Coaster Craftiness

Do you like the idea of recycling or upcycling in your craft projects?  Next time you're at a restaurant or bar, grab some coasters (new, or in good condition) for some fun!  I used four square coasters for these two projects.  Luckily, these coasters are 4" x 4", which is a pretty perfect size for cutting up 12" x 12" designer series papers!  You could certainly make things with circles or other shape coasters.  In fact, I showed two mini albums in the video, that I made using circle-shaped coasters from 2008/2009 time frame.  

I forgot to mention that you can also use the coasters as chipboard - die-cut letters or shapes to add to other projects.

The trickiest part of these projects was finding the right corner rounder that fit these particular coasters.  Luckily, I have a bunch to choose from!  The one that was the best fit was a retired SU Project Life corner rounder.

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

My first project is a fun stand-up easel to hold a picture.  I envision this sitting on your desk (home or office), on a shelf, table or mantel - anywhere that you'd want to display a small picture.  The beauty of this is on the inside - I used a hinge at the top, and then a gusseted hinge at the bottom to keep it standing up.  It won't fall flat, or tip over.

I glued in the Top hinge FIRST, to the back sides of the two coasters.  Then cover that hinge with light pink DSP.  It's not necessary, but why not cover the hinge if you can?

Paper Measurements:

• Everyday Essentials DSP (Floral print):  (2) 4" x 4"
• Everyday Essentials DSP (light pink print):  (2) 4" x 4"
• Bubble Bath (Top hinge):  3 1/2" x 2", score at 1"
• Bubble Bath (Bottom Gusseted Hinge):  3 1/2" x 3", score at 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2"

Picture from the side.  You can't see the top hinge, but you do get a look at the bottom gusseted hinge that keeps this standing up.

The greeting was from one of the Ephemera packs, and it is a sticker.  I wanted to create a tuck spot, so I stuck it on a scrap piece of Bubble Bath cardstock and trimmed around it with no border.  This allows me not to worry about the back being so sticky, or trying to make it less sticky with an Embossing Buddy or just tapping it on my pants or something.  Just avoid all of that, stick it on some cardstock, and move on.  I can slide whatever picture I want down there.   The tuck spot allows me to swap out pictures if I want, OR I can glue a picture down.  My choice.

I added the little pink flag at the top, and then two Fresh Freesia blooms around the greeting tuck spot.

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Bubble Bath, Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP

Other:  Coasters, Here & Now Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Meant for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Self-Adhesive Blooms (Fresh Freesia)

My second project is one of my favorites - a MINI ALBUM!  I love using coasters to make mini albums.  You can either use a coaster for every base page, OR use the coasters just for the covers and create pages with cardstock/designer series papers.  I used the latter method.  Coaster covers, paper pages.  During the video, I showed how to make FOUR pages, and I talked about how you could add more pages if you want.  Well, I decided I wanted more so I made another set of four pages.  Same designs as the first batch.  Every page is a pocket page WITH an insert.  By my count, this little album will hold 32 pictures and/or places for journaling!  

Notice that I used two 1" rings to bind my album.  If you have some sort of binding machine, that would work as well.  I think the Cinch machine would be good.  I used to have the Zutter Bind-it-All.  Both are coil systems, and really good for making your own books, journals, or albums.  You could also do something entirely different and create a hinge between each page.  

I decided to make this a birthday album, but I don't know what theme I'm going with yet.  I could go balloons...florals...something else entirely.  Not sure, so I only put something on the front cover.  It's a piece from the Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.  I mounted that to a piece of Pretty Peacock.  Then I used three different ribbons to tie knots on the two rings.  You could certainly use three rings if you'd like.  I don't see that it gets you anything extra to use a third ring...but that's up to you.

Paper Measurements:

• Beautiful Ordinary Life Covers (front and back of each):  (4) 4" x 4"
• Lemon Lolly & Timid Tiger (Fold Up pocket pages):  5 1/2" x 8" each.  Score at 4", turn and score again at 4".  See video for how to trim and glue pockets.
• Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP pocket pages:  (4) 4" x 8", scored at 4"
• Flirty Flamingo & Lost Lagoon (Side pocket pages):  4" x 11" each.  Score at 1 1/2", 5 1/2", 9 1/2"
• Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP:  (8) 1 1/4" x 3 3/4".  Add these bits to all of the pockets, whether they are along the bottom of a page, or the side.  Same size for all.
• Cardstock (random colors from the paper pack) Pocket Inserts:  (8) 3" x 3 3/4"  (NOTE:  In the video, I said 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"...I changed my mind.  They were a little too tight, and will only get tighter when you add pictures.
• Same cardstock color from above:   scraps to punch out tabs for the inserts.

