Welcome New Design Team Member - Tessa Buys

Exciting news!  Today we welcome Tessa Buys back to the SRM Design Team  
with a beautiful layout featuring her beautiful baby girl! So happy to have you with us Tessa.  And now for Tessa's post in her own words...

Hello! Tessa here and it feels so good to be back at SRM Stickers, a place near and dear to my paper-crafting heart. Speaking of heart, it's that time of year, and I have been busy with my Valentine's Day stickers. Using the We've Got Your Border/Valentine sheet, I created this layout about my baby girl:

By trimming my patterned paper into sections, I was able to use three different border stickers on one layout. I distressed the edges of the patterned paper so that the stickers seem to "peek" out.

While not exactly a Valentine's Day layout, it is all about how much I love (and love dressing up) this baby girl. See? Holiday stickers are right at home on everyday-type pages, too!

Again, I'm excited to be here and I'm so grateful for the opportunity! Thanks for visiting today!

My Girl Mixed Media Layout by Shery

Hello there! Shery Russ here to share a mixed media layout. I had a blast putting together this layout and using some fantastic SRM Stickers: We've Got Your Border: Baby Girl, Express Yourself: Everyday Girl, and Fancy Stickers Sentiments Baby. I also used a couple of the 4" round white lace doilies.

If there's one thing I love more than my writing and art, it's my niece, Alexa, whom I've referred to as The Adorable One since I held her in my arms when she was 5 days old. She's the daughter of my youngest sister and I love them both to pieces. I consider her my girl :o). She'll be turning 3 in a couple of months, but for my layout, I printed a photo of her that was taken when she was 5 months old.

To create this mixed media layout, I started with an 8.5" by 11" cold-press watercolor paper. I applied Liquitex modeling paste onto stencils (Hero Arts, The Crafter's Workshop, and Plaid) .

When the modeling paste was dry, I watercolored some areas using Distress inks, Twinkling H2Os, and Inktense Blocks.

Next, I did some stamping on the page. I used stamps I'd designed and drawn for STAMPlorations and stamped them with jet black archival ink.

I then layered some designer paper and 4" round white lace doilies. I distressed the edges of the papers then applied VersaMagic chalk ink on the edges.

I added mulberry paper flowers and for their centers, I used some of the plastic resin flowers I made last year. I gave the page a watercolor wash with Twinkling H20s. Then came the fun part: adding the SRM Stickers to decorate my page. These stickers are so wonderful to use because they're transparent -- they blend easily onto the page! I finished my mixed media layout by adding red and blue spatters.

Here's a close up of the photo cluster. 

Thanks so much for letting me share my project. I hope I've inspired you to use those fabulous SRM Stickers in your stash to create a mixed media layout!  How many SRM Stickers do you count?  

Bundle of Joy Card by Laurel

Laurel Seabrook's daughter is expecting a baby girl in September and Laurel decided to make a darling onesie.  Not a real onesie, but a die cut card.  Adorable! 

Here's how Laurel made her darling card.

1.  Cut 2 files from plain cardstock to create the base.  

2.  Adhere them together along one side.  Laurel adhered hers along the shoulders.  

3.  Then she created the card front using SRM's We've Got Your Border Baby Girl design and Take 2: Stickers by the Dozen Baby to create the "stripes".  

4.  Then she embellished it with some Buttercream Twinery Twine.  YUM! 

Not that's simply too cute!

Baby Pillow Boxes by Roberta

If you are giving a baby shower, Roberta Rosi has created the perfect party favor.  Super simple to make and super sweet!  Roberta used the small clear Pillow Box for this project and the Baby Boy and Baby Girl Quick Cards.  She topped off her project with a white ribbon.  You could make lots of these little beauties in no time flat! :) Just fill them with some sweet candies and you are good to go!

Roberta decorated the outside of this box with a Baby Boy Quick Card. 

And she has two other pieces left over that she can use on an invitation or thank you note.

She created the same little treat box using the Baby Girl Quick Card.  She mounted the clear sticker on a sweet scalloped square.  

What a perfect pair!  Super simple to create and super cute! 

Thanks for the inspiration Roberta.   Your "twin" pillow boxes are adorable!  Be sure to join us next week when our design team will dazzle you with more projects using SRM Stickers.
