Hello by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here.

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

I started with my card base, which I made longer than the standard size (to be sure my sentiment piece would fit). After, I stamped on my cacti in greens and added a flower to my little one, then some faces. 

Once done I added my sentiment sticker to a piece of kraft cardstock and added it to my card. To finish things off, I added a touch of jute twine. Simple, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Hello Spring Layout by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today to share a special layout.

I love spring! The buds and blooms and return of little critters make for awesome photos. You know what else I love? Combining all kinds of SRM goodies in a layout with those photos! My daughter found this little friend while out playing in the garden a couple years ago and of course I wanted to document the experience.

This layout includes lots of Sticker Stitches throughout. I also grabbed pieces from various sheets - like the white flowers from a Thank You themed set, the "be happy" sentiment from a pastel borders set, and the sticker sentiment layered over the top photo from a school themed set. 

Even though my set of mini monthly calendar stickers is from 2017, I still used it to mark the date on these 2015 photos.  I put my sticker on top of a 3 x 4 card from my stash and circled the specific date of the photos. I wrote the year off to the side. This makes a great large embellishment as well as a creative way to document the date of my layout photos. Thinking outside of the box with your stash of stickers really multiplies the size of your stash!

Another great way of adding layers is with the little doilies. I used some watered down acrylic pink paint to coordinate them to my layout and then layered them behind my photos and date card. The way they curl up slightly from the paint adds a fun dimension to the layout, too.

Don't limit yourself to use themed stickers for their original purpose. Many have multiple uses and can be used in all sorts of fun ways on a layout, cards, or other project. How will you use yours?

For this layout, I used:

Mini Calendar stickers | Express Yourself School stickers | 4" white Doilies | We've Got Your Sticker Hello | Sticker Stitches | Stickers by the Dozen Thank You | We've Got Your Border Pastel

Thanks for dropping by!  Come see us again soon.

Simple Card Sets by Shantaie

Hello!  Shantaie here with you today to share some ideas for quick cards.

Some days what we need is a quick card to go, or better yet a quick set of cards at your fingertips!  I'm famous in my circle for being late...(fashionably or otherwise) and these cards a real lifesaver for those times that I have got to get out the door! 

I started with a beautifully simple white card base and embossed each one with an embossing folder.I punched a 1 3/8" circle in the lower right corner and placed a round sticker on the inside of the card. I added the matching sentiment, and wrapped a length of striped twine to make a bow.

To make the set complete I placed four envelopes, and my cards into a clear card box, and added a folded 4" doily and a sticker sentiment border along the top.

When you have such a pretty and simple set of cards ready to go or ready to give, life is truly good!!! 

Hello Card & Gift Bag by Amber

Hello SRM Sticker fans! It's Amber here, today I have a fun colorful floral card and matching gift bag to share. 

I paired a "Hello" sentiment stamp, a fun mint polka dotted patterned bag, and a super cute clear white sentiment sticker from SRM with some stamps in my stash to create my card and matching gift bag.

I started my card by folding an A2 sized pink card base and die cutting two pierced rectangles out of some white cardstock. I set my pink card base aside and started my stamping. I randomly stamped my layered flower images in some colorful mini Tsukineko Inks and some mini metallic Encore Inks. Before adhering my stamped panel I laid it over my pink card base and traced around the inside die cut rectangle so I could see where to emboss my sentiment. I removed my stamped panel and set it aside to heat emboss my sentiment. Once my sentiment was heat embossed I adhered my stamped panel to my card base.

I thought it would be fun to create a matching gift bag to go along with my card so I pulled out a mint colored bag with a large polka dot pattern printed on it, added some white ribbon, and a two layer tag. I stamped the bottom tag to match my card and then layered a second tag die cut out of vellum over it. I added a white clear "Thanks" sticker to the middle of my vellum tag and then tied both tags to my gift bag with some white ribbon.

Love.Joy.Peace.Patience.Kindness by Shelly

Hey y'all! Shelly, here! 

Today I'm sharing a simple and sweet set of cards with you! 

I started with making my cards. Which I chose use a kraft cardstock base, along with SRM's Just Believe stamps. I stamped the 'sentiments/border' to go around my card and then stamped the flower in the middle. After I used markers with the blender pen to color my flowers. 

Once done, I added envelopes to my set of cards and used some white jute burlap twine to hold it all together. 

I then placed the set in a glassine bag and added it inside a kraft window box. Next, I added some burlap ribbon around the box. To top things off, I added a white doily with a sticker and piece of jute burlap twine. 

A quick and sweet little set of cards, don't you say?!...

Hello Muslin Bag by Cassonda

Hello!  Look who has dropped in on us today to share a wonderful DIY project using SRM's Muslin Bags and some stickers!  It's Cassonda Tadlock who was on our team last year, and I love her style! 

For this project Cassonda used one of SRM's Muslin Bags  sprayed it with 3 different colored mist sprays, let it dry and them embellished it.  SRM's clear stickers are perfect for this project.  They melt down into the bag. 

Cassonda added 2 large green beads to the string end of the bag and she had a wonderful little bag to give to a friend who had recently helped her out.  Her friend loved it!  Who wouldn't?

Here are the SRM products that Cassonda used.  Just click on the image to find more details.

These bags are perfect for gifts, treats or just because!  What would you do with them?

A Masculine Hello by Lorena

Hi there, friends! It's Lorena today with a masculine card using the awesome BIG stamps by SRM. I know many crafters struggle when it comes to making a card for a masculine recipient, so I hope you'll be inspired by this idea.

I went clean, simple and graphic for this card. That fantastic huge sentiment takes center stage and makes all the work for us! It comes from BIG Hello stamp set.

See those graphic chains? They're made by stamping twice and offset one of the companion stitches stamps from BIG Birthday stamp set.

After that, I simply colored the resulting chain with Copic markers in bright, bold colors.

As I said before, the stamps did all the work here, so I decided to add minimal embellishments: just a few enamel dots, not blingy blingy and perfect for a guy!

So, that's it from me today. Thank you for visiting!

BIG Hello by Michele

Good morning! Michele here with a bright greeting! 

I used one of my new "go to" stamps called, BIG Hello!  First off, I water colored the background and them embossed it to give it a bit of texture.  Then I splattered it a bit with black water color. I really wanted the sentiment to pop, so I stamped it on a transparency with black Staz On ink.

I adhered the transparency to the background using clear adhesive.  I added a few coordinating rhinestones and some fun ribbon to finish it off!

 

Thank you for visiting today! And come back soon for more SRM inspiration!

BIG Hello by Michele

Hi there friends! Michele here with a fun water colored card to start  your day! 

I absolutely adore this new stamp set called, BIG Hello!  I love that the sentiment takes center stage here.  

I used water colors to create the background, using shades of blue, green, and touches of black. 

When the paint was dry I spritzed it with gold spray.  The sentiment was stamped in Versamark along with the stamped stitching underneath it, and embossed in gold.

 

I tucked gold glitter leaves under the sentiment, added ribbon and twine, and a scattering of gold sequins to finish the card off.

Thank you so much for making us a part of your day!
