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.

Love is in the Air by Angie

Hello SRM fans! Angie here with you today!

Can you believe that it's May already? Wedding season is definitely upon us. 

Today I'm sharing a card with you that would be perfect for to give for a wedding or wedding shower!

I used the 'Just Believe' stamp set to create the flowers that are on the left side of the word love. The word love is from the 'Big Love' stamp set. I just stamped both of them using black ink on white cardstock and then fussy cut them out.

I used a floral sticker on the bottom circle which is  from the Forever sticker set.

This was a very simple card to make but I think its classy and elegant. 

Thanks for stopping by the SRM blog today!

Love is card by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today, I'm sharing a sweet and simple love card with you.

I started with my background panel, which instead of leaving it plain, I used a floral embossing folder with it. (I apologize that my photo did not capture the embossing.) After, I added some white lace at the bottom part of my embossed panel and then a strip of washi tape as well as my sticker sentiment. For both my washi tape and sticker sentiment I added them on a piece of white cardstock and then added foam tape on the backside. 

To finish my card off, I added my panel piece to a soft stone cardstock base and then added a wood button and some twine. Simple, yeah?!...

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 :)

Modern Wedding Favors with Heat Transfer Vinyl by Emma

Greetings, fellow crafty people!  Emma here today to share an awesome idea for wedding favors with a twist, of course using SRM supplies.

When my husband and I got married 14 years ago, Pinterest didn't exist (I know, the horror!)  So, this kind of inspiration for cool and modern wedding accessories only appeared in expensive bridal magazines.  At the time, although I longed to create something like that on the glossy pages, it seemed very out of reach.  Well, not any more!

SRM stocks these amazing fabric bags, which are perfect for all kinds of embellishments.  For this project, I'm using a cool metallic orange heat transfer vinyl.  

My wedding favors are going to contain tea bags, as I thought it was a fun theme.  I cut the vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo machine and applied it to the fabric bag.  The font I used was called 'Sign Painter', and the swirls were available in the Silhouette Design Space software.  (Remember to flip your design to a mirror image before cutting!  Otherwise the letters will be back-to-front when you apply the design..)

So, of course my wedding was a while ago now, but maybe one day I'll get to use some of these crafty ideas for one of our children's weddings.  It's certainly fun to create things and share them with you!

Happy crafting!

~~ Emma ~~

Life is Pure Adventure Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here and today I am sharing a layout with you.
 I love making layouts.  It is my favorite way to preserve memories.

I scrapped this picture of my hubby in front of a mural.  The picture had great colors and I matched them with papers and SRM stickers. I adhered some of them on white cardstock and then fussy cut them, to make them pop from the background. Use foam tape to adhere to give an extra pop! 

 I adhered one sticker directly on the picture: I love the subtle transparency of SRM stickers!

One of my favorite SRM products are We've got your border stickers. I added a lot of them! 

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Wedding Card by Melanie

Hello!  It's Melanie and I'm so happy to be here with you today and share a card that brings a smile to my face :)   One of my teacher-friends is getting married this summer and before school is out we are holding a bridal shower for her. Her colors are navy, aqua, and gold so when I saw this peacock paper I knew it was meant for her card!

 I had some handmade cream paper and used it to mat the peacock paper and the "LOVE" circular sticker. To add a little dimension, I did a 1/2 twist of the ribbon before securing the edges behind the mat.

 With the clear backing, SRM stickers seamlessly adhere to all kinds of papers, even the textured base of this card. 

For a finishing touch, I placed the square dove sticker on the back of the envelope flap. Looking forward to celebrating with her!

Happily Ever After Wedding Card

Hello. Samantha here today! Wedding season is upon us, so today I wanted to share a happily ever after wedding card. It's a mix of stamps and stickers, and is a lot of fun to make. 

Here's what you'll need for this card: 

Heaven and Earth Stamp Set
Love Sentiment Stickers
Color In Watercolor Pencils
Light Blue Jute Twine
Gold Calligraphy Paint Pen
Card Stock
Feather Embellishment
White Ink

I created the background of the card by stamping the arrow from Heaven & Earth multiple times on grey card stock in white ink. I used watercolor pencils and the gold calligraphy pen to color in the arrows. If you haven't tried using your watercolor pencils on dark card stock, I encourage you to give it try. You'll love the results you get and it will have you looking at your stamps in all new ways.

I finished up my card with a little cluster of embellishments. I uses some die cut feathers, the "happily ever after!" sticker from Love Sentiments, and a bit of jute twine.

This happily ever after wedding card can be easily altered to fit the colors of any wedding you're attending to add that extra personal touch. How many weddings will you be attending this summer?

