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.

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.

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! 

And for her second card, which is all about love, Jane features Seamus Sheep, one of my favorite of her stamp designs.  Don't you just adore him?  

Stay tuned for lots of stamping fun with Jane Beljo!  Welcome Jane.  We are so thrilled to have you here.

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:

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.

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



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.

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. 

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!

Thanks for dropping by for this sweet treat!  There's still time for you to make one of your own!

Love you this MUCH! by Annette

Annette here with you today to share a tube full of LOVE.

Today I am playing with SRM Stickers Mini Tube, We'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. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Crafting.

Chicken Wire Notice Board by Cathy A.

Hello!  Cathy here with a fun project that I've had in my head for some time.  It's a chicken wire wall hanging bulletin board, created from a photo frame with the glass and backing removed and chicken wire stapled to the back.  And lots of SRM Stickers!

Here's a list of materials I used:
 SRM Punched Pieces small teal and baby blue, Sticker Stitches Halloween, We've Got Your Sticker Hello, Say it with Stickers Triathlon, Express Yourself School, Year of Memories 2015, Mini Calendar 2015 standard, Kraft bags embossed, other Memento Luxe inks in Rich Cocoa and Bahama Blue, chicken wire, photo frame, twine, mini clothes pins and card stock.  

I inked the little pegs with memento luxe ink and when dry added Sticker stitches, love how these turned out!

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.

Some of the pegs were glued to the back of card and punched pieces and then stickers added to the front to add interest.

I love my new bulletin board!  And love how all my SRM Stickers made this project so much fun!

Glassine Valentine Goodie by Stacey

Hi there, SRM Stickers fans!

Stacey here today with a simply splendid Valentine packet using some sweet SRM Stickers products!

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.

I think this sweet goody package would make a perfect gift for a crafty friend!

Thanks so much for stopping by the SRM Stickers Blog today!

I hope you are inspired to create some Valentine goodies of your own.

Valentine Treat Bags by Cathy H.

Hello!  Cathy here today with something sweet for you!  Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I have a couple of sweet treat bags to share with you today!  I used two SRM embossed bags, one glassine and one kraft, both embossed with the Flourish design.  You can find the glassine one here!  I will be filling these with treats and little coupons, one for my husband and the other to send home to my parents!  I used a gorgeous Gold Lace Doily as a jumping point for my bag, then layered with a few Silhouette cuts!  I used gold metallic paper for the "sweet" and the hearts!  Perfect with the Gold Lace Doily.  I painted an SRM mini clothespin black, to hold the "sweet"!  These embossed bags are so pretty, that they really take very little to decorate.  Gotta love that.  Next, I added a pink paper strip to match the heart, layered with a border sticker from the Love Sticker Sentiments set, then a thin strip of the gold metallic paper and one more adorable heart border from the Valentine We've Got Your Border set!

Now onto the Embossed Flourish Kraft Bag.  I love working with all things Kraft colored, it just makes all your layers really pop.  Look how wonderful those layered doilies look against the Kraft background.  I used a 6 inch pink lace heart doily layered with a 4 inch Round White Lace Doily.  I added a punched circle of metallic gold for a little more pop and a chipboard heart.  I added two SRM Stickers to my tag with the little clouds from the Love Sticker Sentiments and then wrapped it with Caribbean Solid Twine!

The possibilities are endless with SRM Glassine and Kraft bags, so many sized and embossed patterns.  I will be making a couple more for the little people in my life too!

Valentine Banners Treat Bag by Lorena

Hello, SRM friends! Lorena here today and I'm so happy to be back on the blog after all the Christmas craze! Today I have an idea for decorating the SRM Kraft Bags so they are perfect for packaging a flat Valentine's treat or gift. I used the larger bag size with a coloring book or perhaps a tall Valentine's card in mind.

The first step was stamping rows of hearts with a light pink pigment ink. This kind of ink shows much better on kraft. I love the look of patterned kraft bags, and with the SRM kraft bags you can stamp your own custom designs! How fun is that? Hearts, chevrons, stripes, polka dots...
Once all the stamping was done, I created a bag topper with red cardstock and secured it to the bag with a bit of double sided adhesive tape on the inside of the cardstock. Use just a little strip, so the recipient can easily open the bag.

 With the topper in place, now comes the fun part: decorating it! I wanted to show you how versatile the SRM border stickers can be, so I used the We've Got Your Border/Valentine stickers in different ways and not just as borders. First, I adhered the lovely banners border to a piece of red cardstock, trimmed them and adhered on the topper. Next, I also adhered to a piece of cardstock the hearts border that comes in the same sheet and fussy cut just the hearts to decorate the banner. Cute!!!

Finally, I used another border to make the sentiment, and adhered Blossom baker's twine (pink and white) to the top of the banners so they appear to be "hanging" from the twine.  And there you have it! I hope this project inspires to give your SRM border stickers much more mileage. Oh, and anohter idea! This bag would be perfect to pack some stamped coloring sheets, and the new SRM clear stamps from Jane's Doodles are perfect for this! Just stamp a few sheets with different images and let them blank for the kids to color them :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
