Chicken Wire Notice Board by Cathy A.

Hello!  Cathy here with a fun project that I've had in my head for some time.  It's a chicken wire wall hanging bulletin board, created from a photo frame with the glass and backing removed and chicken wire stapled to the back.  And lots of SRM Stickers!

Here's a list of materials I used:
 SRM Punched Pieces small teal and baby blue, Sticker Stitches Halloween, We've Got Your Sticker Hello, Say it with Stickers Triathlon, Express Yourself School, Year of Memories 2015, Mini Calendar 2015 standard, Kraft bags embossed, other Memento Luxe inks in Rich Cocoa and Bahama Blue, chicken wire, photo frame, twine, mini clothes pins and card stock.  

I inked the little pegs with memento luxe ink and when dry added Sticker stitches, love how these turned out!

A kraft embossed bag was trimmed down and reshaped to create a pocket for all the other month cards, and a little create sentiment added to card.

Some of the pegs were glued to the back of card and punched pieces and then stickers added to the front to add interest.

I love my new bulletin board!  And love how all my SRM Stickers made this project so much fun!

Celebrate 2015 Mixed Media Card by Tessa

Hello!  It's Tessa sharing with you today!  I've created a card perfect for ringing in the new year!

I created a bright and messy mixed media background for this one-mixing stamps from Simon Says Stamps and Tim Holtz for a fun look.  I stamped the balloons first, in bold pinks, yellows, and turquoise inks.  Next, I pulled out some paints and dabbed them on to a craft mat.  I sprayed it with water and dragged my card front through it.  It softened the balloons and gave the card a fun, messy look.  I added some splatters with a few different mists and let it all dry. 

When it was dry, I stamped some stars with a silver metallic ink and the clock with a waterproof black ink.  I also added some shading around the clock with a light gray marker.  I pulled out some washi tape next and added a few strips to the bottom portion of the card front.

I cut a strip of vellum and wrapped it around my card, adhering the ends together inside with a bit of washi tape.  I adhered the 2015 strip from the Year of Memories 2015 sheet first, lining up the bottom edge of the sticker with the edge of the vellum.  The sentiment from Sticker Sentiments Congratulations came next.  I lined it up just above the 2015 strip.

To finish this card off, I wrapped some Solid Lilac Baker's Twine around the card and finished in a bow.  I added a sprinkling of sequins, too!  You gotta have a little sparkle on New Years, right? :)

Thanks for joining me today!  And here's to a wonderful new year!

Happy 2015 Card by Lorena

Hi SRM friends! Lorena here today. By now you've probably sent all your Christmas cards, but wait! There's still some time left to wish your beloved ones a Happy New Year and SRM has some awesome stickers to do that in style.

Here's a Happy 2015 card to get you started. I went for a bright color combo of gold, lime green and turquoise, because there's nothing better than starting a new year with happy colors. 

I combined a patterned paper background with one of the cute year banners in the Year of Memories 2015 sticker.

 I turned the sticker into a flag by adhering it to a piece of toothpick. This sticker sheet is simply fantastic. You'll find "2015" in lots and lots of different fonts and designs, which makes it perfect not only for cards, but for calendars and scrapbooking too. Great value, I tell you!

The "happy" comes from Stickers by the Dozen/Birthday Birdie. Every SRM sheet comes so jam packed with stickers that I don't feeel bad when I cut just part of one to make my custom sentiment. To add a festive "new year" touch I threw in some glittery gold embellishments and three tiny die cut stars.

I wish all the SRM fans a very happy 2015 filled with lots of love, joy, laughter, good health and all things crafty. Thanks for visiting!

Calendar Home Decor by Shery

Hello! Shery Russ here to share a project featuring the fun Decorative Mini Calendar Stickers. I recycled some wood and created functional home decor: a key hook rack. It's great not just for keeping keys, but for storing or organizing craft supplies that come in hang hole cello bags and even ribbons and twine.

This hook rack is 12" wide, 3" tall, and 3/4" thick. I sanded it first before decoupaging K & Company designer paper with Liquitex gel medium. I colored the edges with Prismacolor markers then sealed it with Minwax water based polyurethane. When it was dry, I added the hooks and chain (bought from The Home Depot), as well as adhered craft foam to the back.

Next, I adhered SRM's Decorative 2015 Mini Calendar Stickers on textured cardstock and trimmed. I found several packs of 3" by 4" top loaders (for protecting trading cards) in my stash and I thought they'd be perfect for holding the calendars so I cut two of those down to size and glued them to either side. I adhered a couple of '15 stickers from the Year of Memories 2015 onto those as well. I decorated the middle of the hook rack with some Black Sticker Stitches and one of the sentiments in the Express Yourself Everyday sheet. And it's done!

Here are the stickers I used in my project.  

Mini calendar stickers from SRM Stickers are so fun to use! Hope my project has inspired you to create something with these cool stickers. 2015 is just around the corner :o)

Framed Mini Calendar by Roberta

Calendars make the most wonderful gifts and today we have a calendar created by Roberta Rosi that is reusable and can be used year after year as a wall calendar.  All you have to do is replace the month and the year with SRM's Mini Calendar stickers! 

As a base, Roberta used a square canvas about measuring about 8" x 8".  She covered the back with some white cardboard.

Roberta then covered a white cardboard square with a variety of solid Twinery twine colors creating a rainbow.  

She then glued it to the center of the canvas.

On the twine covered cardboard, Roberta flied a small wooden clothespin to attach the months.  She put the months on white cardstock to make them rigid. 

Roberta then decorated the canvas with the days of the week and some small wooden circles.  On one of them she placed a '15 sticker from SRM's 2015 Year of Memories.

The months of the year will are easily replaced month to month. 

The base of the calendar can be used year to year.  

What a great gift idea!  Thanks Roberta for this fabulous calendar.  You've inspired us!
