For the coasters I used adhesive backed cork and attached them to a piece of felt.  I than ran them through my manual die cut machine using a 3 3/5” circle steel die.  If your die won’t cut through both together cut them out separately then adhere.  Use the stamps to design them; I used memento dye ink on mine.

The box is about 4” x 4” x 1”d and fits around 6 coasters nicely. The die cut I used comes with two boxes and a band, you only need one, I size the whole thing to 13.25”w and kept the one box with lid. I used a 2.9” circle to cut out the center of the lid.  For the blue border on the front I duplicated the circle and made an .2 offset and joined them together using the make compound path.

Added some clear acetate on the inside of the lid and decorated with ribbon, button, twine, some elements stickers and the anchor die from the new designer dies set.

I love my Silhouette Cameo but dies are great to put together a project quickly and you really get to use up all those scrap pieces of designer paper. I tested these dies on the same cork sheets I used for the coasters and they cutout perfectly.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
