What a whirlwind of a weekend.
Friday morning, bright and early, I head to Sioux Falls (with my helper, Savannah) to get set up for the Expo for Her held at the Convention Center in Sioux Falls, SD (see details at www.etcsiouxfalls.com). What an awesome experience. There were 7,500 gals (and a few men) who walked through the doors. What a nice crowd. And, a TON of you walked away with a little 3 x 3 handstamped card. I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I did. My mom and Hannah helped me on Friday too. LeAnn came along for the experience and to help on Saturday.
I had my tables set up with all the Stampin' Up! stuff – card stuff, scrapbook stuff, product, Décor elements.
Probably the MOST asked about item was some 6x6 tiles that I had made. Gals would hold them up, turn them over, stare at them J. They were hoping that somehow the directions would jump out of the tile. Too funny!!



Here is what you do:
I bought my tiles from Lowes. You can buy them other places too I am sure. They are 6x6.
Stamp using Craft Ink from Stampin' Up! (All of our 48 exclusive colors come in craft ink. You can go to www.sandyh.stampinup.net. Click Shop Now. Do a search for Craft Ink. You will find what you need. You can also see the colors on pages 164 and 165 in the catalog.)
Pour on Glassy Glaze enamel (item 100477, $4.75, page 190).
Shake off excess.
Heat in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Take out and let cook on a cooling rack.





















































I love the look of these. I have been working with tumble tiles but the 4 x 4 and wanted to make them for coasters.. the finish that I used did not stand up the hot cups of coffee or cold drinks .. i dont have the gossy glaze but maybe I will try that .. are these trivets and are they usable or just for decoration? Thanks.. your Canadian SU demo Tracy
