For the tube, cut up or shred some pieces of white and black cardstock. Then add sticker to any color of cardstock to match your wedding colors. Add all in tube. On the outside of the tube, add sticker going up the side. Then add sticker around the top on the cap and add twine.

For the card, take white cardstock and cut to a smaller size card. Stamp on flourish, using pink ink. Add SRM sticker at bottom of card. Then take SRM heart sticker and place on white cardstock (cut to size, if need be) and use foam squares on back. Add to middle of card.

For pillow box, take a SRM Wedding border sticker and place on white cardstock (cut to size, if need be). Then adhere to pillow box. Next, take dies and use white cardstock to create two ovals. After, add SRM Love sticker to the small oval. Then place a foam square on the backside. Adhere it to the top of the bigger oval. Add enamel dots and a piece of twine, tied in a bow. Once done, adhere to pillow box and fill with mints, candies or other goodies.

For the glassine bag and XOXO pencils, Shelly just used one SRM Wedding border sticker on the bag. And she just used twine to tie the pencils together.

Wedding Favors by Michelle


Michelle Giraud loves the idea of wedding guests being able to pick their favorite favor to bring home, so she made containers to hold all three of her favorites - a mini cupcake, a cookie and candy. Sweet!  She coordinated the packages so they all have hand rolled roses, the same patterned paper and SRM's Wedding Stickers by the Dozen on each container.  Michelle used SRM's Glassine Bags, Square Clear Box and Mini Tube for her favors.

The 2x2x2 clear box is the perfect size for a mini cupcake.  Decorated along the front with the small sentiments from the sticker set.  The handrolled rose and die cut leaves are accented with a little bow of green twine.

The tube has a rolled insert and is then decorated with the "Love is" sticker from the set.  Attached is a rolled rose and the cap is wrapped in twine.

The glassine bag was embossed for texture, the top has been folded over and decorated with a scalloped edge, designer paper, rolled rose with leaves and a small Green Peapod twine bow to hold it closed.

Upcycled Layout by Yvonne


Yvonne Yam loves to re-purpose almost everything including this layout on a pie plate.  How fun! She did her layout featuring my nephews. The base was covered up with torn book paper and colored with Faber Castell Gelatos.

Then Yvonne decorated with bits and pieces of found items in her stash and SRM stickers including Express Yourself Everyday Boy and We've Got Your Sticker Hello.

Now that's what I call re-cycling and what a very cool result.  Thanks Yvonne for your mixed media treat!  What a great gift this would make for a Grandparent any time of year.

Tube Stocking Stuffers by Latrice


Latrice Murphy loves SRM Tubes so much! Today she's sharing how fun they are to create as Christmas Stocking Stuffers. And there are so many fun things that fit into the SRM tubes. Latrice found out that lip balm was the perfect size for the Skinny tube! She was at Target looking in her favorite section (the One Spot) and found $1 flavors of lip balm. How perfect for stocking stuffers she thought. Or perfect as gifts for her daughter to give to her friends! Latrice got to work and pulled out large gemstones, twine, and her SRM stickers. And here is what she came up with.

Christmas Labels Greetings by Roberta


Roberta Rosi loves SRM's Labels by the Dozen and thought it would be fun to create lots of little Christmas goodies using the Christmas Greetings sheet.  


Roberta loves the look of Kraft paper with Christmas colors.  She first created 6 mini cards simply decorating a double kraft cardstock with the stickers, a little snowflake, a bit of bling, some matching green and red baker's twine and little red bells.  Perfection!

With the same set of stickers, she decorated SRM's Merry & Bright pencils with Christmas Sentiment Labels.  These could become a fun place card at your holiday table or they can be used to decorate packages.  Roberta added a bit of twine and little bells to the pencils too!

And then Roberta continued to create using SRM's 4" x 6" Kraft bags.  She embossed them with a fine pin dot.  She added a banner with the Labels by the Dozen and closed the bags using a small wooden stick decorated with a snowflake and bling.  And don't forget the twine!

Tutorial: Popcorn Seasoning Set by Michelle


Michelle Giraud was inspired by a post on Pinterest showing a set of seasoning salts for popcorn in glass jars and plastic bags and she thought that the SRM Mini Tubes, Glassine Bags and Cooking themed stickers would be just perfect for her project.  And she was right!




Michelle felt the tubes needed something to hold them together as a set, so she made a top and bottom "box" to set them in.  To make the box you'll need 2 pieces of cardstock 5.25"x3".  Score each side @ 1", cut lines as shown in diagram (not to scale) then glue/tape the box together folding the excess flaps to the inside. Completed box will measure 3.25" x 1".  She decorated both the top and bottom with scalloped trim and stickers from Freestyle Cookin' which were adhered to black cardstock then trimmed.




Michelle used mini tubes to store her seasonings and embellished the little box she created with SRM Cooking Stickers.  Perfect!




Michelle made 3 salt mixes; spicy Mexican, savory garlic & pepper, and sweet cinnamon & sugar.  Each tube holds 1/4 cup of seasoning.  Here are her recipes:

Spicy Mexican Salt
1/4 cup salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Savory Garlic Pepper
1/4 cup salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Sweet Cinnamon Sugar
1/8 cup salt
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 

Michelle mixed each salt and used a small funnel to pour into the tubes.  The Express Yourself Recipe stickers have the perfect square stickers to label the tubes spicy, savory and sweet.


Michelle measured out 1/2 cup servings of popcorn and put them in decorated SRM Glassine bags.  She used stickers from Freestyle Cookin' and red stitches to decorate.   




Michelle finished off the set in a yellow cardstock popcorn box which was made from a template from greensneakers.com  What a great resource Green Sneakers is.  So many templates!  


Here are just a few of the SRM Cooking stickers.  See them all HERE.



What a wonderful gift for a popcorn loving friend!  Thank you Michelle for this delicious inspiration.

Christmas Label Lovlies by Shelly


I love the clean and simple style of Shelly Kurth.  When asked to use SRM's Labels by the Dozen in a new and different way, Shelly went to work to create this wonderful Christmas card and Tube set.  Lovely, layered labels are so much fun!

SRM Stickers - Christmas Label Lovlies by Shelly #labels #stickers #card #christmas #tube #twine

Shelly adhered a glitter leaf onto her card and then adhered a label mounted to white cardstock onto the leaf.  She then placed foam squares onto the back of the other two labels and adhered them to the bottom label.  Add some Red and Green twine and rhinestones.

Thank You Coach Card by Michelle


Michelle Giraud's daughter's Cross Country season is over and she wanted to make a special thank you card for her daughter's coach.  Using SRM's Cross Country Say it with Stickers Mini, she created this beautiful card. 

SRM Stickers - Thank You Coach Card by Michelle - #card #cross country #stickers #thank you

Michelle simply adhered the main sticker at the top.

Then she adhered the definition at the bottom which left the middle to fill in with a picture and a little decoration. 

SRM Stickers - Thank You Coach Card by Michelle - #card #cross country #stickers #thank you

 She used the same designer paper to cover the envelope and used the quote sticker on the front of that.

I'm sure the coach will treasure this card.  On the inside, Michelle typed up a list of milestones for the past seasons including races and times, date os sectional championshiped they had won and some funny anecdotes about the coach.  What a keepsake a card can be!