 

Wedding Box by Melanie

Spring is in the air . . . and so are weddings! In fact, I have one coming up later this month. My nephew is getting married and we are so excited for him and bride-to-be!  Melanie here to share something special I made.

With this in mind, I decorated one of SRM's adorable kraft boxes. The lace fits the width of the box perfectly and is a great way to dress it up. In addition to the lace, I added some specialty papers. Then I finished it off with amazing SRM stickers and stamps!

I love how the clear backing on SRM stickers allows them to look seamless on whatever background they are placed. It doesn't matter if it is a sentiment or border, they blend in perfectly. Also, using the border stickers from the Stickers by the Dozen Wedding set, the stickers were the perfect length to wrap two around the box.

The stamp "do everything in love" is from the Love One Another stamp set. I used a champagne colored ink to stamp it on the box for a barely-there but sparkly look. The box is topped off with a burlap tag and flower. 

This would be easy to replicate and make several for wedding favors, a small gift, or as part of table centerpieces at the festivities.

Lovely Lace Card by Tobi

Hello!  Tobi joining you today with a lovely lace wedding card. 

What is more elegant than lace? 

The word "lace" conjures so many words in my mind, 

most prominent of which are: 

love, wedding, sexy, delicate, sophisticated and classic. 

This card embodies all of those words:

I paired black lace with a white doily, and built my card around that. A monotone color scheme keeps this card classic and timeless, and the SRM stickers pair beautifully with all of the other elements. 

Supplies: 

Black Lace

White Lace Doily 4"

Mr. & Mrs. Congrats Card by Amber

Hello everyone! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this Congratulations card I created with SRM's Wedding Plans Clear Planner Stamp, Child of God Clear Stamp, and Quick Cards/Congrats sticker sheet. 

Weddings are always a happy event so instead of using the traditional all white and pastel color combo I used a bunch of bright bold colors. I had lots of fun creating this card. Below I have a quick tutorial on how to recreate the pink canvas flower I created for my card front.

Step 1. Cut a circle out of some white canvas or fabric.

Step 2. Cutting from the outside in cut your canvas circle into a spiral. Your spiral does not have to be cut perfectly. 

Step 3. Working from the outside in start to roll your canvas into a flower. In the beginning start with a tight roll, as you continue to roll your canvas into a flower loosen up the roll a bit. The tighter you roll your canvas the smaller your flower will be and the looser you roll your canvas the larger your flower will be.

Step 4. This is what your flower will look like when you are finished rolling it. I add a little drop of hot glue to the bottom to hold my flower together.

 Before rolling your flower you can mist, paint, or distress your canvas or fabric. I misted my flower with some Tattered Angels Gerber Baseboard Mist and painted it with with some clear pink glitter paint. I also added three stamped leaves to the bottom of my flower. 

Once my flower was dry I added it to the bottom right of my stamped piece. For the stamped portion of my card I stamped a bunch of different words and images from the Wedding Plans Clear Planner Stamp and colored them with some Spectrum Noir Markers. I just lined all the words and images I wanted to use up on my stamp block and repeatedly stamped them onto some white cardstock. To finish my card I added a large Congrats sticker from the Quick Cards/Congrats sticker sheet and stamped three little hearts in black from the Child of God Clear Stamp set.

Love is…by Amber

Hello SRM Sticker fans! It's Amber here, today I have this lovely framed watercolor piece I created for a loved one to share. I had so much fun creating this piece. I used a wooden frame, watercolor paper, a large floral stamp, SRM Stickers By The Dozen/Wedding, and a few Marvy ColorIn Watercolor Twist Pencils to create this piece.

I started by stamping my large floral stamp onto some white watercolor paper and then started the watercoloring process. The Marvy ColorIn Watercolor Twist Pencils were super easy to use, just twist the pencil to feed the lead out and start coloring. I lightly colored my image and background with the twist pencils and then went over all the entire piece with a wet paint brush. The colors blend so nice and smooth, the more water you add the lighter the colors will be. If you want to achieve deep rich colors like I did keep layering and don't be afraid pull color right from the pencil itself. You can do this my wetting your paintbrush and touching your paintbrush directly to the lead.

Once my watercolored panel was dry I added one of the Love Is...sentiment stickers to some white cardstock, cut it, and adhered it to the bottom right of my piece. I added the entire piece to the inside of my wooden frame and then added some more stickers from the Stickers By The Dozen/Wedding sticker sheet around all four outside edges of my frame. Although this piece looks like it took a lot of time because of the watercoloring it really was quick and easy to create. I hope you enjoy.  Thanks for visiting!
