Today I'm featuring Stamped Tile Coasters.  I searched and searched, read many tutorials and blogs looking for the best way to stamp on tiles.  The tiles I bought were tumbled (aka not smooth).  It was not easy to stamp on them due to its uneven surface, as well as the slippery surface.  I used Timber Brown StazOn ink with a few different stamp sets ( Western Flourish , Delightful Things , The Goodness of Life and my favorite:  Alfresco).  After stamping, I "baked" them in the oven at 300 for about 25 minutes to set the ink.  I added small felt feet on the bottom and wrapped them in sets of 4 for gift giving!  Get out your favorite stamp set, some Stazon Ink and start stamping some of your own tiles!!!
