Happy Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here.

Today I am here to show you a layout with watercolored, stamped and machine stitched background.  This is me and hubby on our 25th April traditional picnic with friends. To create the background I created a watercolor splatter on white cardstock and then I stamped faux stitching with BIG HAPPY clear stamp . I machine stitched over the stamps to add texture; I love to leave long thread to add extra fun to the project.

I used BIG Happy also to create part of the title.

I stamped it on a cardstock and fussy cut it.  I cut many tiny designs from different SRM Stickers (hearts, butterflies, flowers) and I used them to decorate the background.

I hope you liked my layout and wish you a good day. 

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Home Decor Vinyl by Christine

SRM's new spring colors of vinyl are great for cutting with electronic machines but sometimes you just need a nice background and need a simple cut.  They work great for that too!  Christine joining you today with a home deocr piece that I made for our newly redecorated master bedroom.

When I saw this pastel blue vinyl I knew it would be perfect to use in our Master Bedroom.  I picked up this undecroated frame at a big box store.  I measured and cut out a piece of the vinyl to fit in the center and then decorated it from there with more SRM goodies!

I wanted a soft romantic touch to the frame but still with a modern feel.  Enter burlap, lace, and vellum - perfect for creating that look!  The frame came with six clips to hang things from and although I could have removed some, I liked the look of six.  I knew I wanted to do two pictures so that left four open.  I attached the circle sticker from the Fancy Sentiments/Thinking of You set to white cardstock and cut that out to fill one clip.  I also added a small circle from the Fancy Sentiments/Love set to a tag for another clip.

Then came the last two clips which happen to be my favorite!  First I used 4" lace and ran it through a manual die cut machine to cut it into a heart.  I then added a smaller burlap heart on top of the lace.  I used titles from the We've Got Your Sticker Happy and We've Got Your Sticker Forever on top of vellum to add some big words to the frame.

What would you do with these beautiful new patterned vinyls?  

The colors are delicious!

Card Gift Set by Shery

Let's welcome Shery Russ to the SRM Team.  This is her first post and you are in for a treat! 

Shery loves creating card gift sets.  For this set she combined stamping, SRM Sticker Sentiments, a SRM Doily and a clear A-2 Box topped with a SRM Made by Label to hold her special cards.  

This set of cards are all one layer.  They are inexpensive to make and easy to mail.  But Shery says that one layer cards are a challenge by themselves as every time she sets out to create them, it pushes her to come up with creative ways to use stamps, inks and stickers.  Instead of relying on layering, you have to rely on one dimensional design. 

Shery stamped 6 A2 cards,  in different colors.  She then affixed clear sticker sentiments from SRM, 3 thank you and 3 Oh Happy Day.

These cards, along with matching white envelopes, fit perfectly inside the A2 Card Box.  What a delicious grouping of cards and what a perfect gift for a teacher or friend.

Once all her cards were done, Shery decorated the clear box with Sticker Stitches and made a topper using SRM's 4" white doilies.  She took two doilies folded in half and then pleated.  She inked the edges of the doily to match the splatters on the top card.  She attached Velcro on two ends of a burlap ribbon and then glued her topper onto one of the ends.  That Made with Love Sticker is mounted on on Punched Piece.  Our design team members are loving the Punched Pieces.  Easy peasy!

When Shery made these cards, she did them assembly line style so the cards were done in quick time. With one sticker sheet, you can make at least a dozen cards with the images and sentiments (24 cards if you use them separately)...and then you've got mini sentiments to use on tags, journal cards, or your other paper craft projects.

Thanks for the inspiration Shery.  This card set is totally awesome!

Happy Day by Michele

Happy 4th of July!  Hope you are all planning lots of "happy" things to do throughout the day and evening.  

Today we are sharing the first project from Michele Kovack whose crafting skills are amazing.  We are so blessed to have her on our team. Prepare for some  inspiration! :)

When Michele thinks of "happy" she usually thinks of bright, fun colors!  So when she took her bag of Punched Pieces from SRM she wanted them to reflect happiness.  She took out her alcohol inks and started randomly squirting them the white scalloped circles with various colors.  She loved the splotched, colorful look!  

Since Michele is a total hoarder and never seems to throw anything away, she keeps all of her cuts from previous projects.  In a way, it's a good thing she does, because it saves her time later!  The flower she used on this project, for example, was from a previous project that didn't make the cut.  The leaves were also from something else but the worked perfectly here!   Michele added a bit of ribbon and her Happy Day sentiment sticker from SRM's Stickers by the Dozen Birthday Birdie sheet.  

Michele loved how this card turned out and has a few more ideas about how to used SRM's Punched Pieces.  Stay tuned for more Punched Pieces projects in the very near future!  Have a happy day!  

Glassine Gift Bag and Card by Angi

When you need a gift "just because", SRM Glassine Bags are the perfect gift wrap.  And SRM Border Stickers are the perfect way to decorate these fun and fabulous bags. 

Angi Barrs wanted to make a gift bag and card that focused on being happy.  This set could be used for so many different types of occasions.  Think encouragement, friendship or just because. 

Angi used brightly colored SRM Sticker Borders as they goes so well with colorful chipboard and paper.  Happy colors make the gifting occasion even more fun!

First Angi created her glassine bags keeping the design clean and simple using SRM's Pastel Borders on her bag.

Then she created this happy companion card keeping using even more borders.  Angi loves her SRM borders!  The pink Sticker Stitches and the "Hello Sunshine" sentiment are both from the Bright Border set. 

Put them together and you have a very happy pair that's sure to brighten the day of the lucky recipient 

Thanks Angi for your clean and simple solution to gift giving!

A Happy Hello

Good Morning! Did you see my post from yesterday? I announced our new Design Team. There is so much excitement buzzing about SRM Stickers and our new Team! We can't wait to show you their creations. In the meantime, here is a set of mini cards for ya. :) I used layered Cosmo Cricket flowers, cut with my Making Memories Slice Machine, as my focal points.





I wanted to see how well SRM Stickers would adhere to heavily glittered cardstock. I was pleased to see that it blends and adheres absolutely perfectly! In fact, it worked so well that I sprinted over to my local craft store and stocked up on a stack of white for future projects.


Quick Cards:
"Happy" & "Hello"






I'll be back tomorrow with a few St. Patrick's Day cards. Crafting with green normally doesn't excite me but these were a lot of fun to make. Come back and see us...and don't forget to follow! And, how about this -- the first person to comment on this post (you must be a follower) will receive a complete set of our Quick Cards stickers. Just email me with your postal address, lucky reader!
