Tile Coasters

I had a wedding shower to go to and needed something to give. I finally decided to give coasters a try. I had bought the tiles quite a while back (a year or two ago). These were simple to make, fun to do, and turned out beautifully.

The bride to be that I made these for has already told me that a couple of people have already asked her where she got them from. When she tells them a lady that she works with made them they don't believe her.

I am really wanting to have a class making these. They are easy and don't cost a lot to make. The great thing is they look like they were expensive. I have to be honest and say that I did not come up with this idea all on my own. There are a few people on Stampin' Connection that I was inspired from. I did not case what they did, but they were the ones that helped me come up with this idea.

I used the En Francais background stamp and the Just Believe stamp set. I also used black Staz On ink. As for the tag, it is made using the two tags bigz die and the big shot machine. I used the lacy brocade textured impressions embossing folder. The stamped image is also from the Just Believe stamp set and the sentiment is from the Pennant Parade stamp set. I use the flower from the boho blossom punch and a jewels basic rhinestone. I also added a cork square to the back of the tiles to keep them from scratching furniture. One more thing. I used 5/8" black grosgrain ribbon, which is retired.
I hope this inspires you to try to create some. I was very happy with how they turned out. Please leave a comment if you would like.

Now go-n-stamp!!

Tile with Rub-Ons

Wow!! I love how this tile turned out. I am planning on making some more. These would make wonderful gifts. I think I want to buy some stands to set them on instead of trying to make a ribbon hanger or using magnetic strips.

I once again used retired rub-ons (Love and Happiness), ribbon (soft sky), and cardstock (soft sky) to make this project. I have a hard time using current things when I need those for classes and workshops.

I love the shimmer paint!! I used the frost white on the butterflies, which made it look like I used metallic paper.

The first thing I did was put the rub-on onto the glazed tile, which is kind of a beige color. I used my new sizzix embosslit Beautiful Wings die (Occasions Mini Catalog) to make the butterflies. I love it already. I used soft sky cardstock then rubbed blue bayou classic ink on them with a stamping sponge. I sprayed them with frost white shimmer paint and allowed them to dry. To place them on the tile I used dimensionals and glue dots. I went around the edges of the tile with a stamping sponge that I put in blue bayou classic ink. The last thing I did was attach the soft sky ribbon. To help hold the ribbon in place I used glue dots underneath it.

You have to try this for yourself. You can use any rub-ons you may have and just use your imagination to fill it all in.

Take a minute to tell me what you think. I love comments!!

Now go-n-stamp!!
