Coasters, coasters everywhere!

Hi Stampers!  I just wanted to post a quick note showing you what's been monopolizing my time for the last few weeks.  Yep, you guessed it, COASTERS!

I'm participating in a craft fair this Friday and I'm giving handstamped stone coasters a shot. They are made from either travertine or tumbled marble, and are fully backed with cork to protect your furniture. To see how I made them, please see this post.

Since this particular craft fair is where I work full time for my "real" job, I'm taking a slightly different spin on these.  I'm selling them individually at the event (great for stocking stuffers or boss/coworker/teacher gifts, and I will also be accepting custom orders for sets of 4 for delivery the week before Christmas.

I letting people choose whichever designs they like, and they can mix and match.  I took a sampling to the office today, and I already have 3 custom orders!

So, it's going to be a busy week for me as I finish my preparations, and I couldn't be happier!

Hope your holiday preparations (and your holiday cards!) are coming along swimmingly!  And if you're local to the Metro DC area, please stop by UMUC's Largo location (1616 McCormick Drive, Largo, MD 20774)  on Friday, December 7 from 9-4 to support local artisans!

Kindest regards,

Card and Coaster Gift Set

Here's just a quick post to show you what I've been working on today. I've been busily prepping for a craft show and thought I would give these Card and Coaster Gift Sets a try.

I previously showed you some of my coasters in this post, but I thought I would switch it up this year and make a coordinated gift set. These will (hopefully) make nice teacher, boss, or coworker gifts, and they couldn't be easier!

I'm using the Blooming With Kindness stamp set (I absolutely ADORE this set... the font is fantastic (and coming from a font-junkie such as myself, this is very high praise ;-) and the accompanying flower is truly iconic!

I've lined the back of the coasters with cork to protect those tabletops, and they are impervious to hot and cold drinks.  Not too shabby for something that takes only a few minutes to make and assemble ;-)

Now, the big question is, how much would you pay for something like this? I have such a hard time pricing my time...

Thanks for taking a peek!

Kindest regards,
Michey
