Stickers & Twine by Amy

Twine and clear stickers are a great combination!  Both are easy to use and both look great.  Just ask Amy Crockett…who uses this combination all the time.  

Today I'm sharing a few of Amy's Twine/Stickers projects that I simply love.  First up is a little teacher gift that she made using a little paint can topped off with a lovely tag that's embellished with a Thanks sticker and some Peapod and Cappuccino Twinery Twine.  YUM! 

The next project is a wonderful little tag that Amy created using images from the Silhouette store topped off with a SRM Sticker and Twinery Twine.  

And the final project is a birthday card with a rainbow fringe of twine and topped off with a Fancy Sticker Sentiment.  

So make sure that you have plenty of clear SRM stickers and Twinery Twine in your stash.  You'll be amazed what you can create with this winning combination!

Canvas Tag & Chevron Bag by Shantaie

Hi I'm Shantaie bringing you a canvas tag, on a card, all tucked inside a chevron kraft bag! Okay that title may need some reworking, but this single layered card is packed full of sweet and sparkly goodness!  Lets start with the card first.

 A flat postcard style card is fitted with pretty papers, and a stitched down canvas tag embellished with three brads and a fancy sticker sentiment  A pull tab style floral ribbon was added to easily slip the card from the decorated bag.

The Chevron kraft bag is embellished with more pretty papers, and a delicate lace border, a folded doily is wrapped up with a twine bow and a crochet flower and bitty pearls. The Fancy birthday sentiment says it all, and hints at the contents of he package! 

I had so much fun making this card and bag/envelope, I hope you are inspired to try one yourself! 

Fun with Dies, Boxes and Stamps by Angi

Hello and let's welcome back the uber talented Angi Barrs!  

We are super excited to have her on our All Star Team!  We simply love her style!  Now let's hear from Angi in her own words… 

*****

Hello! Angi Barrs with you today! I am so blessed to have wonderful friends. I always like to thank them in some way when they do something thoughtful for me. Here is a "thank you" gift that I came up with using some fun products from SRM Stickers.

I mixed three different SRM products to make this one. First up is a "thank you" tag.

The tag is adorned with a canvas piece to add some texture. I used the wafer thin die and white cardstock to add a layered piece. This die coordinates with the mini calendar stickers, but can be used for other purposes too. I love to use it to add sentiments to my projects.

I also used the Jane's Doodles "Fancy Doodles" stamp set to add a sentiment and flower. I placed a tiny gem in the center of the flower to give it some shine.

I then dressed up an SRM kraft window box. You can use them for a variety of projects. I added coordinating washi tape to both the box and tag. I also stamped an extra flower for the outside of the box.

The "thank you" tag, confetti paper, and a gift card easily fit inside the box. Each of these window boxes comes with a clear film that you can adhere to the inside of the box. This ensures that your contents won't fall out.

Here's the beautiful "Fancy Doodles" stamp set that I used for the sentiment and the flower embellishment.

I hope that you are inspired to make your own "thank you" gifts. Your family and friends will love them. 

For these products and more be sure to check out the SRM Store!

Or drop by your local craft store and ask for SRM!

Happy Crafting!

Christmas Bags & Tags by Christine

Welcome back to Christine Meyer!  She's now a member of the new SRM All Star Team and I love her many talents.  Today she is rocking the new canvas tags, sticker stitches and stamps.

Now let's hear from Christine in her own words…

••••••

Hi SRM fans!  I'm not gonna lie, I kind of love thinking about Christmas in July!  Christmas is my favorite time of year, so given the chance I will craft it in the off season too!  Today I am going to show you how I took some new products from SRM to make some Christmas goodies!  

First up some Christmas tags on the new Canvas Tags!

I love the "To" and "From" on this stamp.  They are perfect for gift tags and bags! And love all the little hearts, candy canes and holly too.  They give a nice finishing touch to any project.

