Christmas Layout by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today to share a special layout 

Christmas to document my family's special time together at this most wonderful time of year.   

I love to preserve our Christmas memories in our scrapbooks. This layout came together so quickly, which is a must in this busy season. 

Two patterned bags provide not just a fun background, but a convenient spot to slip in extra photos and my daughter's letter to Santa. 

Lots of layering of SRM's clear holiday stickers bring this layout to life.

For this project I used:

Patterned Bags | Stickers By the Dozen, Take 2 Christmas | We've Got Your Stickers Plus Christmas Tree | Stickers By the Dozen Christmas | Sticker Sentiments Happy Holidays | We've Got Your Sticker Merry | We've Got Your Border Christmas

Holiday Cheer by Michele

Michele Kovack is so glad she participated in the recent Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!   She used this cute little Coffee Plans stamp set from SRM Stickers!

For her card, she wanted to create a background using the coffee cup.  She stamped it in a brown ink and used Prisma Colored pencils.  Then added a sentiment from the Stickers by the Dozen collection across the front.  She tucked a red die cut leaf behind it.  (After the leaf had been given a coating of glossy accents and glitter!)

Michele added a bit of rustic twine tied into a bow.  She scattered several gems and stars to the front. 

Michele rounded the back panel's edges on two sides and adhered the entire front to a kraft card.

Thank you all for stopping by!  We appreciate your visits!

Holiday Cheer by Michele

Good morning!  

Michele here! It is hard to believe that Christmas already here! 

I stamped this card and colored it with Copics. I added some fun details with a White Gel Reminisce Pen! I drew stripes on the present and cute polka dots on the little girl's dress. 

This card would be fun to give to anyone during the holiday season.  There's 

still time to create it! :).

I added a bit of glitter too for some holiday sparkle!

I tied pink/white twine vertically with a couple of matching jingle bells.  As a final touch I adhered a sentiment from the Stickers by the Dozen/Gingerbread Man.  

Thank you for stopping by today!!  And have a very merry Christmas from all of us at SRM Stickers.  

Christmas in my Faith planner by Jennifer

Hello friends, Jenn here! Today I am sharing planner pages from my faith planner, which in case you are curious is the Happy Planner faith edition. I typically use my faith planner to write out scriptures, take sermon notes, podcasts notes, and a place to write prayers.

Decorating my pages makes them a little more inviting and a little less intimidating than a blank page.

To begin, I pulled out these adorable border stickers that remind me of washi and they all coordinate together...bonus! Next I used a couple clear stickers to make my pages feel a little more festive. Using the large Merry and Bright sentiment I stamped on the top and bottom of the coordinating pages in red and

green. A few extra bits of washi and my pages are finished. I mentioned earlier that I really enjoy having lots of space to journal, but if you prefer no or little white space stamp and sticker away SRM has tons of beautiful stickers and stamps to bring joy and color to your pages.

I hope this inspires you to pull out that planner and write down those prayers, scriptures and devotional times. Looking back over the weeks and months is such a great way to see how God is moving in our simple everyday lives. I pray you all have an incredibly blessed and joyful Christmas and I will see you back here on this blog in the New Year!

Supplies Used:
We've Got Your Border/Christmas,

Christmas Kraft Gift Bags by Giorgia

Hello from Susan!  We have so many wonderful Christmas ideas that I decided to double up on blog posts so we are doing 2 posts today.  The first one was a 12:01 AM and this one is at 12:01 PM!  Still plenty of time to create this fun idea from Giorgia Rossini! 


----------------

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here today with you to share a Christmas packaging that's perfect for last minute gift wrapping. I love to create handmade packaging and with SRM bags and stickers it is really quick and easy.  I love SRM kraft bags, they are so versatile and you can decorate them in so many different ways!

Here you can see my gifts: handmade bookmarks (with SRM Stickers!) - I will tell you soon in another post how to make them too, so stay tuned for it - and a mini candy cane. These are for my colleagues.I gathered all my SRM Christmas themed supplies and started having fun! 

