Birthday Plans Gift Set by Amber

Hello SRM Sticker fans! It's Amber here, today I'm sharing this fun Birthday/Thank You ensemble. Store bought birthday invitations and Thank you gifts can be so expensive these days so I thought it would be fun to create and share some I created with my craft supplies.

I created these two Birthday invites using fun patterned paper, a printable invitation I found on Pinterest HERE, SRM Stickers Birthday Plans Clear Stamp Set, coordinating washi tape, pink enamel dots, and mini gold staples. I printed the invitations I found on Pinterest onto some patterned paper from Pink Paislee and jazzed them up with the craft supplies I pulled out ahead of time from my stash. The invitations I printed had this colorful chevron pattern at the bottom which didn't match my color scheme so I covered it up with a strip of patterned paper. After adding my patterned paper strip and embellishments I still thought the invitations looked a little plain so I pulled out a new planner stamp set from SRM Stickers called Birthday Plans and stamped some of the adorable little Birthday images down the left side. Planner stamps are always great for little projects like this. If you don't want to print your invitations like I did SRM Stickers offers some fun clear invitation stickers in the shop HERE.

Love all the fun icons on this stamp!  And that "hooray!" was perfect for my mini card!

I created this cute little matching Thank You gift with one of SRM's Clear Mini Boxes along with the same patterned paper I used for my invites, pink ribbon, and a square Thank You sticker from SRM's Sentiment/Thank You sticker sheet. Of course what is a Thank you gift with out some kind of fun treat. I filled my little treat box some mini sweet candies but you could add any kind of home made treat. Easy peasy right? 

I hope you enjoyed my project today! Thanks for visiting!

The Lord is My Light Cards by Christine

Of all the new stamp releases, I think "The Lord is My Light" is my favorite!  There is just something about sunshine and light that lifts your spirits and makes you smile.  Christine joining you today and I have two cards for you using this set!

The set comes with several phrases as well as sunshine icons to accompany.  I created a background using orange and yellow ink with the various sunshines.

This verse is all one piece in the set  I love the mixture of fonts to make it visually interesting!  I stamped it and then mounted it on patterned paper.  I used some yellow gelatos to ink up the background and then added my cross and verse on top.

I used a similar background for my second card but didn't fill the whole thing with stamping.  Instead I left room for my sentiment!

After stamping my sentiment I used the yellow gelato again but with a softer touch than my previous card.  I also decided to add in some brown crosses to break up the orange and yellow a little.  The cross came from the Trust in the Lord set.

Do you have a stamp set that you are just loving?  Share your projects with us on Facebook and Flickr! We love to see your creations!

Merry Christmas by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here! 

Well, we all know how fast time keeps going by, right?! ;) With that being said, there's nothing like gearing up for Christmas and starting to make your Christmas cards! (or in my case, 'a' card meaning just one card. lol)

Keeping with my CAS style, I started with adding a little strip of patterned paper to the left side of my card. After, I did some quick and easy die cutting for my fancy holly leaves using gold glitter paper. I then used tiny pieces of foam tape on the back and added it to my card. 

Once done, I added my sentiment on a piece of wood patterned paper, along with a strip of white lace underneath it. After I placed it on my card. And to finish things off, I added a few sequins. 

So what do you think?!...I'd love to know! :)

Happy Fall by Tanya

Hello everyone!  Tanya here today to share a sweet fall gift idea with you.  Fall has to be my favorite season of the year and I love creating and sharing small gifts to celebrate this wonderful, colorful time of the year. I really love the way this one turned out:

Doesn't that make you ready for Fall?

I started with the 6 X 4.5 inch Kraft Box.  After assembling my box, I inked up the edges with brown ink. Next, I cut panels of printed paper just slightly smaller than the sides and top of my box. I inked up those edges also and used a one inch circle die to create the notch on the front panel. I stamped the word "happy" onto the front panel in brown ink using the BIG Birthday stamp set.

After adhering all the panels, I wrapped this fabulous burlap ribbon around my box (I love the texture it adds).  Next I added the word "Fall" and those pump pumpkins that I cut out on my Silhouette.

I love the size of this Kraft Box!  My full sized candle, a tube of lotion and a small hand sanitizer all fit perfectly! 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a great day and I'll see you soon.

 

2017 Desk Calendar by Melanie

Hello! Melanie here today to share one of my favorite things -- SRM Calendar stickers! They are so cute and perfect . . . and I love calendars :)

I used the 2017 Decorative Mini Calendars to put together this desk calendar I can use at work. 

Having something small and as a quick reference is very handy for me. And if it is cute, it is an extra bonus!

For each month I used 3x4 inch cards (I have a TON of these in my stash). Then I added the calendars and an embellishment.

The SRM Sticker Stitches worked beautifully to add a finishing touch. They come in several different colors to add a fun pop to your projects.

I used my binding machine and 1/2" coils to connect each of the month pages together. Because it fans out, it sits really nicely on it's own.

