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!!!

Every month, I hold a tecnhiques card class in my home on a Monday night! Tonight's class features embossing (wet and dry) and using liquid applique. PP- Daydream, CTMH CS- hollyhock, CTMH Ink- chocolate, hollyhock Stamp- Cupcake Sprinkles Wishes- card sketch book Using liquid applique- I applied over the top of the stamped cupcake frosting. Used a craft heater to heat, makes it puffy looking. Directions say to let it set for 24 hours then heat. You can do either- the result is slightly different when you wait. This card is completely scraplifted from Lisa Stenz (thanks!)
