Guest Designer; Erin Thiem

We are excited to have Erin Thiem on the Blog today. Erin is a long-time friend of SRM and we adore her work in our Gallery. Here's a bit more about Erin and her fabulous coffee gift basket!

My name is Erin and I'm a card making junkie. I love that I have found a whole wonderful community of like minded people! I live in Northern California with my husband and 2 little boys, and run a small motel called the Outside Inn. When I'm not dealing with life at the Inn I can often be found in my messy craft room making crafty goodies.

For this project I decided to put my work blog, InnSide Nevada City, to work to help promote one of our local coffee roasters. I decorated a crate full of coffee goodies with SRM Stickers, fun tags, and a special greeting card with coordinating bookmark. Carolines Coffee Roasters is celebrating their 30th birthday and hosting giveaways all month. To win this crate, look for the photo of this crate on their Facebook Page and post a comment to win. They will mail the crate domestically or internationally, so all comments are welcome.

Baseball Layout by Christine

Christine Ousley had fun with our Baseball stickers for this layout. Christine says, "I love using text as a graphical element on my pages and by using the words, quotes, and definition stickers, I was able to create my own custom "patterned" paper. I even got a thumbs-up from my son when he was looking over my shoulder as I worked, saying, "Cool! Bo Jackson, said that? He is an awesome baseball player.""

We carry a huge line of sport stickers including soccer, lacrosse, karate, skiing - the list goes on and on! Take a look, HERE.

Butterfly Tube by Jamie

Jamie Cripps put together a thoughtful gift using our Tubes and stickers. Jamie says, "My niece (who is very much a princess!) loves making her own bracelets so I decided to make bracelet kit for her! I designed a butterfly cut that would hold the mini tube. You can download the files through the links below:

SVG FileSilhouette Studio File

Note: The cut file is designed to use a double sided paper as the lower butterfly is flipped.

"I filled the tube with a variety of beads in different colors and sizes and included some beautiful twines to string them on! I added the Princess stickers to the tube as well as the paper band that holds in the tube."

"I topped the mini tube off with the "make a wish" sticker and placed foam adhesives on the top corners of the wings to securely hold the tube."

SUPPLIES: We've Got Your Sticker #53007 Princess and The MINI Tube #38003.

Please be sure to join us on Friday, April 20th as Jing-Jing Nickel will be here as a Guest Designer. Jing-Jing is a former Designer for SRM and she is back for a day, sharing a fabulous project. We'll also be hosting a giveaway that day!  We have a suprise Guest Designer on Monday as well!

Getting Sentimental by Shannon

Shannon Morgan was inspired by our "Life is Good" Sticker Sentiment sheet -- it served as her journaling prompt for a wonderfully sweet beach layout.

School Card by Shantaie

Shantaie Fowler has a jump on back-to-school projects with a card she created for her daughter. Shantaie says, "Can you remember that feeling of excitement and anticipation of the summer ahead, on the last day of school? I made this card to put in my daughter's lunchbox on the last day of her junior year. It is sure to be a bittersweet day as she will be saying goodbye to friends, and hello to a Summer of long warm days, and traveling adventures."

"I have been planning to make this card for some time, and the moment I spotted this sentiment I knew it would make a great little note! The fun patterned apple is just the right splash of playfulness!"

This can work for the first day of school, last day of school, or simply switch up the sentiment for a teacher appreciation card. HERE are our School stickers - so much variety!  Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank You Garden Cart by Liz

What a wonderful way to say Thank You! Liz Weber created a Thank You Garden Cart and coordinating card using SRM Thank You stickers and a tutorial by Scor-Pal which you can find HERE.

We carry a full line of thank you stickers including Sentiments, Quick Cards, Borders and More;