I decided to use Stickers By The Dozen/Christmas. I wrapped the strips of stickers all around the bag creating a decoration. To close the bag I fold the top and add the round stickers. I decorated the stickers with a twine bow.

I created two similar bags: by changing the position and colors of stickers and twine here they are two cute bags. 

And you? How do you wrap your small Christmas presents? I would love to see it!
Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Quick Christmas Cards by Tobi

Hi there! It's Tobi Crawford here, and I'm all-in when it comes to Christmas! 

I usually make 40-50 cards for friends and family and I try to never duplicate a design (I get bored), so one trick I use is pairing SRM Sentiment Stickers with die cuts and patterned papers!! 

I think we all have dies and paper, and using stickers for your sentiment is a really quick and easy way to add the right sentiment for the right person! 

This sentiment was adhered to vellum because I wanted the background to peek through.

Christmas Computer Decal by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today with an idea to deck your halls...or more accurately your computer for Christmas with a Christmas computer decal. 

 It just might be the easiest decorating you do this season. All you need is some vinyl (I used SRM's metallic vinyl, silver and metallic gold) and a way to cut that vinyl (I used a Silhouette Cameo).

To be honest, I spend a lot of time on my laptop. I shop from my computer, edit photos, write blog posts, and the list goes on. Why not dress up my computer for the holidays, and give myself a reminder of what this season is really about?

  

The best part is that, because this is vinyl, when Christmas is over I can easily remove my Christmas computer decal and replace it with something else (I'm thinking, "Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly"). What would you put on your computer?

Last Minute Gifts! by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with a quick gift idea! I am a school teacher and I like to get all of my coworkers a little "somethin', somethin," without breaking the bank.  And immediately my mind goes to food.  Because who doesn't love food?  I have a basement piled high with alterable items, so I grabbed a bunch of these mini glass jars. 

I put two strips of double sided tape and sprinkled them with glitter.  I used my Silhouette to cut the bows and adhere them to the top of the jar.  I placed this cute gingerbread sticker from Stickers by the Dozen, on a piece of vellum and cut it out with a circle punch.  I tucked it under the bow, adhered it in place, and voila!  Easy peasy, lemon squeezie! (I have been teaching 9 year olds a very, very long time!)  

Thank you for stopping by!!

Stocking Stuffers with the Magic Wand Tubes by Christine

Hello from Susan!  We have so many wonderful Christmas ideas that I decided to double up on blog posts so we are doing 2 posts today.  The first one was a 12:01 AM and this one is at 12:01 PM!  Still plenty of time to create this amazing idea from Christine Meyer. 

----------------

Christine joining you today with a stocking stuffer idea that anyone, young or old, is sure to love!  I've been looking at the Magic Wand Tubes for awhile and longing to fill them with skittles or M & M's - Christmas seemed like the perfect time to do just that.  

These were super easy to put together with the help of some vinyl, punched pieces, and stickers by the dozen!  

I used red vinyl and silver vinyl cut into 1/4" strips and wrapped them around the tubes to mimic the look of candy canes. 

Punched Pieces in multiple sizes and colors took the lead in decorating.  I then topped them off with Christmas Stickers by the Dozen.  Here's a video walking you thru how I put these together!

Thanks for joining me today - have fun with your holiday crafting!

Wrap it Up by Jenn

Hello friends Jenn here! How's all the Christmas preparations going? If you are like me time has gotten away from you and before you knew it Christmas has become just days away. I am here today to share a few fun ways to wrap up gifts for the holidays.

Idea #1: 

To begin I wrapped my gift in kraft wrap, then used a white dolie and attached it to the corner using some adhesive. I thought a stamped to and from using the   stamp set would be a super cute rustic touch. To finish the packaging and pull a little color into the gift I used simple red jute twine. There you have it a super simple rustic gift wrap idea.

