Project Helper with Clear Containers by Shanna

Hello SRM friends!  This is Shanna here today sharing with you an "outside the box" way to use utilize SRM's fabulous clear containers!  

I have been coloring an awful lot here lately, and I tend to get distracted or interrupted easily (a.k.a. KIDS!) and then forget which exact colors were being used on my current project.  Especially frustrating if I am wanting to duplicate a card or need to touch up a spot I had to walk away from momentarily!  

SRM to the rescue! 

I used SRM's clear mini box and Tall Thin Box to create not only a spot to hold my markers while using them on a project, but a spot for my water brush too!  YAY for organization!  I grabbed a scrap piece of SRM Vinyl in black to make some cute labels for my containers and Voila! I have a small obsession with script fonts and just loved how this turned out....the font is called "Hello Gorgeous" for my fellow font aficionados.  

I decided last minute to adhere some sticky back velcro dots to make the boxes removable from the container that holds all the colors.  I like that I can just have the little boxes on my workspace if I want, as my workspace *shrinks* the longer I create! 

  

Supplies used:

SRM Clear Mini Box

SRM Tall Thin Box

SRM Vinyl- Black

SRM Vinyl transfer paper

Silhouette Cameo

Sticky back Velcro dots

Let me know what you think!

Is there anything you could use some help organizing?

Personalizing Containers with Vinyl by Samantha

Hello! Samantha here today to show you 3 different ways to personalize SRM containers with vinyl. This is a super easy and fun way to take your packaging up a notch. 

All you'll need is an SRM clear container or one with a window (like the kraft box on the bottom), some vinyl (I used matte vinyl, metallic vinyl, and holographic vinyl, but any SRM vinyl will work), and a way to cut vinyl (I used a Silhouette Cameo).  

You can get into the wedding spirit by personalizing wedding favors or a wedding gift box. A gift card will fit perfectly inside one of these clear rectangular boxes. Layering metallic vinyl give the packaging a fancy look. 

Add initials to a box for the perfect packaging for a graduation, birthday, or Father's Day gift. You can use the recipient's school colors or favorite colors, too!

Or, you can just go ahead and add the recipient's full name. Add their nickname and a bit of holographic vinyl to really make it pop. I created the above container with my 3 year old niece in mind! 

Weather it's a special occasion, a holiday, or a just because gift, you'll be ready to add a little extra pizazz to your packages with some SRM vinyl. 
 

Happy Thanksgiving! Throwback Thursday!

Happy Thanksgiving to our USA readers! We hope your holiday is filled with family and joy. Sharing just a few projects for you today...  These are projects from the past but such fun and easy to create even last minute for your table.

Susan altered a treat container using Marvy's Border Punch System and SRM Stickers to give as a special gift;

And here's a wonderful idea for paper napkin rings by Deana Boston . Deana also used Marvy's Border Punch System.

Have a wonderful holiday, we'll see you again on tomorrow! 

Walk with Jesus Card Set by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here! 

Today, I'm sharing a simple and fun card set with you!

This card set came to me when I was looking through my SRM Stickers clear stamps. Lately, I've been doing a lot of 'make your own background' on my cards, so I thought I'd do the same with these. 

I used the arrow from SRM Stickers Walk By Faith stamp set and randomly stamped them on my card base. After, I added my sentiment pieces from the same set, in the center of my card. I did this for all my cards, using different colors.

One of things I love is the fancy/script writing, though as for me actually writing like that...not happening. lol But with these clear stamps that offer fancier or even bold words, I simply traced over the word with a gold pen and ta-da...done. :) 

To finish my card set off, I bundled them all together using a piece of white lace. After I placed the set in a clear container. Simple, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Holiday Treat Containers by Samantha and Melanie

Today we have a special treat!  Actually 2 special treats!  Samantha Taylor and Melanie Jarocki both have ideas for last minute treat projects.  You will have plenty of time to create them!  

Let's take a look at Samantha's project first...

Hello! Samantha here with you today sharing a holiday treat container with a surprise. Years ago we started to find unique and sometimes silly ways to give my nephews money for birthdays and Christmas. Today I'm sharing how I used some fun SRM containers to come up with this year's Christmas gift. 

These may look like simple candy containers made from the Small Clear Take Out Box and the Clear Rectangular Box, but they hold a secret inside. 

I put their Christmas money in a Tiny Tube...

then I nestled it inside one of the clear boxes and filled in all the space around the tube with their favorite candy. 

I finished off my treat boxes with stickers from We've Got Your Sticker Merry, We've Got Your Sticker Plus Christmas, and We've Got Your Border Christmas. I really love the seamless look of the clear stickers on the clear boxes! 

I put the finishing touches on the boxes by creating tags from Labels By The Dozen Christmas Greetings. I think this holiday treat container with a surprise is going to be a really memorable gift this year. How do you like to make giving money a fun surprise?

And now here is Melanie's project....

(To the tune of Jingle Bells . . . ) “Oh what fun it is to craft with S-R-M stickers!”

Seriously, when I was introduced to SRM stickers over 5 years ago, it felt like I held the winning lottery ticket to crafting. I love that I can sit down to make a project--clean and simple, embellished, or artistic--and it turns out looking great. 

These Christmas treat bags were pretty quick to make and are a festive way to share holiday cheer. I used one sheet of stickers, embossed kraft bags, punched scallop circles, and twine.

