Sweet Tile Class

How about using pure tumbled tile for stampin on tile. That's what we did at this weeks stamping class. Tile Coasters make a terrific gift or gift basket. Add a basket, some napkins, glasses and bottle of wine and you have a first class gift that would be good for almost anyone!

These tiles are "thirsty" and will accept the condensation from your glasses. Just stamp, color and bake. With craft ink, you can set it and forget it! LOL The heat from the oven sets the color into the stone and you have some really fabuous coasters. Ask me how!

Sensational Swaps! Jill M.

I love to color my images in, and sometimes I think it's more of a challenge to leave some of the image blank, spotlighting what is important in the picture. I really love this card because the flowers are colored and it's just enough. I think if it was colored, more it would be less effective. Awesome Card Jill!

Sensational Swaps! Michele G

Another Fabuous Swap! this one is by another of my talented downline Michele G. I love the window she made with our punches! Way to go Michele!

Accessories: Ribbon Slide, Crystal Effects, Reinker
Techniques: crystal effects on paper and hardware? not sure that's a technique LOL

Celebrate Rubons

Yes, ANOTHER rubon card. I thought i was being sneaky... See... This is a 4 1/4" square card, which means it fits the regular issue Stampin' Up! medium envelopes and even though it would have a little room in there it would not require extra postage.

You may not be able to see it from the photo, but the rubons look FLAWLESS on the whisper white textured cardstock. So pretty.

BUT WAIT A SECOND! I HAD to add that pretty thick button on there.. (stamped with the build a flower set that i'm loving these days) and i made the card more than 1/4 inch thick... so i'll have to pay the extra postage anyway.... Oh well. I really do like square shaped cards and I think i'll be making more of this size in particular. Too cute!

Only a week left to get these gorgeous rubons. Sale-A-Bration ends next Monday.
