Don't throw away scraps of ribbon. There have been more than a couple of times when I've been looking for tiny pieces of ribbon and remembered throwing away a perfect piece only a few days before. I keep all my ribbon scraps in 5 plastic bags, divided by color group. It doesn't take up much space and it's nice to have all the extras on hand for just in case.
We are 2 sisters that use rubber stamping techniques for a variety of items. We do a lot of paper crafting as well as stamping on dominoes for pins and ceramic tiles for coasters. We make gift boxes and bags, picture frames. We also make squash books which are mini photo albums. We also offer custom made items.
When making ceramic tile coasters with rubber stamping and ink, make sure to bake the coasters at 350 degrees for 30 minutes after you stamp on them - this helps set the image in. This should be done before putting any protective coating on the tile.