Top view of the mini album.

One set of pages.  See how I staggered the 

Bottom pocket page on the left.  

Side pocket page on the right.  I mixed and matched the photo insert with the tabs at the top, so they're all different colors.

Like I said earlier, I finished off by tying some ribbons around the rings.  I'll add whatever ephemera or doo-dads that are appropriate once I add pictures and decide on the album them.  For now, this is a GREAT start!

Stamps:  None

Ink:  None

Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Timid Tiger, Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP

Other:  Coasters, 1" O-rings, Timid Tiger/Lemon Lolly, Pool Party Pom Pom ribbons. Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Round-Tab punch, Keeping Tabs punch, corner rounder (old SU Project Life corner rounder)

I also gave a quick idea for making a box out of these coasters, and decided that I will make a separate video on that.  That project needs it's own video to focus on the assembly, and not rush through it.

This coming Thursday, I'll be creating another scrapbook project - probably a folio, but not sure yet - using the Waterside Retreat Papers, the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin kit (that I haven't even opened yet), and maybe the Sunset Coast bundle.  All of these products together should make for a pretty cool project!

Projects featuring the Velvet Meadows Papers

Have you had the chance to FEEL this Velvet Meadows paper???  It's really got velvet bits on one side of each print.  Reminds me of the wallpaper in fancy restaurants growing up.  I also love the colors in this paper, and was happy to see Peaceful Pine in it.  I love any green!  

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

First up is a card that will use up an entire 6" x 12" piece of the papers.  If you got a Paper Share from me, this will be the perfect way to use up this sheet.  I will say that scoring on the velvet, or lumpy, side is a little bit tricky.  Go slow, so you don't jump the track in your score board.  Also, gluing things ON the lumpy side is interesting.  MORE glue.  :)

Paper Measurements:

• Velvet Meadows DSP:  6" x 9", 
• score the long side at 1/4", 4 1/2", 8 3/4"
• score the short side at 1/4" from each end
• Velvet Meadows DSP (same piece as above, use up the left overs):  (2) 1 1/2" x 5 3/8"
• Cloud Cover:  2 5/8" x 5 3/8"
• Basic White:  2 5/8" x 5 3/8"
• Cloud Cover:  3" x 3", cut with Scalloped Blooms die
• Basic White:  2" and 2 1/4" circles

Picture of the inside.  You can see how I used the last bits of dsp on the outer edges, then added some Cloud Cover and White cardstock.  You could totally stamp something on the Cloud Cover piece if you wanted.  Do that before you glue it down though.

I finished this one off with some small flower punch-outs in Cloud Cover, with some Shimmering Dots (white) centers.  

Stamps:  Scalloped Blooms

Ink:  Cloud Cover

Paper:  Cloud Cover, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Scalloped Blooms dies, 2" and 2 1/4" Circle punches, White Diagonal ribbon, small flower punch, Shimmering Dots (white)

My second project is a fun Back Flip card.  I always forget to do the scoring on the right-hand side BEFORE I start gluing papers down...but I remembered this time.  I stamped those floral arrangements on Basic White, and then I ink-blended some Basic Beige all over just so they would blend in more with that Basic Beige background in the DSP.  Run a Blender Pen all over those Peaceful Pine stamped images to drag a little bit of the color in.

Paper Measurements:

• Peaceful Pine:  5 1/2" x 7 1/2", scored at 3 1/4", and 6 1/2"
• Peaceful Pine:  3/4" x 5 1/4", embossed with Forever Plaid folder
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  3" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White:  3" x 5 1/4", for inside
• Basic White:  scraps to stamp and die-cut floral bits
• Peaceful Pine:  2 1/2" circle
• Basic Beige:  2 1/4" circle

Opened up.  You can see that I glued that larger floral behind the Peaceful Pine circle.

Finished off with some retired Charming Faceted Shimmer Gems in Berry Burst.

Stamps:  Scalloped Blooms bundle, Fern & Flora bundle

Ink:  Peaceful Pine, Berry Burst, Basic Beige

Paper:  Peaceful Pine, Basic White, Basic Beige, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Forever Plaid embossing folder, 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" Circle punches, Charming Faceted Shimmer Gems

My third project is a really cool "WV" fold card.  Every time I see it written down, I think West Virginia, but that's really got nothing to do with it!  Ignore the fact that I didn't get my "V" glued down straight.  I added Clear Shimmer brush to the die-cut flowers after the fact.

From the top, you can see how it gets the name.  You see the "W", and the "V"...

