A Gift of Good Luck by Shannon


There's a lot to be said about superstition, fans and sports. The basketball season in the Morgan house is winding down and I'm not going to lie, it's been a tough season for Paddy and Mack.  Naturally, being a nurturer, I feel the need to soothe bruised egos with some sort of small trinket, gift or token. 

This is where SRM Stickers comes into play for me, giving me perfect containers, sentiments, embellishments and stickers to create some handmade love! 

I created this sweet little box for Mack (which I plan to fill with a pair of basketball earrings and York Peppermint Patties) using a plethora of SRM goodies: Large Punched PiecesMedium Punched PiecesTake 2: Stickers By The Dozen/Basketball Say It With Stickers Mini/BasketballSticker Stitches in Black,  Solid TwineBaker's Twine & one of the BRAND NEW Kraft Boxes!

I love that everything coordinates so perfectly. You will too when you work with all of the SRM goodness. 

Here's a close up of some of the very awesome coordinating basketball and stitches stickers...look how awesome they work together!

The top of this box is my favorite, everything is layered and dimensional. Mack is going to love it!

Colorful Clear Purse by Michele


Michele here with a bright colorful way to say thank you! I am constantly coming up with new ways to thank all of my daughter's teachers, bus drivers, and aides at school. So what's better than a bold funky clear purse filled with Bath and Body, a gift card, and a bit of candy?  Well that's what I am planning on putting in the bag at least.  ;)  I used SRM's clear purse and added a doily to help "ground" my funky elements. 

SRM Stickers Blog - Colorful Clear Purse by Michele - #clearpurse #containers #gift #thankyou #doilies #stickers #punchedpieces

I added a water colored circle cut with a Spellbinder's die.  I then layered SRM's punched scalloped circle that I water colored and glittered.  I added a thank you sticker from the Take 2: Thank You set.  Since I was on a total water coloring kick, I continued that trend with the leaves.  For my finishing touches I added rolled roses, string, epoxy dots, and a stick pin.

I was pleased with this little combo...it just seemed "happy" to me.

Birthday Kraft Boxes by Shantaie


Hello and Happy Birthday from Shantaie! Well .....it doesn't have to be your birthday today to celebrate one of the newest products here at SRM Kraft Boxes in all new stack-able sizes! I LOVE kraft gift containers because they are the perfect neutral canvas to use for literally any occasion!  I added a paper ribbon and bow and a trio of patterned papers to the front of each box.

SRM Stickers Blog - Birthday Kraft Boxes by Shantaie - #birthday #kraftboxes #stickers #twine #punchedpieces

To add a fun message I used a sticker on each box on alternating sides, for the "happy birthday" I relied on one of my all time favorites Happy Birthday Sentiments and for the make a wish I used  We've Got Your Sticker Happy.

SRM Stickers Blog - Birthday Kraft Boxes by Shantaie - #birthday #kraftboxes #stickers #twine #punchedpieces

It goes without saying that every package needs a tag, and we have (in my opinion) the most adorable scallop circles called Punched Pieces to create tags with! I added a cupcake sticker also from We've got your sticker "Happy"  and tied up with some striped bakers Twine in honeydew. Gift presentation complete! 

Thanks for stopping in today and celebrating the kraft box with me!  As you can see we are ready to help you throw your best party yet! Where to start? Kraft boxes of course. They are amazing for party favors, and for your gift giving too!

Welcome Jane Beljo - New Design Team Member!


SRM is so excited to be working with Jane Beljo and her Jane's Doodles Stamps and we thought wouldn't it be fun to have Jane as part of our Design Team!  And so today we are excited to announce that Jane is the newest member of SRM's Design Team with a focus on clear stamps!  Can't wait to see what magic she creates! 

Let's meet Jane!  She was on the very first SRM Design Team in 2010 and I fell in love with her creative style.  Jane lives in Zagreb, Croatia where she's a mom, an artist and a designer.  SRM is now distributing Jane's wonderful line of clear stamps, Jane's Doodles.  They go so well with all the products in the SRM line and we can't wait to see what Jane does weaving Jane's Doodles and SRM together. 



Today Jane shares a couple of fun and fabulous cards.  One with Spring in mind. The other is perfect for Valentines.  

For her first card, Janes uses Jane's Doodles Springtime stamp and SRM's Spring Sticker Sentiments.  Stamps and clear stickers are a perfect match!

