Easter Coasters

Hello again!  This week has been hectic and filled with unexpected challenges so I am a little late with this post!

For this weeks design challenge at "The Cutting Cafe" we were to use the "Little Red Wagon" file http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/.services/blog/6a010536b71e2d970b010536b71e33970b/search?filter.q=little+red+wagon or the Easter Fun printable file http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2013/02/easter-fun-printable-set.html which I chose to use.

I decided to use the printable files to make a set of Easter coasters.  I think they turned out rather cute and would make a great little gift.  The were very easy to make.  I die cut 1/4 cork and then die cut the printable files in a circle (I added a little distress ink around the edge prior to mounting on the cork).   I then used the same die as the cork to cut a plastic overlay to put over the printable file.  I ran both the circles from the printable files and the plastic overlay through my large Xyron machine so putting them together was a snap! 

Have a great week and enjoy some creative time!