Paper Measurements:

• Berry Burst (the "W"):  5 1/2" x 11", scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4", 7"
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  (4) 1 1/2" x 5 1/4"
• Peaceful Pine (the "V"):  3" x 6", scored at 3"
• Velvet Meadows DSP  2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
• Basic White:  2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  3 3/4" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White:  3" x 6"
• Bubble Bath/Berry Burst/Daffodil Delight:  scraps to die-cut Boutique Blossoms
• Basic White:  scrap to die-cut label with Scalloped Blooms dies

Opened up, you can see all of the panels.  If you didn't want that smaller square of Basic White to write on, you could substitute with another piece of DSP or an embossed piece of Peaceful Pine.

I finished this one with some of the In Color Butterflies in Barely Blush.

Stamps:  Fern & Flora

Ink:  Peaceful Pine

Paper:  Berry Burst, Peaceful Pine, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Boutique Blossoms dies, Scalloped Blooms dies, Clear Shimmer brush, 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies

For my last project, I had to create this one off-line and share with you here.  I ran out of time, and still wanted to show some of the papers from the upcoming Paper Share.  This one is a Jumbo Tag.  I did talk about what I planned to do in the video, so here you see it -  I love making a tag, card, or even a scrapbook page with "HB" for Happy Birthday.  I also stamped out the words and hand-cut them. 

Double-layer the die-cut letters for a little more stability.  Top layer is embossed with the Eyelet folder. I used the Clear Shimmer brush on all of these flowers as well.

Paper Measurements:

• Peaceful Pine:  3" x 6"
• Velvet Meadows DSP:  2 7/8" x 5 7/8"
• Daffodil Delight:  scraps to die-cut letters (twice).  Emboss one of each with Eyelet folder
• Bubble Bath & Berry Burst:  scraps to die-cut Boutique Blossoms flowers
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp and hand-cut words

Close-up look.  I did not add a layer of Basic White on the back, but you certainly could if you wanted.

Finished off with some more of the Charming Faceted Shimmer gems in Berry Burst.  

Stamps:  Balloon Festoon

Ink:  Berry Burst

Paper:  Peaceful Pine, Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, Basic White, Velvet Meadows Specialty DSP

Other:  Eyelet embossing folder, Boutique Blossoms dies, Party Alphabet dies, Clear Shimmer brush, Peaceful Pine 3/8" Bordered Ribbon, Linen Thread, Charming Faceted Shimmer Gems (Berry Burst), Clear Shimmer brush

These Velvet Meadows papers are so pretty in real life!  I hope you enjoyed my ideas for using them.

This coming Thursday, I'll be working with COASTERS.  I went through a phase years and years ago where I was doing a lot of projects with coasters.  Let's bring some of those back!  I will tell you, the coasters today are a lot thinner and smaller (in a good way) than the ones I had 20 years ago.

May - August 2026 Ephemera Packs - A Few Projects

Have you looked at the Mix & Match Ephemera Packs that are available in the May - August 2026 Catalog?  You'll find them on Page 70 of the catalog, or by searching for "ephemera" in my online store. That actually gets you more than just the Ephemera packs, but you'll see them all.  I love that they are mostly self-adhesive things that make for quick and easy crafting.  You can also "de-stick" them...rub your Embossing Buddy on the sticky part, or some baby powder, or just stick them on/off of your clothing until they aren't sticky anymore.  Then you can pop them up with dimensionals, or use them to create tuck spots in a journal or scrapbook.  Lots of possibilities!

Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET.  I stream to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously, but I recommend viewing on YouTube.   

If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube.  If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it.

My first project is a 6" x 6" scrapbook page.  This could go directly into a 6" x 6" Album, or added to an 8 1/2" x 11" OR 12" x 12" page as an element.   You could also frame this as a home decor piece, pin it up at your desk, or stick it on your fridge.  When I glued the "sand" on top of my Basic White photo mat, I only glued it on the very left and right edges, so that I can slide my picture down under the sand.  

Don't be afraid to trim your ephemera pieces!  "HAPPY place" started out as "Our HAPPY place".  I added two die-cut letters to change it, and will add a picture of my friend at the beach.  I also trimmed some of the extra white border off of the flip flops, so they would fit better on this page.

Paper Measurements:

• Cloud Cover:  6" x 6"
• Crumb Cake:  2 1/2" x 6", ripped the top edge
• Lost Lagoon:  2 1/2" x 6", embossed with Soft Waves folder, then cut along one of the wave lines
• Basic White:  4" x 4 1/2"
• Lost Lagoon:  scraps to die-cut letters

I added some of the ephemera pieces for the beach theme.  

