Tumbled Tile Coaster Set

Several weeks ago on Stamp TV, Gina K demonstrated how to make coasters using 4- inch square tumbled tiles. According to her video, you don’t have to heat set the ink or spray fixative on it. I got my tiles at Home Depot for a good price – nine tiles for less than $5.00. Make sure you get tiles that are unglazed because I found that out the hard way!

I stamped French Script with Black StazOn ink on the tiles and sanded them to make the words quite light. Then I stamped the butterfly and sunflowers. Using sponge daubers, I colored in the images with StazOn Mustard and Pumpkin. To do the leaves on the Sunflowers, I first stamped on a Post-It note and cut out a template. Small felt pads on the under side of the coasters keep them from scratching the table.

The gift box was made with two clear boxes, cut at four inches, glued together with redline tape. The sunflower die cut embellishment on the ribbon was made with the single sunflower die in the Spellbinders Edgeabilities Sunflower Garden set.
