Tumbled Tile Coasters

These tiles were designed for a Stamp Camp project. I used the 2-Step Stamp Set "A Rose is a Rose" and Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Regal Rose and Rose Red Classic Inks and just a misting of Triple Thick spray sealer.

How to Color Jumbo 5/8" Brads

These brads are really easy to color with any of Stampin' Up!s Craft Inks. All I did was take the brad and smoosh it into the craft pad (get a good coverage) then immediately dip into the Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder, using the tweezers from the tool kit to hold the brad while you heat with the Stampin' Up! heat gun to melt the E/P. You may emboss the brad a couple times if it seems like it needs more.
I am also submitting this card in the Late Nite Stampers challenge #7 for use of "one die and one punch".
Other products used were; Pink Flamingo DSP, Whisper White Card Stock, Apricot Appeal , Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Summer Sun Classic Inks, Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon, Sizzix Texture Pad (w/ Real Red), Top Note Die and the largest circle punch (1 3/4"), Thank You Individual Samp and the Embrace Life Stamp Set

This is one of the papers from the Flamingo DSP and I used the Flower #2 die from Sizzix to make several layers, sponged with Summer Sun and Almost Apricot, used a Build-a-Brad for the center and used 2-Way Glue Pen to highlight and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds also used Apricot and White 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbons

I took the giant white brads, smooshed them into the Summer Sun Craft ink then dipped into the Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder. These flowers just cried out for big yellow centers.
