GIU GAL - Day 5



Ingredients

Stamps - Owl Always & Whispering Willow - Unity
Paper - Red Polka Dot, Pink Polka Dot, Bird Nest
White cardstock, Brown cardstock
Ink - Jet Black - Stazon, Aquatic Splash - Versa Magic
Adhesive - Glue Glider Pro - Glue Arts
Twine
Making Memories Distressor
Embossing Gun - Crop-A-Dile
Embossing Powder - Wintergreen, Pastel Opaque - Stamp n Stuff

Recipe

  • Take coaster and trace and cut 2 pattern papers for covers. Cut 4 more plain squares for inside pages. I used red polka dot & plain brown.
  • Distress edges of all with distressing tool.
  • Stamp owls on Brown cardstock with Aquatic Splash and whispering willow on White cardstock with Jet Black and heat emboss with wintergreen pastel.
  • Trim around owls
  • Mat with Pink polka dot on Red polka dot
  • Page 2 - Cut out pattern. I chose Bird Nest. Attach to brown cardstock
  • Page 3 - Stamp owl on sentiment with Jet Black Ink. Edge with Aquatic Splash.
  • Page 4 - Stamp whispering willow with Jet Black Ink. Color leaves with Aquatic Splash.
  • Back Cover - Red Polka Dot Paper
With Crop-A-Dile make holes in corner of each coaster and tie with twine loose enough to turn pages.
Place one clip on each corner to turn pages

I only had 3 coasters that's why my album is so small but I just wanted you to get the idea.


Here is another coaster I did.

  1. Oh my gosh. Great idea. Someone gave me a set of blank coasters and they have been sitting in a pile because I don’t think paper coasters are very effective. :) The book idea is perfect and you’ve done an adorable job with the owls. Happy Friday!
