Spring/Love Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here.

Today I am here to show you a spring layout (we are still in winter days but I really needed to think about sunny and warm day, since here it is rainy and foggy!)  

So I printed this picture of me and hubby last year on holiday in beautiful Tuscany and created a colorful springy layout.  As background I used a photographic paper and I decorated the layout with many SRM Stickers!

I adhered strips of different colors to the background paper. I used many types of FreeStyle stickers, then I added the picture and decorated it. I also used the lovely quote from Say It With Stickers/Outdoors sheet.

Some stickers are adhered directly on the paper, some others are adhered on white cardstock and fussy cut.  For some of them I used foam tape to make them pop.

I also used some stickers to create my title "wonderful vacation". I added sequins to  little extra sparkle (you know, I love sequins!)

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

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Trio of Valentine Cards by Shanna

Hello SRM friends!!  Shanna here again with some fun new cards using a few of the adorable stickers SRM has available for Valentine's Day!  Perfect to give to a few special somebodies in your life!!  

Hope you enjoy!

Here are the 2 sheets I chose to use that helped make all 3 cards!

Supplies Used:

SRM Say it with stickers/Valentine

SRM Stickers by the dozen/Valentine

SRM Patterned bag

SRM Fabric bags

SRM Red Heart Doily

SRM Red jute twine

Candy Apple Distress ink

Fired Brick Distress Oxide ink

Pink Shimmer Spray

...and here they are!!

This is a standard A2 card base in white, double matted and spritzed with shimmery pink color spray, the sentiment was popped up with pop dots on an additional piece of white cardstock.  I love the sparkle the shimmer mist provides as a backdrop! The treat bag was great envelope for gifting this card..I love using non-traditional envies for my cards, I added the doily last minute, it fit perfect!!

This mini card is 2x3 in size, with distress inks smoothed in a watercolor background.  Absolutely one of my favorite techniques and super easy! Adding the age-old sentiment "Be My Valentine" was a no-brainer!!  A few heart sequins added the perfect touch! Loving the lacy linen bag as my envelope...it even has a little room left for some sweet treats!

\

Lastly, a 3x3 card that slid perfectly into this linen dotted bag!  Another dose of ink smooshing worked great to frame up the fun heart in the middle.  The border stickers are a fun way to frame up a small project as well!  The polka dot bag was a great match for an envelope, I can slide in some sweet treats or even a gift card if I wanted to!  

Here are all the cards ready to give to a special Valentine!

What type of cards or gifts are you making for YOUR Valentine this year??  

Until next time...

Valentine Gift Idea by Shanna

Hello SRM Friends!  

Shanna here again today with a great gift idea for your favorite Valentine this year!! 

I modified a file intended for a tube of chapstick and ended up with a fabulous holder for SRM's versatile plastic tubes!  This project could be easily altered for any holiday or occasion, but I especially enjoyed making a Valentine out of it.  The size even allowed me to sneak in a gift card for the special recipient!

I got to use some fabulous Valentine's stickers available from SRM in this project!  One of my favorite things with SRM's stickers is that the sets all tend to coordinate, even though the are separate sets.  So even though I used stickers from 4 different sheets, they all look like they came in the same set when put together on a project, PERFECT! :)  

 

I used some of the Red and Natural Jute twine for a fun and easy addition, and was able to tie my "tag" to the top of the bag too!

The inside of the box has a pop out piece that the tube slides perfectly into, and I added a few stickers to decorate the panel for the gift card, and actually affix the gift card to the panel as well!

Materials Used:

SRM The Original Tube

SRM Stickers Express Yourself/Valentine

SRM Stickers Say it with Stickers/Valentine

SRM Stickers Sticker Stitches/Valentine's

SRM Stickers Stickers by the Dozen/Valentine

Jute Twine

Cardstock

Silhouette file Design #134618

Hope you all enjoyed this fun project!  Let me know if you have any questions :)

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!

Thanksgiving Table Setting by Tangii

Hello, Tangii here.  Today I'm prettying up our Thanksgiving Table!  Hope this gives you some last minute ideas of how to fancy up your table for tomorrow! I've made a couple of Silverware Pockets using Burlap Bags.  These are easy to make so let's get started!

The Burlap Bags come in 2 sizes, I used the smaller.

