Hello There! Happy Saturday! I've got 3 cards to share with you today. Mother's Day is tomorrow so I've got a last minute Mother's Day card idea for you. You can find all the information below and don't forget to check out the video for a full visual over on my YouTube channel.
Alright so for today's recycle with me project I used Bottle caps and a milk cap to make the middle of the flower 3D and stand out.
The 3 cards I created were very simple. I first started off with some water color paper and my Koi watercolors. I took the bottle caps and held them and drew flower petals around the cap to create a flower. Then I used some Spellbinders Circle dies I had in my collection to cut some circles to fit into the inside of the bottle caps. I had two circle dies that fit perfectly with the two sizes of bottle caps so I was very happy about that. To cut the circles I got out my Sizzix SideKick (mini die cutting machine). You could use any circle dies you had in your collection. When the circles were all cut out I was ready to write the messages on the circles. I added various sayings "Happy Mother's Day", "I love you Mom" and "Mom you rock!". You could totally use stamps for this too if they were small enough to fit onto the circles. Though I really liked the personal touch the hand writing gave.
Adding the sentiment into the bottle cap like this reminded me of the drinks you can get with the encouraging message you can read under the cap or the details when your favorite pop has a giveaway and they tell you to look under the cap for details.
To adhere the circles to the inside of the cap I grabbed some foam dots with adhesive and stacked the dots until the paper was able to stay inside the cap. At this point I cut out my flowers I had painted before.
Then I got out the scotch Advanced Tape Glider to adhere the flower and the bottle cap to the card base. To finish off the cards I pulled out the Koi water colors again and added flower stems to the flowers. I also used my Marvey heating tool to speed up the drying process. Then lastly I was ready to stamp the sentiment. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used an older Stampin Up "Mother's Day" stamp I had in my collection for the sentiment.