Welcome New Design Team Member - Tessa Buys


Exciting news!  Today we welcome Tessa Buys back to the SRM Design Team  
with a beautiful layout featuring her beautiful baby girl! So happy to have you with us Tessa.  And now for Tessa's post in her own words...


Hello! Tessa here and it feels so good to be back at SRM Stickers, a place near and dear to my paper-crafting heart. Speaking of heart, it's that time of year, and I have been busy with my Valentine's Day stickers. Using the We've Got Your Border/Valentine sheet, I created this layout about my baby girl:

SRM Stickers Blog - Welcome New Design Team Member - Tessa Buys #layout #love #baby #valentine #stickers

By trimming my patterned paper into sections, I was able to use three different border stickers on one layout. I distressed the edges of the patterned paper so that the stickers seem to "peek" out.

SRM Stickers Blog - Welcome New Design Team Member - Tessa Buys #layout #love #baby #valentine #stickers

While not exactly a Valentine's Day layout, it is all about how much I love (and love dressing up) this baby girl. See? Holiday stickers are right at home on everyday-type pages, too!

Again, I'm excited to be here and I'm so grateful for the opportunity! Thanks for visiting today!

Basketball Cupcake Toppers by Christine


He dribbles, he shoots, he scores!  

Hi SRM Stickers fans!  Christine joining you today with a winning team treat project! As a sports loving mom I am always on the lookout for ways to make special treats for my kids and their teams.  Today I am going to share with you how I used the new Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen - Basketball stickers to create cupcake toppers.

SRM Stickers Blog - Basketball Cupcake Toppers by Christine - #basketball #teamtreats #punchedpieces #Take2stickers #tickers #teamtreats

SRM Stickers has all the supplies you need to make these cupcake toppers and even personalize them with the kids numbers!

SRM Stickers Blog - Basketball Cupcake Toppers by Christine - #basketball #teamtreats #punchedpieces #Take2stickers #tickers #teamtreats

First off attach a basketball from the Take2: Stickers By The Dozen/Basketball Stickers to a Medium White Punched Piece. Put some adhesive on the back of the punched piece and add a toothpick to it and then top it with another plain punched piece.

SRM Stickers Blog - Basketball Cupcake Toppers by Christine - #basketball #teamtreats #punchedpieces #Take2stickers #tickers #teamtreats

Use a border from the  Take2: Stickers By The Dozen/Basketball Stickers and put it onto cardstock.  Cut it out and separate each "Basketball is Life" saying.  Adding the cardstock to it makes it easier to add to the topper without a sticky part hanging over. 

SRM Stickers Blog - Basketball Cupcake Toppers by Christine - #basketball #teamtreats #punchedpieces #Take2stickers #tickers #teamtreats

Use We've Got Your Number Small/White to add each kiddos number to the toppers. 

My son's team enjoyed having these at a special basketball tournament and I know your kids will enjoy them too!

Valentine Shadow Box by Cathy H.


Cathy here sharing a quick Valentine gift with you today!  All you need is a shadow box, a bit of candy and some fabulous SRM Vinyl!  This really went together in minutes...SRM's Vinyl is so easy to work with, cuts beautifully and transfers like a dream!  The cutting files are all Lori Whitlock...hugs, kisses and the ampersand.

I used SRM Vinyl Matte Sheets in Red and White.  A fun and easy project and there just happens to a little slot on the top of my shadow box, so I know my favorite little people will have no problems devouring the Kisses!

Today I am playing with SRM Stickers Mini TubeWe've Got Your Border (Valentines)Jane's Doodles Little Miss Mia and Seamus The Sheep. I also used a cute die from Casual Fridays.

I just can't get enough of this little Dog from the Little Miss Mia set and the sentiment script from Seamus The Sheep is just perfect. Mixed with SRM Stickers We've Got Your Border (Valentines) this makes for the perfect gift of love.

As a bonus, the inside of the tube is full of hearts. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut all the hearts out to fill the inside of the SRM Stickers Mini Tube. The heart file can be found in the Silhouette Library.

A kraft embossed bag was trimmed down and reshaped to create a pocket for all the other month cards, and a little create sentiment added to card.

I filled the 5.75" x 7.75" Chevron Embossed Glassine Bag with a We've Got Your Border/Valentine sheet of stickers and a few sequins.  To top it off, I added a 6" Red Heart Lace Doily, one of the Large White Punched Pieces with added Labels by the Dozen/Valentine sticker, and a sentiment strip from the Stickers by the Dozen/Valentine sticker sheet.
