I love this simple but beautiful card. I WANT that punch thing. Does PT sell it?
Hi Jennifer –
Thank you for a great video! I love how the card turned out. I really like that you gave us an example of what to do with coasters. Its nice to know different ways of using them.

I am wondering the same thing…..where can you purchase that punch that you used to make the slit for the ribbon to go through?
Hi Jennifer,
The challenge details (above) say: Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and features a double sided stamped die cut. Where is this addressed in the video? Am I missing something?
Thanks, Shelley
Thanks, Shelly – got that changed. That tool is the Making Memories Slot Tool. I’ve had it for several years, but think you can still find it. HTH!
Thanks Shelly – got that changed! The tool is a Making Memories Slot Tool. I’ve had it for several years, but I think it is still available. HTH!
Thanks for the fun challenge!! You are all, always so inspiring.
last weeks was a bit more of a challenge for me. This one was much easier. I didn’t get mine in until the last day.

Love this idea, Jennifer! And I just happen to have a whole stack of coasters waiting to be used:)
Such a fun project! I never would have thought I could emboss the coasters. I love to use them for embellishments and inking them up and embossing them will add so much to my projects! Thanks for the inspiration!
So fun! Thanks for a different way to use coasters. I will have to use some (homemade) mists this week to colour my coasters as I am still without a brayer (gasp, I know!!). 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Great job on the video and the coaster. The directions were very clear. Thanks.
I never used coasters in my projects. But I think I may be using them now. I never knew I could emboss on them. It really looks so great! Thanks!

I have used my coasters to cut and stamp and to make fronts and backs of mini books. I never thought to brayer on the ink, I just used paper to cover/color them. Nor did I think to run them through to emboss. GREAT ideas! Thanks for making this SUPER tutorial Jennifer! I love that it’s simple and thorough. Oh, and thanks for the “lift the ribbon not the score tape” tip. I can’t tell you how I’ve mucked my paper by trying to quickly “peel” off the score tape. There’s no such thing as “quickly” enough when it comes to score tape, is there? Heehee1 Invaluable tip! 🙂
Wow, cool idea – I only used coasters for bind it all books, so this is a cool new idea… THanks for sharing…
Oh my goodness. How innovative. I think your Movers & Shakers new line is so FUN!! Would love to win this great PTSD package ;). Diane
Wow, Nichole, you have outdone yourself with these! I see this kind of fun card everywhere, and now it is a snap to make them at home!
Great video! I can’t wait to get started :D. And thanks for all the awesome tips for using Scor-Tape.
I love the PTI coasters! So versatile and they die-cut beautifully! Thanks for sharing your techniques!
