Isn't this a cute idea???
Here's how they did it :)
Today I am going to show you how to create these cute bottlecap magnets. They would be a quick and easy gift to give to a friend—or even just to make for yourself!
Begin by stamping the bottlecap centers on Very Vanilla Cardstock using the Collage Curios and Memorable Moments Stamp Sets, then punch out the stamped images using the 1” Circle Punch.
Next, pour some Crystal Effects into a little container and brush some of the adhesive on the bottom of the cap.
Put the stamped image inside the bottlecap. Let it dry for a few minutes before the next step.
Now mix one drop of Crumb Cake ink into the Crystal Effects, then brush it on top of your stamped image.
Adding the Crumb Cake ink into the Crystal Effects gives the bottlecap a vintage, aged look.
Now you can either hot glue a magnet to the back of the bottlecap or adhere it to a clothespin—as I did above. To do that, simply hot glue the bottlecap to the clothespin, then hot glue the magnet to the back of the clothespin.
That’s it—antiqued, numbered bottle caps! They are now ready to make your (or your friend’s) fridge, magnet board, or chalkboard extra-cute!

What a wonderful, whirl-wind of an afternoon I had, a couple of days ago, on Thursday, February 7th. Earilier, either the 30th or 31st of January, I received a call from a friend of mine who is a member of the Altrusa Club*. She asked for my help on making 125 valentines for the Knox County Nursing Home. Besides my friend, Sherry, I would have help from other Altrusa members as well as some students of Galesburg North High School. As Sherry knows I love stamping as much as I love helping others, it didn't take much thought to agree to help. In our short conversation, I agreed to come up with 3 quick and easy designs that could be quickly put together. But, I had never done anything like this. Quick and easy??? I have been a demonstrator for almost 10 years. Yikes!!! What did I just do??? Do I know quick and easy? My friends and I like to cut, fold, embellish, pop, stamp, and did I mention embellish? But, I knew that it had to be done quickly as we had to be in and out of the school in just under 1-1/2 hours. WE DID IT!!! Hooty-Hoo!!! Here are the three cards we made.
(Click on any images below to enlarge.)
I am guesstimating that there were around 10 Altrusa women and maybe 20 students (in and out). WOW!!! I thought maybe I would have a total of maybe a 12-15 ... like I say, I really didn't know what to expect. I had everything cut and divided out into three projects. Everyone dove in, we all stamped, cut, die-cut, taped, and in just over an hour, YES!!! we had 125 cards all put together for the Knox County Nursing Home! Yay!!!
I hope I am asked back to help again in the future. This was one exciting, rejuvenating afternoon. Never ever dreamed that that many cards could be created in such a very short time! And even more amazing... maybe only one person in the entire room had ever really stamped before! What A Group!!!