Stamps:  Itty Bitty Backgrounds

Ink:  Crumb Cake

Paper:  Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon, Basic White

Other:  Here and Now Mix & Match Ephemera, Under the Sun Mix & Match Ephemera, Mini Alphabet Dies

My second project is an Easel Z-fold card that I learned from my friend Sue (@KrusinThroughInk on FB).  It starts out like a regular Z-fold card, but then you add another flap with a stopper to get the easel to hold up.  It's really neat!

Paper Measurements:

• Misty Moonlight:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8", 4 1/4"
• Everyday Essentials DSP (floral print):  4" x 5 1/4"
• Everyday Essentials DSP (stripes):  (2) 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"
• Misty Moonlight:  3 1/2" x 7", scored at 3 1/2"
• Everyday Essentials DSP (pink print):  3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
• Basic White:  3 1/4" x 3 1/4"

It looks a little weird standing up, because it's got to lean forward a little bit - but it's still cool!  The greeting is popped up to hold things up.

The greeting is popped up on that front flap, so that it is hidden when the card is folded flat.  You use it to tuck the "card" part into to stand it up.

Add a few Iridescent Pearls to finish.

Stamps:  none

Ink:  none

Paper:  Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP

Other:  Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera, Meant for You Mix & Match Ephemera, Iridescent Pearls

I finished the night's stamping by making a cute little tag.  In the Classic Labels Ephemera pack, 2 of the tag sheets are tags with holes pre-punched.  The remaining 4 sheets are sticker labels.  I used one of the non-adhesive tags.  I colored some old white ribbon with a Stampin' Blend marker to customize the color scheme on this little tag.  Add some different ephemera pieces to make this tag stand out!

Stamps:  none

Ink:  none

Paper:  nothing extra

Other:  Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera, Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera, Meant for You Mix & Match Ephemera, Under the Sun Mix & Match Ephemera, Iridescent Pearls, White Baker's Twine, White/Silver edged ribbon, Highland Heather Dark Stampin' Blend marker, Basic Rhinestones, Self-Adhesive Blooms

I hope this gave you a little glimpse into how you can incorporate these Ephemera packs into your craft projects.  There's a bunch of new packs coming in the September-December 2026 Catalog -perfect for Halloween/Fall/Christmas/Winter crafting!

This coming Thursday, I'll be creating with the Velvet Meadow Designer Series Paper.  Note that this paper pack is out of stock until the week of 8/31, but I still want you folks to have these ideas.  Then when it restocks and you can get yours, you'll be ready to create.

Just posted today - Paper Share information for the upcoming September Online Exclusives AND Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog.  15 packs of paper total!  https://tonistamps.blogspot.com/2026/08/paper-share-september-december-2026.html   Email me to sign up!

Friends of Unity August 2026 Blog Hop - Grunge!

 

Welcome to the Friends of Unity Blog Hop for August 2026!  Side note - can you believe it's August already???  Our theme this month is Grunge. Grunge can mean whatever you want it to mean - if you take our "cue" photo above literally, it looks like some rusty bits on a piece of metal.  

If you ask Google "what does grunge mean in card making?", this is what it says: In card making, grunge means an intentional worn, weathered, and distressed style that uses textures like ink smudges, torn edges, and aged finishes to make a project look antique, industrial, or heavily handled.      You know I LOVE torn edges, but for my grunge-y card, I went with a background stamp with lots of ink blending to make it look distressed.

I also added a little bit of interest by making it an off-center gate-fold.  Score 1" from that right edge, and then fold the other edge in so they meet.  If I had scored 1" on the right side, and 3 1/4" on the left side, it would have very likely left a slight gap, and you would see the white layer that I've got inside.

Paper Measurements:

• Basic Black:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1" on one side, then fold the other side in
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside
• Basic White:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Stamp background image first, THEN trim down to 5 3/8" tall.  Then cut your two pieces, so the images line up.  You want 3 1/8" x 5 3/8" for the left panel, and 7/8" x 5 3/8" for the right panel.
• Basic White:  scrap to stamp and hand-cut greeting
• Basic Black:  scrap to layer greeting

I did my ink-blending after I trimmed the stamped pieces.  Just hold them together so the flowers/images line up, and then ink blend.   I went in on the smallest leaves with a marker.

Finished off with a few Vintage Pearls.

Here's a list of everything I used:

Stamps: Newsprint Floral Greetings (Unity Stamp Co)

Ink:  Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Old Olive, Gray Granite, Midnight (Catherine Pooler)

Paper:  Basic White, Basic Black

Other:  Vintage Pearls
