Have you tried out the Soda Pop Tops (Bottle Caps) out yet?  This was my first attempt at making a way cool card with them. This project was one of our make n takes at the CG Crew team meeting in March.  We also made a very cool necklace pendant with this set as well. Click Here to find out more about the CG Crew

I love how all the elements come together on this project.  It’s fun, has a little of a modern vintage flair, does that even make sense?

Creative Tips –

• We started with a Pool Party base in our Core’dination’s card stock run through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).  We then sanded it down to reveal the cool pattern in a distressed look using the new Stampin’ Sanding System. (You can get the Pool Party Core’dinations card stock in a package until 5/31, next year it’s in a combo pack – so stock up while you can!)
• The banners are stamped and cut out with the Hearts a Flutter Bundle that includes the Stamp Set and Framelits. 
• One of the Paper Doilies was cut in half and angled so that it fit behind the banners.
• I love the whole Very Vanilla/Whisper White thing that’s very on trend today, this card shows it off very well.  What do you think?  Do you like it, or does it just look wrong to you?  Let me know!
• The new 5/8” Flower Trim is an awesome accessory.  I cut just one off and added it with a few glue dots.  I always leave the netting on the back, some of the CG Crew just couldn’t leave it on and had to trim it away, I guess to each her own, right?!
• For a little color pop, I added a few strips of Riding Hood Red that were distressed using our new Distressed Tool.
• The oval was cut out of our First Edition DSP using our new Oval Framelits.
• Collage Curios is an awesome stamp set to use with the bottle caps.  I love layering the different stamps in this set.   Here I used Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Riding Hood Red and Early Espresso.
• To flatten the bottle caps (Soda Pop Tops), you just run them through the big shot.  It’s so super easy, and you have a really cool little embellishment. I love this little card.  It’s fun, flirty and a good blend of some of my favorite things from the Spring Catalog – ending next week (sniff…sniff).  I hope you love it too!
