Tumbled tile coaster

Materials used:
Bird on rail from The Angel Company’s All Things Nature
Black Staz-on ink
Dove blender pen
Painters tape
Unglazed tumbled tile
Cork circles
Matte finish spray
Pastel chalks
Heat gun

Directions:
Carefully clean the tumbled tile with a baby wipe. Dry thoroughly. Using the black
Staz-on ink, stamp the image on the front of the tile. Set the ink with the heat gun. Use the Dove blender pen to color in the image with chalks. Tape off the image with the painters tape and then seal just the image with the matte sealer. This will ensure the image doesn’t fade an that the rest of the tile that is not sealed in will still absorb the condensation from a glass. After it is dry, apply the cork circles to the back of tile to make sure it doesn’t scratch a table.

Floor laminate sample magnet

Materials used:
You rock boy from The Angel Company’s Kid Praises stamp set
Black Staz-on ink
Gingham ribbon
Acrylic paint
Matte sealer
Floor laminate sample (I got mine at Home Depot)
Small magnet
Heat gun

Directions:
Using Staz-on ink, stamp image on front of floor laminate sample. Run the heat gun over the image for a few seconds to set the ink. Color the stamped image with your choice of acrylic paints. Let dry overnight. Spray the image with matte sealer. Attach the gingham ribbon through the whole in the front of the laminate sample. Then attach magnet to the back.

Altered composition book

Materials used:
Butterfly from The Angel Company’s Bug me anytime set
Brown ink
1 3/8” square punch
1 sheet of tan cardstock
2 sheets of 12x12 paisley paper
2 sheets of 12x12 light brown paper
1 sheet of light pink (blush) cardstock
6 silver eyelets
6 bronze eyelets
sand paper
composition book
Crop-a-Dile

Directions:
Using a pencil, trace the front and back outside cover of the composition book on the backside of both pieces of paisley paper. Do the same thing with the light brown paper only trace the inside of the covers. Cut out the outlines you made of the covers. Using your choice of adhesive, attach the 2 inside covers to the composition book. Next take the outside covers and line them up against the black binding then attach. Take the sand paper and smooth around the corners of the composition book. It makes the book look better and gives the pages a nice aged look. Using the tearing ruler, tear off a piece of the blush cardstock. Make sure you tear it on the other side too. Cut to size to cover the black binding on the composition book. Before adhering the blush cardstock, attach the eyelets. I put 2 right together and then spaced the next group 1.5 inches from the first one. After you have all the eyelets in, attach the blush binding to the book. Be sure to just use adhesive on the edges of the blush binding not the middle. If you adhere the middle, the book will not open right. Using the square punch, cut 3 blush squares out and then 3 tan squares. Use the brown ink, stamp the butterfly on the blush squares. Adhere the tan squares so they look like diamonds. Then adhere the blush squares over the tan.
