quick favor idea if you or someone you know plans to tie the knot this summer. These are really simple favors, that are not only sweet but practical.

I used the small bags and used twine and jute to decorate the bag. Next I made a tag with directions on how to "use" these favors. I chose to fill the bags with wildflower seeds so guest could watch love bloom and remember the happy couple. I also think a sweet alternative could be vegetable seeds, and or perhaps the specific wedding flowers so guests can plant their own.

I simply attached the round labels onto white cardstock and cut around them, added a few stickers and lettering and attached them onto the bags with twine and jute. These bags would be so fun to customize to ones wedding colors and decor themes. For these three examples I chose to go simple and elegant with black and white.

I hope this idea sparks some inspiration for your wedding or even backyard get together...why not pass out sweet little bags of seeds at any party.

Bridal Shower Card by Melanie

Hello! Melanie here today to share a card for a Bridal Shower. One of my co-workers is getting married in July and her shower is in a few weeks.

I found out the colors for her wedding and used them to put the card together. The Mini-Calendar stickers are a fun way to mark the date of a special event. I placed a heart sticker from the We've Got Your Sticker/Forever sheet over the date of her wedding. Then I added a couple of the sentiments along the edge.

To add some extra detail to the card, I placed a variety of black sticker stitches along edges of the paper layers. Sticker Stitches are my most used SRM stickers! Love them!

The "2018"from Year of Memories Sticker/2018 helps define the year of the event. I can’t wait to tuck this card into my friend’s gift basket at her shower. I know it will bring a smile to her face :)

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!!
