Manly Monday Poker BIL's Card

This is the front of the card. The crimper is by Fiskars. The little playing cards are dies by Quickutz. The patterned paper underneath the straight flush is by Tim Holtz. I'm not sure about the bottle cap but it beautifully fits in as a 10 of hearts. The alphabet stamps are by Oriental Trading Co. It's a great little set. 

And this is the inside of the card. The inside letters are Michael's. I thought it was witty
Straight Flush? Nope! 4 of a kind for our 7 card stud because he turned 47. 

But now that I read again, it's hard to understand.

This is a fabric that I used heat and bond to attach the fabric to the cardstock.

Cricut cut the four and seven.

And then I tripped on the finish line and cut the word kind in the wrong spot. It turned out fine.

Beach Bum Cheers Card for Marcia

I made this one as a birthday card. 

As I see it, the card on which the bottle cap is on looks like the sun to me. 

The bottle cap matches the bubbles from the water dry embossed background 

Lastly, the bottle cap matches the word "Cheers". 

I ask you, how can that sentiment not match a beer bottle cap? :)

The background is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

 The patterned paper is by Fancy Pants and the cheers die cut by Lawn Fawn.

Thanks for looking.

Sit back and Relax card

 The background of this card is in embossing folder by quickutz. I inked the folder with paint mixed with powdered chalk.  The reading is from May parts the diecut behind the bottle cap is by DO crafts. The sentiment is by unity stamp company  and is stamp on a Gina Marie designs diecut. The lemon is a doodle bug sticker. 

 I am now doing my blog posts using the voice activation on my iPad. I haven't figured out how to make companies with start with capital letters. I'm still learning. Doing posts this way is really helping the pain in my wrists that I incur from typing. 

 Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. 

Let's all Dance Like a Daisy Bottle Cap card

Deep Red Stamps Cheers Card

I made this card for a friend who is a red head and he found the card humorous. The background of the card was created by the Deep Red Stamps Tree Ring background stamp. I stamped it onto the red cardstock with Pale Tomato ink by Hero Arts and then again on white cardstock where I tried to match up the design. Taped those together and trimmed off the extra before adhering to black cardstock and then the card base. The cheers die is by Lawn Fawn and the circle around the bottle cap is from my stash.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Lightning Bolt Cheers

Today my card for Manly Monday I used another bottle cap. I hope you don't hate them because I have really enjoyed making them. The green background is a Deep Red Stamp called Metal Mesh stamped with black Hero Arts ink. The lightning bolts are a Cricut cut, the sentiment is a Lawn Fawn die cut and the black die behind the bottle cap is by Spellbinders. The green paper on the right side is the back of a Creative Memories journal box.

Living the High Life Bottle Cap Card

This city scene was the bottom of a wedding invitation. I thought it fit well with this bottle cap as a sort of sun. The yellow die cut is by Spellbinders. I used a Creative Memories corner punch on the bottom of the city scene. Black and white cardstock by Recollections.

Thanks for looking.

Be Happy Card

For my card today I used patterned paper by Cosmo Cricket and white cardstock by Recollections. I stamped the Stampin'Up Mosaic stamp onto purple cardstock with purple Ranger ink. Then I used the matching punch to individualize them to arrange them onto a half  circle die cut cut out from my Cricut.

The bottle cap is a recycled beer cap that I covered with Ranger's alcohol ink and the silver mixative. The flower gem in the center is by The Paper Studio. The sentiment is an old vellum by Provo Craft. Now days I adhere all vellum with the Xyron sticker maker.

Thanks for looking.

Park City Anniversary Card

This bottle cap came from my cousin in Utah and Park City is where she got engaged. So I'm usin g this cap for their anniversary card.

The card base is a kraft pre-made Recollections card. I find I end up with a lot of 2" by 6" strips of patterned paper because I sometimes use the 6x6 paper pads. This card utilizes two of these scraps. I adhered the Pink Paislee patterned paper strips to each side of the card base and covered the seam with a Mrs. Grossman's sticker. I used a border punch by EK Success on the right side edge and then the doily is by Doodlebug Designs.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Hubby's Beer Card

I really like the way this card came together. The gold patterned paper background is the back of a photo Christmas card. So yea, I chopped up someone's little kid picture. I'm recycling which will benefit that kid so it's all good. Right? 

The Miller Lite cap was flattened and then adhered to a white circle punch and then a blue Design Objectives die. The gold string is by Martha Stewart. Pretty simple but in real life took me forever to put together. Story of my life-nothing is of a short duration.

Thanks for looking.

