I am in Heaven......

I have been wanting to try stamping on tile to create coasters for a while, however I didn't have the confidence in myself to try it. I ran across a different technique where you combine a specially printed picture with stamping. They turned out amazing. This was my first attempt at these (and I will be keeping these ones) so the pics aren't what I would normally use (heads won't be so cut off). I just got impatient to see if I can do it. I almost don't even want to tell you how easy they are to create and also very quick. I will be making these for Christmas presents for several people. The total cost for me was maybe $0.50 - yes fifty cents. I will put them into packs of 4, wrap them with a pretty ribbon and put them into a crafted holder that I will make. I can't wait to get these finished. PLEASE let me know what you think. Would you like to get one of these as a gift (or 4)? Is it is good gift idea or not?

  1. This is awesome and the technique super cool. I would love to receive coasters like this. You can put cork or some kind of pads under them so they won't scratch surfaces they are put on. Fantastic gift ideas too. WELL DONE!!

  4. Brenda - you have mail. Good luck with them (they are super easy once you get the pics printed). You'll have to show me how yours turn out.

  5. Janelle,

    These are wonderful! I have done coasters before but have never used pictures. I'd love to know how you do that!
