Tumbled Tile Coasters

As a customer appreciation gift, I made a few sets of these coasters. There are lots of instructions for these floating around the web. Some suggest baking in the oven, some only using Staz-on ink, some using sealers and some don't. If you search on Tumbled Tile Coasters you'll find loads of instructions and ideas.

My process is to clean, stamp, bake, and seal. I seal any area not stamped with Staz-on ink. Actually I've found the colored Staz-on used in high concentration also needs sealing. Just have a couple of extra tiles for experimenting and breakage. These are fun to do and get rave reviews.

For these, I stamped the flourishes with a Rhonna Farrer set from Autumn Leaves in brown Staz-on ink. I stamped off first to get a lighter, more aged look.

For the monogram, I used Stampin' Up!'s Lovely Letters stamped in Staz-on Brown. I cut a mask using SCAL software and my Cricut. After adhering the mask with some removable adhesive, I sponged on craft ink.

After baking, I sealed the monogrammed area by applying another slightly larger mask before spraying with 3 coats sealer. These were finished with a layer of adhesive backed cork for the bottom.
