Happy Friday everyone.. It is time for another Friday Focus over at Flourishes.
This week we are focusing on an altered project.. I chose to make a coaster.
I created several coasters.. The one above turned out the best. I did not
stamp on the coasters I stamped on white tissue paper.. Then used
Modge Podge and painted the coast with it and then carefully added
the tissue paper over the coaster. It becomes transparent then.. I carefully
smoothed out my paper and added another thin coat over top. When it was
dry I sprayed it with a sealer.. Very easy gift.
I used stazon ink and copics
for the floral one I did. I also printed on printed my son's picture
by taping a piece of tissue paper to a sheet of cardstock and running
it through the printer.. This was my Father's Day gift to my hubby. He
loved it.
are from Fanciful Flourishes. The florals are the trumpet vine from
Humming Along. I carefully colored it with my Copic Collections
Violet from Flourishes..
If you decide to try this be sure that your stazon ink pad is juicy.. :)
Otherwise your stamp will stick to your tissue paper. I purchased my tiles
from the local home improvement store.
Check out what the rest of the talented DT members created:
Hi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteFAB project. I love mode podge :)
That butterfly image is GORGEOUS! Love the sentiment too! Fabulous project!! I've always stamped right on to the coaster - will have to try this route some time.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous creations. I like them very much.
ReplyDeleteI wish you very nice weekend!
What a fantastic idea Dawn. I have done coasters before but have not mastered them...using the tissue is the answer I have been looking for. Thank-you for that tip! I love the one with your son...great Fathers Day gift.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome, Dawn - fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteDawn these coasters are so beautiful...great gift idea!!! Happy 4th of July weekend to you and your family!!! Hugs ~S~
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea with the tissue paper and coaster. I think they all turned out wonderful.
ReplyDeletewonderful and very nice gift
ReplyDeleteSuper great gift ideas, thanks for the instructions, Love the one with your son on it!!!
ReplyDeleteWow - this is FANTASTIC!! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThese turned out just beautiful, Dawn! I've never done coasters, but I'll definitely keep the tissue paper in mind. What a great idea! I'm sure the tissue paper principle could be used for other projects with an uneven surface, too. Gee, thanks for a great tip!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Dawn! I love the one of your son - such a thoughtful gift, so personal!
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn~
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to display your art! I love the one of your son...it is the perfect gift! Oh, wouldn't they make wonderful wedding party favors? A picture of the bride and groom? Maybe for the family and close friends attending! You are so sharp!
I have been planning on using this technique to attempt to make different coasters with matching set of cards for family members this year, for Holiday gifts. We'll see if it ever happens! LOL
You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your secret recipe for these coasters!
Have a wonderful and safe holiday!

Be still my heart. I read your directions and you fooled me that you didn't stamp right onto the title. I'm going to remember this and do what you did. TFS.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! You have set the wheels of my poor mind in motion! That could be dangerous! Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Are those ever gorgeous! Love these coasters, Dawn!
ReplyDeleteDawn, I so appreciate you sharing these. I went through quite a few tiles trying to get a good impression, this does sound like a better method. You can't tell they are mod-podged either! The one of your son is pretty terrific, too, what a great gift! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat great, personalized gifts these would be. I especially like the photograph one.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Dawn & would make a great gift :)
