Holiday Cards by Clare

We asked Clare Buswell to use her talent to create 'cardstock only' holiday cards. She came up with two cards using glittered cardstock to create evening 'scenes', with SRM Sticker Sentiments to finish them off;

Mini Calendar Printer Tray by Liz

Liz Weber had a printer tray floating around her craft room, just waiting to be decorated. Liz transformed it into 2013 mini calendar display. You could convert it to a wall-hanging by adding ribbon or twine!

Reindeer Food & Fun with Felt by Jan

How adorable is this mini tube of Reindeer Food?! Jan Tatomir provides us with the recipe and a sweet poem to accompany the tube - what a clever idea!

Magic Reindeer Food Recipe;1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup colored sugar

Magic Reindeer Food Poem;Be sure to take this magic food and sprinkle on the lawn,

On Christmas, Santa's reindeer travel miles before the dawn.

The smell of oats and glitter path will guide them on their way,

And you'll wake up to Santa's gifts next morn on Christmas Day!

Jan also assembled a holiday gift that would be perfect for a dorm room, retirement home, neighbor, teacher, etc.!

The mini Christmas Tree is accompanied by a tube filled with mini ornaments. Jan wrapped a felt square around the base of the Christmas tree and tied it with a rubber band. She layered the "tis the season" border sticker onto a piece of white felt and wrapped it around to hide the rubber band. It is held closed with a flocked brad.

Jan layered a Christmas Label onto a piece of red felt, added a felt snowflake, and a Merry Christmas sentiment.

Jan used border stickers to decorate the tube. So inspiring - thanks, Jan!

Advent Calendar Inspiration

We are so excited to showcase three exceptional Advent Calendars today. They are fun, interactive, and such a treat for the little ones in our lives.

Liz Weber used a tutorial to assemble her calendar and our number stickers to label each little drawer which contains a chocolate treat;

Shannon Morgan's banner is more of a countdown to Christmas - what a wonderful way to generate excitement for the special day;

Last but certainly not least, we have an exciting Advent Calendar by one of our favorite previous Designers, Tania Willis;

Tania was asked, once again, by Silhouette to create an advent calendar using their product. You might remember her fantastic 2011 Advent Calendar HERE. You can find out more about her 2013 project, view more photographs, and read about Tania's Advent Calendar journey HERE. As a special promotion, Silhouette is offering SRM Stickers readers a discount on the calendar. Just enter the code BLACK and you can purchase the calendar HERE at 40% off through today.

Have a great weekend, I hope you find some crafty time!

Mini Calendar by Liz

We shown several ways to use our Mini Calendar stickers and here's another idea by Liz Weber. Liz used a card base to display a 2013 mini desk calendar.

Liz created the base using a die and a folded piece of 5" x 5" white cardstock. She placed the die slightly off the fold to achieve the card shape.

Liz used another die to cut a dozen squares. She placed mini calendar stickers onto the squares and layered them using a very small strip of double sided tape.

Cake Topper by Tracey

Tracey Taylor is here with a fun way to dress up a cake - with a personalized banner! She used our Labels by the Dozen (perfect for banners), buttons, and skewers;

Tracey's inspiration for this cake topper came from Pinterest. Have you seen the SRM Stickers Pinterest Board? Just click on the link on the sidebar for a peek at some fantastic sticker projects!

Tracey says, "Working with the label stickers made this topper quick and easy to assemble because of the adhesive back and awesome designs. I backed the sticker in white cardstock part way up the sticker and left the top part sticky so I could fold it over the twine and stick the pieces on - quick and easy!"

Tracey was kind enough to share the cake recipe, you can find it HERE.

Mini Album by Amy

Amy Duff had a great idea to use our Year of Memories 2013 sticker sheet for a mini album to document a week of her life. Amy says, "The days fly by and sometimes I forget what I did if it weren't for receipts and a paper calendar. I hope to store a few items from my week by tucking them in under the pattern papers and add a little journaling to highlight each day. Even if I don't capture a photo, I think this mini will be neat to showcase a paper trail of odds and ends. My kids give me small trinkets all the time. Always a delight to see what they have for me, well most of the time. I generally come home with rocks, flowers, tiny pieces from a sticker, a single bead, and if lucky, a hand drawn note. Wish there was a way to capture their hugs. I plan to include quite a few items from them since I spend a better part of my week with these darlings."

Amy painted the chipboard covers and distressed. She used patterned paper and included a few acrylic pieces. The aqua doily was sent to Amy from a friend and she wanted to include it in her keepsake album.

What a great idea to memorialize a week of your life! Thank you Amy!

Gift Card Holders by Clare

Welcome back! We have a full week of inspirational projects for you! Clare Buswell is here today with two types of gift card holders. Clare created a basic tag shape that has a pocket on the front, and the second is based on the same tag shape but closes completely to form a little wallet with a pocket inside;

You can view and/or puchase our Holiday Stickers HERE.

Gift Tag Pouch by Liz

Liz Weber came up with a clever idea to create a set of holiday gift tags and present them in a beautiful handmade pouch;

Liz stuffed the pouch with 12 holiday tags using a full sheet of SRM Labels by the Dozen/Christmas...here's a peek at 6 of them. Gorgeous!

Here's a look at our current line of Labels by the Dozen. You can click on the image to view them larger. Our Designers are loving them!

Have a great weekend, we'll see you on Monday!

It's a Wrap! by Jan

We have more projects to share from Jan Tatomir today. Jan was asked to work her magic with SRM Stickers and gift wrap, and created a Valentine and Birthday project.

Jan says, "Wrapping presents is like therapy to me! Combining SRM border stickers and tags with my wrapping makes it even more enjoyable! Here are a few of the newest border stickers, Valentines and Birthday, along with a few Stickers and Labels by the Dozen, sprinkled in for good measure."

For Jan's first project, she spray-painted a paper mache' box with red glitter paint and added the ribbon wrapped stem to make it a wand. She added a border sticker to each of the ribbons and around the lid of the box. (Love that!) Jan decorated the top of the box with a wide ribbon, a border sticker and a heart sticker;

Jan's Birthday project serves as a Gift Card Holder. Jan used a cross stitch hoop as her base. She backed it with cardstock and fashioned the top with cardstock, patterned paper, and a zipper for a fun opening. She decorated the top and the side of the hoop with birthday borders;

To our United States friends we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. We're back on Friday with a Gift Card Pouch that will inspire you to make your own! Stop by and say hello...