Idea #2: 

For this idea it works best to cut your kraft paper to the size of your gift prior to wrapping, so the stamped images are positioned in the right spot and it is obviously much easier to stamp flat. I used the large sentiments stamp Merry and Bright stamp set. Using a red and green ink I stamped the words Merry and Bright on a diagonal for a fun all over pattern. I love using these adorable to from tags on the   sticker page. I stuck the sticker to some leftover kraft paper and fussy cut around to create a tag. For the final finishing touch I used a little black and white bakers twine to pull it all together.

Idea #3 

The last idea I will leave you with today is a very sweet romantic packaging idea. I first wrapped my gift once again with kraft paper....if you haven't guess yet I love this stuff!! I attached some gorgeous 4inch lace around the top of the package and added a gold bow. Using the to from tags I once again stuck it to a scrap of kraft paper, fussy cut and punched to add a 3 dimensional tag.

 I love how eyes light up when they see beautifully decorated packages, it makes the gift inside just a little more meaningful. I hope this gives you a few more quick very simple ways to be creative in your gift giving this holiday season!

Supplies Used:

Doilies, Bakers Twine, Red Jute Twine, Merry and Bright Stamp set, Pray Journal Repeat Stamp set, 4" x 10" white lace, Labels by the Dozen Christmas Greetings

Joy Ornaments by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today I'm sharing some simple Christmas ornaments with you! I think these would be great special gift for someone, too! :)

I kept things very simple. I started with die cutting my snowflakes in three different sizes. For the smallest snowflake I used a silver glitter cardstock and the two bigger ones white cardstock. After, assembled them together. 

Once done, I added my SRM sticker to the center. In this case, joy. I only added my sticker to one side and left the backside showing on the silver glitter snowflake. After, I punched a hole at the top of my snowflake and added some jute twine. Simple, yeah?!...

Also, giving this special gift to someone, you can easily pop them into a patterned glassine bag! ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Happy National Christmas Card Making Day by Giorgia!

Did you know that today is National Christmas Card making day?

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here and today I want to share Clean & Simple style card I created for Christmas. 

This card is really simple to make, also by beginners: you only need cardstock, an embossing folder, washi tape and, of course, the amazing Christmas themed SRM products!

To realize this card I created a card base where I layered a white cardstock embossed with a snowflake pattern. Then I added a strip of gold glittered washi. Finally I added a gold glitter circle where I adhered a sticker from Fancy Sentiment/Christmas. Adhere it with foam tape to create dimension. I think the white and gold combination is so fancy and elegant!

In few minutes, with SRM stickers, you can create a lovely gift for the holidays! I hope to have give you an idea.

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Festive Thank You Card Gift Set by Karen

A set of cute thank you notes is a great gift for teachers or friends. I'm still a believer in sending personalized thank you notes and I know there are others out there who appreciate those handwritten notes, too. Using SRM's stickers makes producing several sets really easy. My cards have a cute Christmas theme and will be given to my daughter's teachers. I think they will appreciate them!

I found a bright striped paper in my holiday stash and used it as the main background for this card set. I think layers add so much to cards, especially when you want to keep it simple like these. A layer of black behind the white center makes it pop! I incorporated the cute star / list stamp from the School Days Planner set and added traditional Christmas colors behind the clear stickers to match the theme. The Thank You sentiment is from a non-holiday Stickers By the Dozen set and the cute gingerbread man is from the Stickers By the Dozen Gingerbread Man set. I also grabbed my pre-cut scalloped circle shapes from my stash. You could use a punch or a die cut to make these quickly, too. 

A set of 7-10 cards plus envelopes fit nicely in an A7 size clear box. I added red and silver crinkly paper to my box, too, which really makes it look festive. Nothing more is needed but a bit of twine to tie it all together.

For this project I used:

School Days Planner stamp set | Stickers by the Dozen-Gingerbread Man | Stickers by the Dozen-Thank You | A7 Clear Box | Red and Black Jute Twine
