It's almost Texana Designs time again, but today I wasn't in the mood for a card. I was feeling really creative and wanted to do something different. So I started digging in my stash and found some Acrylic Shapes. I'm not even sure where they came from. The have been in a small bin that was hanging way at the top of my slat wall over my work table. Hmmmm. What can I do with these?
I know coasters!!! I will stamp on them and heat emboss them. The Texana Designs Stamps I have to work with will be PERFECT for heat embossing. So that is what I did, this morning. I created Coasters.

| WF036-Verbena and TD027-Texas Wildflowers words |

| WF035—Wildflower (Tall ) and TD050 Welcome So how did I do these: They were simple. I made sure the acrylic was clean. I stamped with Versamark and sprinkled with Embossing Powder. I used my heat gun to melt the embossing powder. I colored the BACK of the disks with a few drops of ink on my Applicator and did it several times til I like the look. NOTE: On the Welcome Coaster I did the flower stamp. made sure it was cool and then stamped and embossed the word over it using the second color. |

3. Embossing Powder - The silver and black powder are labeled Memory Depot which is out of business. ***EDIT I have just learned that Stampamania made the Memory Depot Embossing Powders. The Metallic Marmalade is from b-mused.com . I have ordered from BMused for years and have found their embossing powders to be EXCELLENT! They also have a great assortment of Ephemera.
4. T!m Holtz Alcohol Ink applicator
5. Acrylic disks - source unknown, but I have one similar in my T!m Holtz Idea-ology Fragments. This technique would be great on any of T!m's Fragments to make embellishments or jewelry items.