This is one of those projects where you can just use scraps.  So I grabbed some Fall Leaves from some leftover Garland I had from making a Wreath.  For this one I grabbed a large Heart die and some simple patterned paper scrap.  The "Gratitude" and the small leaf on the heart are from the Express Yourself, Thanksgiving sticker set.  The banner across the heart is just another die, and the "Gratitude" sticker fit perfectly on it!  I just added a ribbon bow & button cluster and Voila!!

For this one I did pretty much the same thing, but to mix things up a bit I used a Tag die here.  The "Giving Thanks" is from the Express Yourself, Thanksgiving sticker set.  The leaf sticker is from the Say It With Stickers, Thanksgiving sticker set  Ok, that's it for me, thanks for popping in!

For these projects I used Burlap Bags, Express Yourself, Thanksgiving & Say It With Stickers, Thanksgiving stickers 

Happy Crafting!

Gift Wrapping by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here today with you to share an idea for a special gift.  I love to create handmade packaging and with SRM bags and stickers it is really quick and easy.  I created a Christmas bag to contain a gift for one of my creative friends (we are a group of girls who meet each month to create projects all together, we have so much fun!)

Here you can see my gift: it is an handmade faux dori (if you are interested in how I made it, you can find the photo tutorial here in my blog.) I gathered all the supplies I needed and started creating my bag. I chose the red polka dot bag because it screams Christmas to me, and the bigger size was just perfect to contain the faux dori. 

To close the bag I fold the top, punched two holes and passed red jute through them, then I created a bow. 

In a first time I thought to use the white heart paper doily but then I changed my mind: I composed the sentence "ho ho ho, merry Christmas to you!" with some stickers, alternating red and black color. I attached the stickers to white paper and then adhered them on the bag with different angles to create movement.I also added two circular stickers because they reminded me of the polka dots.

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia

Christmas Presents! by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

Today I'm sharing some cute little Christmas presents with you!

How about that wrapping paper?!...I used one of the patterned SRM Sticker bag for my gift wrapping! I started with a large bag and simply cut it open to lay flat. Which in return gave me enough paper to wrap two little presents. Simple, yeah?!

To finish my presents off, I stacked them and used some jute twine to hold everything together. After, I used some fun and festive stickers (which I did a little fussy cutting with) to embellish my presents and tag. Sweet, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Baby's First Christmas Layout by Giorgia

Hello SRM friends, Giorgia here with a new layout for you.
Have you already started thinking about Christmas?
I sure am! So, to get in the Christmas mood I am scrapping some pictures from our family lunch last year.
Do you remember my lovely nice Greta?
I made a layout to remember her first Christmas: she was only a month old and she was really adorable in her cute festive dress.

To create the layout I used many SRM stickers Chrismtas themed products: check out Chrismtas category in the shop, it is full of amazing items!
I chose a background paper that perfectly matched my picture colors, and started decorating: I chose to stick with traditional Christmas colors.
I layered the picture on patterned papers and used SRM stickers to add interest to the page.

 I added some wood veners to add texture.

I adhered circles stickers on white cardstock, fussy cutted them and adhered them with foam tape to make them pop from the background and add depth. I love this technique, it is one of my go to in almost each layout!

I used small calendar numbers stickers to create the date on a sticker label, I handwrote the journal with black pen from Le Pen 4 Piece Set - Dark Colors and added the word Christmas from the Baby first year stickers sheet.

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

Until next time,

ciao, Giorgia.

Mini Calendar Teacher Gift by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today.  I love doing Back to School projects! 

It's almost time! The summer is winding down and school supplies are stacking up. Today, I'm sharing a cute back to school calendar project for your favorite teachers. I started with a mini clipboard that I covered with school themed washi tape.

Then I grabbed all my school themed SRM stickers and the 2017 and 2018 calendar stickers. Using precut 3x4 journaling cards sped up the project and provided additional background color. I used the mini calendar stickers and lots of SRM stickers to create a card for each month. Each month's card is fun and unique.

Happy back to school time!

For this project, I used lots of stickers from these SRM collections:

Mini Calendar Standard for 2017 and 2018 | Year of Memories 2018 | Express Yourself School | Live Life School | Say It With Stickers Teacher | FreeStyle School |
