Check out the great Christmas Gift Idea

This was the favorite project we made at the Christmas Gift class.  I bought the Chiaro Natural Stone  tiles at Lowe's.  Make sure to wash them at least a day ahead and let them dry.  I stamped with Black Staz On ink and sprinkled clear embossing powder and heated the stones for 3-5 minutes until the powder melted.  It takes 15 minutes or more for the tiles to cool again.  I added color by using Blendabilities markers and applying the ink with sponge daubers.  Applying the ink directly with the marker would probably ruin the tips in a short time since the tiles have rough spots.  Each tile looks very individual due to the natural tiles.  These are great thirsty stone drink coasters.  The ink is permanent and the tile soak up all the moisture from those sweaty drink glasses!

Christmas in July

I was very lucky this year at Convention winning a prize patrol of 2 items from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  It was so fun to be one of the first demonstrators to sit down and use this super cute Santa set called Get Your Santa On #135761 for $15.95 in photopolymer.  It will be available for customer purchase on August 28th.  I also used a new border punch Confetti Stars #135861 $21.95 also available on August 28th.  I colored the images with Cherry Cobbler and Smoky Slate Blendabilities.  Check back in the next few days and see other cards I designed with this new set.

 

Stamped the image on Garden Green Cardstock and cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals.
