Back to School! (Already?) by Michele

It is hard to believe that back to school is right around the corner! Which means this gal right here is back to work soon! ;)  I used the new Fall Plans Clear Planner Stamp to create this card for my son. 

I stamped the checks  in a horizontal pattern.

I broke up the checks with my sentiment, the row of apples, and the glittery strips.  I used my Mini Misti to line my apples up.  (Otherwise they definitely would have looked wonky!)  I added black  jute at the top and 3 epoxy circles to balance the card.  

To create a bit more interest, I added glossy accents to each apple. I also used a white gel pen to add the highlight. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

7 Mini Calendar Stamp Projects & a VIDEO by Christine

Hi there SRM fans!  The newest stamp releases have so many possibilities and today I am going to share with you Christine joining you with 7 ideas for using the Mini Calendar Stamps from the Winter Plans, Spring Plans, Summer Plans, and Fall Plans sets.

Rather than do picture after picture - how about a video to show the 7 ideas?  I made 7 fun projects and here's a video walk-thru!

 

To recap here's the 7 ideas I highlighted: Baby Book, Save the Date Cards, Date Cards (Birthday, Anniversary, etc), Bible Journaling/Prayer List, Traveler's Notebook, Pocket Page, and Party Invitations.  Here's a couple closeups of the calendars on the projects.

Highlight a whole week or more in your traveler's notebook!

How about capturing all those sweet baby memories in a book and using the calendars to help document the days!?!

Are you ready to get your hands on those plans stamps!?! Head on over to the SRM Store to grab them!

Linen Bags! by Michele

Good morning friends, Michele here with a fun holiday project!  I am totally loving these new linen bags! The polka dots totally slay me!  I often pull inspiration from the stuff collected on my desk from other projects, like these red flowers. This was my starting point. 

I decided to punch a black tag and stamp and emboss the little cup and sentiment from the Fall Plans Planner stamp set.   I loved the little checkerboard pattern and stamped that between them for a bit of interest.  I dabbed my finger in a bit of white ink and ran it over the edges to give a chalk board effect.  ( A technique I hadn't used in a LONG while!) ;) 

I added green glittery leaves and gold twine nestled under the flower. 

For the holidays I will slip a few packets of hot cocoa in each bag and leave it 

on one of my co-workers' desks to brighten their day!
