Belli Challenge #30 - coasters

This week's Belli Challenge is to create something with chipboard coasters. I decided to make a Christmas coaster book. For those of you who come to my stamp camps, I will be hosting a fun afternoon in October where you can come and make your own coaster books. Check your email for details on this. :-)

I started with two plain white chipboard coasters, and covered them with the new Holiday Treasures paper. The best way to glue the paper to chipboard - for me - is to cover the coaster with glue using the glue stick. Then lay the paper down and smooth it out. I gave it a few minutes to dry, and then sanded all the edges with the sanding block.

The crop-a-dile works great for punching holes in chipboard, so I used that and tied the coasters together with the new Old Olive narrow grosgrain ribbon. The rest is fairly simple - I just stamped the images and attached them to the coasters. Lots of fun, and so many possibilities!

Check out what the other gals on the Belli Team have created:
