Doily Layout by Yvonne

Yvonne Yam loves how SRM's 4" doilies are just the right size to use as a photo mat.  They look great on this mixed media project where Yvonne used stencils and mists.

Yvonne loves how the doilies are a very subtle way to add interest to your layout without adding bulk.  She used 2 wallet sized photos of her nephew.  Super cute!

And then she embellished her layout with lots of SRM clear stickers.  Love how she cut up the dots on the SRM Borders.  So fun and playful!

Here are the products that Yvonne used on her project: 

SRM 4" Doily

We've Got Your Sticker Hello 

Year of Memories 2014 

We've Got Your Border Baby Girl 

Express Yourself Everyday Life 

Thanks for the fabulous layout Yvonne.  Love the idea of using the doily as a photo mat!

Patriotic Pillow Box by Shelly

Shelly Kurth can't get enough of the new Kraft Pillow Boxes from SRM!  She has created for us today a Patriotic box that could be used as a gift box or as a party favor for a 4th of July party!  And if you look closely, you can see that Shelley embossed her Kraft Pillow Box using a woodgrain embossing folder.  Yes, you can emboss these krafty boxes!  How fun! 

Shelly is loving the new Punched Pieces from SRM!  She used several colors (red and white) and all 3 sizes to mount her clear Patriotic SRM Stickers and then layered them and popped them up for extra dimension.  Punched Pieces come in 10 different colors and 3 different sizes.

Shelly added some Maraschino Red Twinery Twine and one of SRM's definition stickers to her pillow box and she's done! 

Super fun!  Super fast! And super cute!

You can use Shelly's idea for 4th of July or any holiday or occasion using Kraft Pillow Boxes, Punched Pieces, Twine and any SRM Sticker theme!  Thanks for the inspiration Shelly.  Your project is fab!

Love how so many of our design team members are using our new Punched Pieces.  It just makes their crafting so much easier.  No fuss, no muss, no tools.  Easy peasy!

Bundle of Joy Card by Laurel

Laurel Seabrook's daughter is expecting a baby girl in September and Laurel decided to make a darling onesie.  Not a real onesie, but a die cut card.  Adorable! 

Here's how Laurel made her darling card.

1.  Cut 2 files from plain cardstock to create the base.  

2.  Adhere them together along one side.  Laurel adhered hers along the shoulders.  

3.  Then she created the card front using SRM's We've Got Your Border Baby Girl design and Take 2: Stickers by the Dozen Baby to create the "stripes".  

4.  Then she embellished it with some Buttercream Twinery Twine.  YUM! 

Not that's simply too cute!

Celebrate Independence Layout by Juliana

Juliana Michaels creates the most wonderful layouts and she really enjoyed creating this 4th of July scrapbook page using SRM Stickers for her title and accent pieces. 

Juliana placed some SRM clear stickers on patterned paper and used one of them as her "CELEBRATE" title.  

She also placed some on white cardstock to use as accent pieces.  

Juliana then add Twinery Twine and a mini clothespin to further embellish the tag. 

Hooray for Juliana's wonderful patriotic page.  Here are the products that she used:

It's in the Bag! by Roberta

For a summer garden party, Roberta Rosi has created some krafty cutlery holders using SRM's small kraft bags measuring 4" x 6 3/4" as containers.  

Roberta embossed the bottom of the kraft bags with small dots.

She decorated the top of the kraft bags with SRM 4" doilies folded in half.  Roberta loves SRM doilies.  The are great for so many uses.  They could even be a coaster to set drinks on at the party.

Roberta decorated each doily with a small die cut butterfly and one sticker from SRM's Live Life Cooking series.  

 And at the bottom of each bags she added Caribbean blue baker's twine. YUM!

Love how Roberta added coordinated napkins and straws in with her utensils.  Totally fab!

I'm going to be CASing this project for a summer family party we have each year.  Thanks for the inspiration Roberta!  Love this idea!

Thank You Card Sets by Michelle

Michelle Giraud has been having fun playing with the new Take 2 Stickers from SRM!  She loves how each sheet has 12 circles and 4 12" borders for making lots of card sets.   Today we feature 2 different sets both using the same sticker, the Thank You Take 2 Stickers by the Dozen.  Michelle said that the variety of stickers on this sheet made it easy to create cards with different looks.  Love them both! Here's the sticker she used. 

