Fun with Coasters!

It was Kimmy's turn to give this week's Fun Filled Friday Challenge theme & she picked Coasters! I was a little worried about this challenge since I've never worked with coasters before. Remember that Stamping Retreat, Shackapolooza, that I went on last weekend? Well, one of our Make N Take projects was this cute Coaster Post-It Note Holder...Can you say Shackapolooza to the rescue!?!?!?!

I lucked out with this project, so it wasn't much of a challenge at all--frankly, it's cheating! Our kit came with everything you see here. All I had to do was ink, color, and assemble!

I inked the edges of Bella with Colorbox Fluid chalk ink in French Blue. I colored her with Starlights Glitter Gel pens and then matted her on the brown cardstock provided. I assembled the scalloped circle layers together & then added a decorative flower rhinestone to match.

I covered each coaster with the 2 kinds of designer paper provided and used my Crop-a-dile to punch the holes for the binding.


What's great about this design is that when the Post-Its are all used up, it is easily refillable!

We'd love to have you participate in our Fun Filled Friday Challenges as well. Make sure to leave a link in the comment section of this post if you do. Stay tuned for next week's challenge theme to be announced on Sunday.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Smiles,
Jennifer

  1. Cute and useful -- my favorite kinds of projects! Since you have the crop-a-dile, you might want to try out the coaster box tutorial on SCS; they are great for holding stamping supplies, including pencils!
