Valentine Tubes by Susan


It's nearing that time of year -- time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. Here's a clever idea for a special and unique Valentine by Susan McShirley, Valentine Tubes! Susan filled her tubes with chocolates, and used Marvy Punches and our Quick Card Set, "{love}" stickers to embellish.









I'll be posting tube ideas every Friday - the inspiration is endless! Click HERE to purchase your tubes in our online store!

Guest Designer, Sarah Martina Parker


We are thrilled to have the divine Sarah Martina Parker as a Guest Designer on our Blog today. We have long admired Sarah's work and were excited to see what she'd do with SRM Stickers.



Hey y’all! Sarah here, and I’m so excited to be a guest today on the SRM Stickers blog! I guess you could say that paper-crafting is my first passion, but only if you don’t count my incredible family first. I joined the online craft community in December 2008, diving in “head first,” and I haven’t been able to stop since! Making cards is my favorite way to design, but I also enjoy creating scrapbook pages, altered items, gifts and more. I am married to my hero and best friend, Sie. Together we have a beautiful daughter, Sydney, and a fun-loving son, Sie, II. When I’m not lounging with them, I love getting my hands dirty in my hideaway craft room.

And here are Sarah's projects using SRM Stickers...what a beautiful set of holiday gift tags!







Thank you so much, Sarah. Please stop back by tomorrow for special card feature!

Gift Holder Tutorial by Carole Kisch

by Carole Kisch

Today I have a tutorial for you ~ a holiday gift bag that you can make using one piece of 12x12" patterned paper, two brads, and your favourite festive embellies. I used SRM Stickers; Winter Wishes #51009 and BasicGrey.



Step 1:
Choose a piece of 12x12 patterned paper. Score at 1, 5, 6, 7 and 11 inches.



Step 2:
Rotate your paper one quarter turn and score at 3-1/2 and 8-1/2 inches.



Step 3: Fold your paper at your 1-inch and 11-inch score lines, and at the 3-1/2 and 8-1/2 inch score lines. You will end up with a sleeve that looks like this...



Step 4: Fold along the 5, 6 and 7-inch score lines. Your middle line will form the inside peak of the gift bag...



Step 5: Attach two brads to the inside panels of the bag...



Add your sentiment...






Add your gift cards...



And you're finished!





Thank you, Carole! We have a special treat for you tomorrow -- Guest Designer, Sarah Martina Parker! You will love what she's done with SRM Stickers.