The Christmas Tree stickers are a 1-¾” circle and fit perfectly inside the 2” punched scallop circles. The clear stickers are seamless on the chevron embossed bags. I love how well-thought-out these products are :)  Securing the treat bags closed with twine is a nice finishing touch.

What a sweet way to share treats during the holidays!

Happy Halloween by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here! 

Can you believe how fast time just keeps going on by?!...Before we know it, it'll be fall and you know what that means...Halloween! Heehee. :)

So, today I'm sharing a fun Halloween treat container. 

You can easily fill it with whatever you like! Candies, little spider rings, mini glow sticks, etc. The possibilities are endless! ;) 

*Confession: I would have filled my container with some chocolates...though, they have seemed to 'disappear'. lol*

I decided on doing something nice and easy. Especially since things can be a little hectic around this time of year. I started with adding my sentiment stickers to different colored cardstock and patterned paper. Afterwards, I cut them into little banners. (For my big 'Happy Halloween' sticker, I simply stuck it onto one of SRM Stickers large punched pieces.)  After, I assembled everything together and then added it to my container. 

Easy peasy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Spring Themed Containers by Angi

Hello SRM fans! Angi here to share a spring-themed gift idea with you. It's a fun way to spread some sunshine to your family and friends too. I mixed and matched several SRM products for this one.

I love SRM Clear A2 containers and wanted to dress one up! I first added some of the 2" x 10" white lace around my box. I then used a die cutter to make a circle and butterfly shape. I layered them in the center of the lace. I also added a sentiment to the bottom of my box using the Sticker Sentiments - Spring collection.

You could also use these as party favors for a spring-themed event. Your guests would just love one!

Be sure to check out the SRM Store for more spring themed products. And for more crafty inspiration check out the SRM Facebook page!

St. Patrick's Day Favor Box by Amy

Hello!!  This is Amy here to share a fun favor treat box with you using the awesome Clear Clover Treat Box.  We always have a fun St. Patrick's day here at our house.  My oldest daughter was born on St. Patrick's day and she loves to celebrate her birthday with green.  I thought it would be fun to throw together a fun treat box for her and some for her friends this year.

I used the Bright Blank Labels by the Dozen on the treat container and added some more stickers from  We've Got Your Sticker - Happy to jazz it up and also for the "happy birthday" at the bottom of the container.  I also added a row of Christmas Sticker Stitches in green.

The container is filled with Chocolate Mint M&M's (my daughter's favorite flavor combination).....perfect for the green theme.  I finished off the container by tying some Peapod bakers twine from The Twinery around the top of it.  This container would be fun any way to decide to decorate it up!!

Do you have a special way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Hope that this project has inspired you to an a treat box to your celebration!

Have a great day!

Egg-stra Special Treat Box by Shantaie

Hello to all of you who are thinking of spring! Its not that far away, and with it comes my favorite, Easter time! Soft velvety shades of  pinks and blues, greens and yellows everywhere.  Oh how I love spring! 

Create a pretty gift to give, or to pop into an Easter basket using our small clear tote, it's the perfect size for 2 egg shaped lip balms in pretty pastel hues. 

I cut a piece of patterned paper 3 5/8"X 9" and scored it at 1" and 3" for the insert. simply pop it in and add a bit of shred or Easter grass and the lip balm. Close and embellish.

Here I have used a coordinating border topped with the new little borders in baby blue and a few little stickers from the express yourself Easter sheet.

The top is a SRM 4" doily folded in half and topped with another sticker greeting from Say it with stickers Easter and a grouping of vertical banners, bakers twine  and a bow topped mini clothes pin.  This is so pretty and cheerful in person, and a fun plus useful gift to receive!
 What are you planning to put in your Easter containers this year? The clear tote can be used for any number of little gifts for boys and girls, just change the colors and add your own style to the box, how cute would this be with iced cookies or little cars in it? 
 Thanks for stopping in, Shantaie. 

Christmas Clear Triangle Box Container by Shantaie

Hi Friends, Shantaie here. I'm excited to be back today to share a fun container for your Holiday gifting. I do so love a versatile product like this clear triangle box that can be almost anything you want it to be. I've chosen a classic iconic Christmas tree. 

A banner greeting made with Christmas Sitckers by the Dozen is almost as sweet as the white chocolate pretzels inside! 

A sparkling star topper trimmed with a itty bitty tag and sticker from the Christmas Sitckers by the Dozen sheet, tied on with a double twine bow.

I don't know about you but I love the making of treat containers, especially when there a little bit leftover that won't fit into the container ;) that i get to keep for me! 

Clear Container Christmas Ornament by Juliana

Hello SRM Fans, it's Juliana here and today I'm sharing a fun and festive Christmas ornament that you can easily create using some of your favorite SRM Stickers Clear Containers. As you will see, gift boxes aren't just for gifts!

To create this ornament, I selected the Box Rectangle Clear Container. I then poked a hole in the center of the lid and tied a piece of twine to use for hanging the ornament after I was finished decorating it.

Next, I placed a small bottle brush tree inside the box and glued it to the bottom of the box. To give it a more festive feel, I added some faux snow and glitter.

After closing the box, I added a couple of border stickers from the We've Got Your Border / Christmas set. The final touch was the addition of a red bow to the top of the box.

I always love creating Christmas ornaments. They make wonderful gifts that both family and friends can treasure for years to come!

Merry Christmas!

Juliana