The first set Michelle created is so pretty and sweet pairing pink and blue Punched Pieces for mounting her stickers and SRM's 4" white doilies.  These cards were designed to used No. 6 3/4 security envelopes that measure 3 5/8" x 6 1/2".  She loves to use this size since they are less expensive that A2 envelopes and offer a different card shape from the norm.  

Using a 3 1/2" x 6 card size, Michelle gets 3 card bases out of a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.  Simply cut at 7", then cut that piece in half so you have 2 pieces measuring 6" x 7" to fold in half for a long, short card.  The remaining piece can be cut to 3 1/2" x 12" and folded in half for a tall card.  Michelle loves the variety of shapes and sizes.  

Love all the different ways that Michelle used her doilies!  The one doily cut in half to make it look like it wraps the card.  The one below is folded in half to give a bit of dimension to the card.  {{SIGH}}

And love how Michelle decorated her envelopes using the borders on the Take 2 Sticker sheet.

For her second set of cards, Michelle used a bold color scheme but used the same stickers.  Instead of the pink thank you she used the teal.  She used bold orange Punched Pieces and used lots of borders from her Take 2 stickers to decorate both the cards and the envelopes.  

Love the bright, bold look of these cards and the simplicity of making them.

All you need is a bit of pattered paper and cardstock in blue and white.  The stickers do the rest of the work and the Punched Pieces minimize your work as well. 

Simply love this set.  Great idea Michelle!  With one sheet of Take 2 Stickers she's made 6 cards and enough stickers left over to make 6 more!  Or to use on a coordinated gift bag or box!

What would you do with your Take 2 Thank You Stickers?  You can always change up the theme and use other Take 2 Stickers to create cards for birthdays, holidays or just because!  See all the designs of Take 2 HERE.

Kraft Pillow Boxes by Yvonne

For the medium kraft pillow box, Yvonne stamped text all over it.  Then she added the Thank You Take 2 Sentiment mounted on a black Punched Piece.  

For the small kraft box, Yvonne used 4 small scalloped Punched Pieces cut in half to create a focal point.  She then added a sticker sentiment strip from the Take 2 Thank You design.  

What a fun and fabulous pair of pillow boxes.  So much fun!

Corri Garza took this SRM Summer Sticker Sentiment and she created 4 wonderful cards.  And she has enough stickers left over to make 20+ more!  Or add them to layouts or altered projects.  These clear Sticker Sentiments are so versatile! 

What a fresh and fun card this is with it's die cut clouds and sand castle and a touch of twine with a bright red button. 

This card makes you want to relax and enjoy the day with it's die cut clouds and bicycle and pretty green ribbon.  The SRM sentiment is perfect!

Thanks Corri for the sweet summer inspiration.  So refreshing!

Pirate Goodie Bags by Latrice

Today Latrice Murphy gets a little dirty and plays around with SRM's new Stenciling material.  It's easy to cut, adheres perfectly to stay in place while stenciling.  

Latrice created come pirate party goodie bags for her boys upcoming birthday party.  She could not believe how easy and fast these were to create.  She tried it on both burlap bags and muslin bags and she even created a video for us! 

First Latrice cut the skull and cross bones out using her Silhouette.

She affixed the stencil to the muslin bag.  The stencil material is repositionable and has adhesives the lasts with many repeated uses. 

She dabbed the bag with black ink.  

And the results are stunning!  Here's the muslin bag.

And here's the burlap bag.  Which one is your favorite?

Here's Latrice's stash of goodie bags for the party.  The boys will go on a treasure hunt and fill their bags with goodies and that will be their party favor and thank you gift for attending the party.  The "Thank You" sentiments Latrice used for the tag are SRM's Thank You Stickers by the Dozen.  Plus she used solid red twine to tie them on.

Here's the VIDEO.  Sit back, relax and enjoy. 

Vinyl Subway Art by Juliana

Subway art is all the rage and Juliana Michaels has created a fabulous project using SRM's Matte Vinyl and Transfer Tape.  Not only did she create this gorgeous project but she also created some digital cutting files just for you!  Go to Juliana's blog to get that digital file.  

The inside finished size of this project is 11" x 14".  Juliana cut the subway art from white matte vinyl and adhered it to the glass.  She then covered a piece of cardboard with burlap.  The cardboard was cut to 11" x 14" to fit inside the frame.

What a stunning project!  Juliana's husband loved it so much that he wants to hang it in his office.  Juliana thinks that she might have to make another one just for her! :)
