The latest challenge at Scrappy Frogs is to stamp on something other than paper, which is just perfect for me, because……I have always wanted to try my hand at making tile coasters and I’m thrilled I did! It was, by far…the easiest project I've ever completed. Piece of cake. I found the tiles at Lowes. They came 8 to a box. After harassing the boxes, I found 8 of the smoother tiles and took them home….to my …. lab. ;)
I used a large French script stamp with Staz-On ink for the base of my tiles. After I let the background dry for mere seconds, I sanded it back down until it was barley visible. Next, I used the bird from Stampin' Up’s Always set. Using my Copics, I gave it just a bit of springtime color. Super EASY! The entire project took less than ten minutes! I might even see some tile coasters in your gift future!
Now it’s your turn! Head over to Scrappy Frogs and enter your project …quick!!! The winner of this challenge will receive an adorable apron compliments of Making Memories slice to wear while they are stamping on unconventional materials.

LOVE your tiles! Love them so much, I may have to pick up that stamp set and give it a try. After you stamped the tiles, you didn't put anything on top to seal it?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, Sheri! When should I expect them in the mail??? :O)
ReplyDeleteI sprayed mine with a clear acrylic, but only because I'm such a klutz and was afraid I'd spill coffee on them. As long as you use Staz-On, you should be fine. Good luck..I would love to see what you make and thanks so much for commenting too!

Great project! Would love for you to link up on my international blog party too! Sunday thru Tues @creativejewishmom.com hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up on Craft Schooling Sunday, hope to see you again next week! All the best to you in California, my homestate!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely!! I've played with this idea- decopaged a Christmas napkin on tiles this year that turned out cute. But, yours are so classy looking. I may have to invest in some stamps. By the way, I glued some cork on the backs- makes them much more user friendly on furniture etc. Felt would also work.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I told you how much I love these tiles if I didn't I'm telling you now!!! You rock girlfriend! I've left you a award over at my blog so when you get a chance head over and get it!!
ReplyDeleteI love how these turned out - I have been wanting to do this for FOREVER but didn't know what ink to get! Thanks for the tips on brands and such!
ReplyDeleteDid you clean the tiles with anything special before you stamped on them?