This calendar is for me . . . but I can definitely see myself making more for gifts :)

Enjoy your day!

8 x 8 Calendar by Tobi

Hi there. It's Tobi here with a quick calendar project. Now, you might be thinking, how can a calendar be "quick"? Well... hehehe... If you only do one month at a time it is!! One reason I got away from scrapbooking is it took me too darn long to finish a layout - and that's when I moved to other, smaller things.

Which brings me to my calendars! I like to do one month at a time, that way I have a pretty calendar all the time, and because I'm doing it throughout the year, I'm constantly changing products and techniques. AND let's face it, it's quick and easy just doing one month!!

I used a whole bunch of SRM goodies on this month! 

An important aspect (for me) when doing a calendar is to get the right patterned papers for the month. These are some old Cosmo Cricket papers I've been hoarding and they are perfect for fall!

I added a whole bunch of stickers to the right panel like a kind oflist. Then to the left are some stamped leaves on grey card stock. 

I don't have a lot planned for October yet (besides a quick trip down to Hong Kong) and a Hallowe'en party, but I'm sure I'll fill it up with more Planner Icon stickers soon! 

That's all for now! Thanks for joining me today.

Geometric Desk Calendar by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today to share a project using the 2017 Mini Calendar Stickers. I got the crazy idea that it might be kind of fun to have a 12 sided 3-D shape to put my calendar on. Here's what I came up with for a geometric desk calendar. 

The official name for this type of shape is a dodecahedron. Creating one is pretty simple. You start by cutting 12 circles from card stock. You'll also need a pentagon that fits exactly inside the circle. You use the pentagon as a guide for scoring lines onto your circle. 

 The picture above shows the shapes I'm talking about.

You can see one of my 12 circles on the far left (above) with the pentagon template sitting on top. In the center you see how the circle gets scored around the pentagon template. Finally, on the far right is the finished piece. 

After scoring all 12 sides, I added a calendar sticker from the 2017 Standard Mini Calendar sticker set (but the 2017 Decorative Mini Calendar sticker set would work great, too!) and a coordinating seasonal icon sticker from the Calendar Companion sticker set to each circle. 

Once I had all of my pieces decorated, I just had to adhere them together with a nice strong adhesive. I chose to fold my tabs out, so my geometric shape has "petals". If you want a cleaner shape with flat seams, just fold the tabs to the inside of the dodecahedron instead of the outside.  

I can't wait to use this fun, interactive geometric desk calendar when 2017 rolls around! Where would you put a calendar like this?  And by the way….what a great gift this would make!  

Bible Journaling - Watercolor Twist Background - by Karen

Hello!  Karen here with you today playing with Watercolor Twist Pencils in my study journal. 

My page today is in my summer study journal. In Nehemiah chapter 9, God's people gathered to hear God's Word read to them and they confessed their sins and renewed their commitment to keep convenant with God. Despite the number of times they turned their backs on God (Nehemiah describes those times in sad detail) God continued to keep His promise and time and again granted them mercy and grace. As I was reading it struck me how they were saved purely by grace - not their own obedience. On this page I wanted to journal a prayer of thanks to God for his amazing grace and his wild love for me! No matter my own failings in obedience, He continually calls me back, forgives me, and helps me through His Holy Spirit to be a better me.

To help illustrate my gratitude, I created this fun and colorful background using the ColorIn Watercolor Twists. Have I mentioned how much I love these twistable watercolor pencils? So many ways to use them and such great color. The background is super quick and easy. I created a video for you to show you exactly how to create your own for your next bible journaling page or cards. Gather up: Watercolor Twists, a small plastic sheet (the backing to your SRM Faith stamps is great!), water, and a brush and play along with me!

After my background was dry, I added a few rows of washi tape on the left side and a couple of printouts that came with my bible study. Then I turned to my SRM stamps. I used several stamp sets on this page (listed below). Yes, I did cut the BIG "thank you" so that it would fit on my page. So many great choices to create just the right sentiment on your bible journaling page - it's fun to mix and match from the different sets.

For this project I used:

ColorIn Watercolor Twist | Faith Stamps "Trust in the Lord"| Faith Stamps "BIG Trinity" | Sentiments Stamps "BIG Thank You" | Faith Stamps "God is Love"

Pumpkin Patch Fall card by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here today with a fun Fall card. 

I'm in awe thats is fall, and we have all things fall to look forward to! I'm having fun with watercolor paper and stamps, all the beautiful fall hues melting into the paper! The Autumn Blessings stamp set is one of my favorites and tends to be the first one I reach for when I think fall!

I used a watercolor paper, and a slightly wet brush to "smudge" the leaves in the background, I added a few accents with Marvy Color In Watercolor Pencils for the pumpkin stems and leaf edges. So easy to feel like a real artist! A simple bow made from cream cord, adds just the right amount of softness and texture to finish the card. 

Now to enjoy all things Pumpkin spice!
