Let’s get started with the ideas:

My cousin is getting married. I was 19 when she was born and she is only a couple of years older than my oldest son. We don't have a ton of things in common, but I am super excited for her!!!

I got my project idea from a local craft store called Mangelsen's. The sample had vinyl instead of paper but I could not find vinyl to match her blue color so I used paper instead.

I started with my Gypsy, Elegant Cake Art and Wedding.

The coaster set is wooden and sized at 4x4.  I sized my pieces to fit within a 4x4 square.

I selected:

 toasting glasses sized to 3.31 

double hearts (with the date to fit across the solid heart) sized to 2.86 and numbers sized to .54 

A & C sized to 1.39, 1.00 and 1.51

double rings sized to 3.00

I rotated the date -10.00 in order to size it to fit inside the heart.

I used blue and black card stock.  The wedding invitation is on the bottom right ~ you can see the blue in the flower.

I scrunched all of the pieces I wanted in blue to the top half of the mat.  I scrunched the date and toasting glasses to the bottom left quarter of the mat to cut them out in black.

Here are the cuts once I took off the extra paper.  I was not sure if I wanted the toasting glasses in blue or black so I cut out both!

Here is the coaster set I bought and the wide black ribbon I used.  I got the ribbon at Michaels.

I trimmed the negative piece from the initials to 4x4 and placed it over the tile.  I ran the letters through my Xyron to make them into stickers and placed the letters on the tile using the negative piece as a stencil.

I carefully peeled the template off and my letters are spaced perfectly!

I adhered the tiles to the ribbon using my ATG gun.

This will make a nice keepsake for Amy and Cameron.  If they want to use these as coasters, they can remove the ribbon and seal the coasters with Mod Podge or a spray sealer.
