Snowflake Magnets

I'm guest designing again today at A Blog Named Hero for their Dear Santa event.

Today's project is a Christmas Gift ... a set of magnets made from chipboard coasters.  I started by stamping images from Hero Arts Four Framed Snowflakes in three colors of RangerArchival Ink - Cornflower Blue, Orange Blossom & Vermillion on a chipboard coaster that I then trimmed to a 1 3/4" square.

I cut a second piece of coaster and glued it to the back using a thin coat Collall Tacky Glue to give it more strength.  Once the glue dried, I applied more ink to the edges.

I finished by attaching a magnet to the back & a coordinating gem to the center of each snowflake ... I love using a snow theme for Christmas gifts, because then they can stay on display long after the holiday (in Iowa ... the snow keeps falling for a long, long time).

These fit nicely inside a small metal tin for gift-giving.  Make sure you head on over to A Blog Named Hero for many more gift ideas.

I'm also joining Make My Monday where the theme is Anything But a Card - Christmas Style.
