Coasters using Stampin Up DSP

 Welcome to my blog. I’ve been making products for up coming craft fairs. I decided to try something new. Coasters! I’ve seen them on Pinterest and because I have lots of DSP decided to try. I used a retired DSP and Pansy Petal DSP from the new catalog.

Materials and Directions 

I used:

The tiles were 4x4.I got them at Home Depot. I cut the DSP 3-3/4 x 3-3/4. Each tile is slightly different size so I measured before I cut the DSP.

I applied a layer of midge Podgorica then put the DSP on. I let it dry1 hour then applied a coat over the top. Waiting an hour between layers I put 2 more on.

When dry I used the sealer. I sprayed 2 coats.

I got medium sized circle felt pads from the hardware store and placed on the back.

This is a great use of extra DSP . These make great gifts.

Simple card using Nuts About Squirrels

 Welcome to my blog. We had a rescue squirrel for many years that my granddaughter bottle fed. That’s what pulled me to this stamp set. Nuts About Squirrels has images of 2 cute squirrels along with sentiments. I made this card using a card die set I have. The paper is retired Stampin Up DSP. I stamped the image on a stitched oval I die cut out of white cardstock. I colored the image using my tri blend markers. If you don’t have  a card die set you can make the card using a 4-1/4  x 5-1/2 card base. For the layer use DSP 4x 5-1/4.