This was super simple to make!  I used regular black ink and my stamps. The new 'Tis the Season stamps were perfect for this! I then colored it in with a permanent marker (nothing fancy). 

I also added Stamped Stitches to the tag just to add a little something extra. Could not be any more simple and will add a great personalized touch to my gifts!

I also did a canvas tag with the reindeer stamp from the set - he was a little trickier because there were a lot more details but he still turned out cute!

Now this simple technique doesn't just work for our canvas tags!  It also works on the new Linen Bags!  I used a 3"X 5" Rustic Linen Bag and I did a very similar design as my tree tag but did it on a bag.

How perfect will this be to stick a gift card or other tiny gift in?  Handmade with a personal touch always makes the gift even more special!

Christmas in July by Annette

Happy Day SRM Stickers Friends..

Annette Allen here with you today to share a little Christmas in July.

Today I am playing with:

SRM Stickers: 

Fancy Sticker Sentiments (Christmas)

 We've Got Your Sticker (Merry)

Stickers By the Dozen (Christmas)

Wafer Thin Die for Decorative Calendar Stickers

Janes Doodles: Tis the Season

The Twinery: Solid Peapod Twine

Who doesn't love a cute Santa on a card? I adore these sweet Christmas images from Janes Doodles: Tis the Season. I love the big sentiment from Fancy Sticker Sentiments (Christmas) it was perfect for the background and well it kind of says it all, don't you think?

 This is another way to show you how you can use the new Wafer Thin Die for Decorative Calendar Stickers. 



You don't just have to use it for the calendar. It is also perfect for all those fun Christmas tags you will be making. See how perfectly the sweet raindeer from Janes Doodles: Tis the Season fits on it and you can still add some fun SRM Stickers. The background on the card and tag is a stencil.  

Well I hope that today's post has inspired you to get started on those fun Christmas cards and tags.  With the way this year is flying by you better get started! :)

Day #2 - Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - You're My Cup of Tea by Jane Beljo

Welcome to day #2 of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  SRM is so excited to be part of this great event.  We are a Super Sponsor and that means that there will be SRM giveaways on the Coffee Lovers Blog. Be sure to check it out every day through Friday June 12th. 

Today we are thrilled to have Jane Beljo, the creator of Jane's Doodles Stamps, as our designer.  Jane is now designing stamps for the SRM line and one of our new stamps is Jane's "tea" stamp called Tea Time. 

Jane took one of SRM's kraft pillow boxes, stamped it with stripes and then created a tag using the Tea Time stamp set.  

What a perfect little set to tuck a gift inside.  Don't you just love Jane's creations?  Both her stamps and her projects!

Tuck in some tea…

Tie it up with twine …. and you're done! :)

 Tea Time is just one of 10 new stamps from Jane in the new stamp release from SRM.    Here's a link where you can see all of the new stamps:

Baseball is Life Shaker Tag by Lorena

Hello, SRM friends! It's Lorena with you today and I'm excited to be sharing a fun project for the sports lovers in your life. The new Sports Take 2 stickers are the star of the game today!

I started die cutting two round tags from cardstock and acetate. Second, I die cut a circle from the center of one the cardstock tags and adhered the acetate behind it to make the window.

On the base of the tag (which once everything is assembled will be the "inside" of the shaker area) I adhered one of the big ball images from Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen / Baseball. To fill the shaker, I die cut some cardstock sequins and stars, but the fun part was adding lots of tiny baseball balls to the mix!

I simply adhered one of the border stickers from the Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen / Baseball to a piece of white cardstock and punched them with a 1/2 inch punch.

Once the shaker mix was ready, I adhered the two tags (the base one and the acetate one) together with foam tape, leaving a small gap to pour the mix inside.

The final touches were adding the "Baseball is life" sentiment, which I put together using two different border stickers and of course some baker's Twinery Twine. I went with red and black, but grey would look nice too.

I hope you like this idea! It can be used for many different sports just by changing the color combo and using the right stickers: SRM has soccer, volleyball and basketball too!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
