DIY Seaside Notions Set of 4 Tile Coasters

Set of 4 Seaside Notions Tile Coasters

On Saturday I held a girls night out event at my house and we made gorgeous sets of coasters that you could keep for yourself or give away as an incredibly beautiful and thoughtful gift to someone special.  

I purchased the Chiaro 4" X 4" Tumbled Travertine Tile at Home Depot, they come in a sealed package of 9 - 4" square tiles.You need to wash the powder residue off and let dry then pick the smoothest 4 or 6 tiles to stamp on. You will also need some padding for the bottom of your coasters to protect your tables/desks etc...my own I used kiddie foam I cut to fit the bottom but for the class I purchased packs of different sized furniture padded felt circles with peel and stick on the bottom, they worked great.

Measurements and Supplies:

4 Tiles

4 Felt Circle Pads

Seaside Notions Stamp Set

Black Stazon Ink Pad

Stampin Write Neutral Markers

Scalloped Tag Topper

2" X 3" Soft Suede Cardstock

1-3/4" X 3" Very Vanilla Cardstock

Stazon Cleaner 

Jute twine

You can use any stamp set you like of course that will fit on your tile nicely. Practice on a scrap piece of paper for placement of images before you use on the tiles.

Pre Heat Oven to 250 Degrees

Stamp in stazon on tiles. 

Bake in a pre - heated oven for 20-25 minutes.

Remove and let cool.

Color with markers if desired

Put back into pre-heated oven for another 20-25 minutes.
While waiting for tiles to cool, decorate tag (make a matching card if you like if giving as a gift-in the blog search type in seaside notions for card ideas too))

Use punch for top of tag.
Tie twine around  your 4 pack of stacked tiles add tag and tie a bow.
There, now you have made an easy handmade set of tile coasters to compliment your decor or to gift to someone. Hope you enjoy.

Designer Series Paper - At a Glance

How to organize your12" x  12" DSP. 

Last year I went on a Kylie's "Love it Chop it" kick, that's where you cut you DSP into manageable/ usable sizes. 4" X  6", 6" X  6" etc. It was really a good way to make me see, and use more of Stampin' Up's beautiful DSP and not hoard it from year to year. 
However, I have come to the conclusion that from now on I will do that at years end! That's when our "NEW" for now (June 2019) will be replaced in the yearly  turnover...yep I mean the next 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. 
If you need help with quickly finding what color cardstock matches with that specific Designer Series Paper here is an awesome way to keep your colors and DSP together so you can find your match just by glancing at the color circles.
I think this will also be an awesome way too for us hoarders of paper to use it more often too.
I really love how Stampin' Up gives us coordinating colors on the back of the DSP packs but I need more than words. VISUALS work for me. So punching out the 1-1/2" coordinating color circles and putting them with my "DSP - At a Glance"works better for me.
I used my Open Office program to write all the DSP names and printed them out on Whisper White Cardstock
Woven Threads, Magnolia Lane, Garden Lane, Follow Your Art, Bird Ballad, Dinoroar, Perennial Essence, See a Silhouette, Come Sail Away, Pressed Petals, Mosaic Mood, and Noble Peacock.

Measurements and Supplies:

12 - 8-1/2" X 11" Whisper White Cardstock
1 - 4" X 2" of each design in your double sided paper pack 
1-1/2" Circle Punch. (cardstock craps to punch coordinating color cardstock. (Read the colors on the back of your Stampin' Up DSP)
Snail Permanent Adhesive.

Instructions:
1.  Print out your DSP names onto the 12 Whisper White Sheets of Cardstock.
2.  Pick your DSP Pack.
3. Cut a 4" X  2" piece of each double sided design, then cut those in two so you now have a 2" square of each front and back design of paper in your pack.
4. Read from the back of your DSP pack and collect scraps of colored cardstock large enough to cut your 1-1/2" circles. Write the color names on them.
5. Adhere front and back design side by side on left side and right side of Whisper White Cardstock like so.
     1-2                 3-4
     5-6                 7-8
     9-10              11-12
6.  Adhere circles down the center in a pattern that fits. (Some have more colors than others)