A Toast 2 U! Bottle Cap Card

Today my card uses a Coors Light bottle cap. I had my husband flatten it before I adhered it to a black cardstock circle. I then matted a Coredinations cardstock circle behind it and a Gina Marie circle die cut behind that. I made the sentiment with a Lawn Fawn alphabet set and black ink. The patterned paper is by K and Co and the black and white cardstock by Recollections.

Thanks for being patient with me and things will get better. Hopefully.

The black textured paper is by Coredinations and the black and white cardstock by Recollections.

Blue Moon Bottle cap card

I love the bottle cap cards for those family and friends that drink beer. A lot of them save cool caps for me. One of our good friends will pick out a beer based on if the cap catches his eye. Grand Rapids, MI is considered "Beer City". We have soooo many breweries in this area. 

Anyways, the cap is matted with a circle punch (CM) and a scallop die (Spellbinders). The corner patterned paper is by Making Memories. The sentiment stamp (Hero Arts) is heat embossed in white onto a strip of blue cardstock. The other two cardstock are by Recollections.

Thanks for looking.

Maple Leaf card

The background paper is by GCD and I inked all the edges with distress ink. The larger red leaves are old die cuts from Creative memories that I stamped with a canvas background stamp by Stampin Up. I punched the other leaves out with a CM punch. I inked all the edges of the leaves.

The bottle cap is by Molson Canadian that my husband flattened. I punched a circle (CM) out of burgundy cardstock and adhered the cap to it with Glossy Accents (Ranger). The white is a Spellbinders die. I kept it nice and white to match the cap.

Thanks for looking.

Celebrate with Schlitz

Today's wacky holiday is Old Stuff Day so what a great day to do a bottle cap card. This Schlitz cap has been manually depressed by my husband. I'm not sure how he does it but the caps usually pass my quality control. I glued the cap onto a light brown cardstock circle punch by EK Success. I used Glossy Accents to adhere the cap to the cardstock by putting the adhesive on the caps highest points that will be in contact with the cardstock and then I set a punch on top of it to dry. I usually do a bunch at a time and sometimes forget that I'm doing that project. I'll see my punches all over my tabletop and start putting them away until I notice what is underneath. Silly.

The light brown cardstock as the background is cardstock by Sunborn. I stamped it with circle stamps by Stampin Up and then inked the edges with distress ink and an ink blender. The middle kraft cardstock is by Oriental Trading Co. The canvas stamp is also by SU and I ripped the edges of the cardstock at the top  and bottom. The bottle cap is secured to a Spellbinders die cut out of Bazzill cardstock . The same cardstock was used on the sentiment but for this die cut I used my Cricut and the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. The sentiment stamp is by Fiskars.

Thanks for looking.

You're Too Kind

I have a new bottle cap card to share today. This one is a little more feminine then others with the colors of pink, grey and white. The white cardstock is by Recollections and all the other papers are by Sunborn. I really like this grid style for a card because it is so clean looking. The bottle cap has been smashed by my husband and I placed a Martha Stewart flower sticker inside and then placed a Epiphany Crafts clear epoxy sticker over that. The sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp and I stamped it with Hero Arts black ink.

Thanks for looking.

Sketch from March 07 Bottom Rt Corner

Smile Bottle Cap Card

So I made this card using a sketch at Scrapbook.com that you can see at the bottom of this post. The background cardstock is by Sunborn and I've stamped it with circle stamps by Stampin Up. Then I inked the edges with distress ink and an ink blending tool.The next layer is the dark brown and I'm not sure exactly where that came from but the lighter strip of patterned paper on the right is by Studio Calico. The pennant in the middle is kraft cardstock by Oriental Trading Co and I've dry embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder. The dark brown cardstock is by Stampin Up and the white is by Recollections. I think the die cut is one by Lifestyle Crafts but don't quote me on that because I don't own the dies. I use to have a friend that I could borrow her dies for a week or more and die cut a ton of them out. 

But anyway, the bottle cap is by The Paper Studio, the smile sticker is by Studio 112, and the epoxy sticker over that is by Epiphany Crafts. I did run the bottle cap through my Cuttlebug to flatten it out a little bit more. I also adhered a one and a half inch circle punch behind it. Same kraft cardstock as mentioned earlier. 

Thanks for looking.

Purple Bottle Cap Card

Today's card has no stamps in it at all. The light purple and gold patterned paper by Basic Grey. The purple patterned paper in the circle is by Best Creations. All the rest of the paper came from scraps in my stash. The bottle cap is a recycled cap that my husband was able to make flatter through the magic of his barn tools. He's told me before how he does it but honestly its not high on my list of things I need to know. I used circle punches by Creative Memories on the papers under the cap. The sentiment stickers came from Joann's Fabric Store and the border punch that I used is by Fiskars.
