Alphabet Tiles

I decided that I'd intersperse some product posts since there are so many new and cool things coming out!

I like the Bottlecap Inc inserts and bottlecaps. So easy to use!

They have introduced square Alphabet Tiles. They're 3/4" and they have Epoxy squares which can cover them so they'd make a very quick and cool embellishment to a card or scrapbook page.

Bottle Capped Paris

As promised, here is a card I made using my bottle cap supplies. It's done with July Kayric Club techinque: Distressed Felt. I used the Paris Passport bottle cap insert images and the chrome bottle cap.

The background is the new Tim Holtz embossing folder which matches the background from his "I See Paris" set (I love this background and am so excited that there is now a matching embossing folder). I embossed a piece of the Faded Jeans Distress Core'dinations and then sanded off part of it. I really like how it all turned out!

Bottle Caps

A couple of years ago, my friend, Sonja, did a demo with bottle caps. Everyone was intrigued and it was so cool. I tried using them a few times, but I could never flatten them so that they looked nice. I'm sure there is a trick, but I didn't figure it out. And they were kind of sharp and poky, so they got put to the side.

This summer, one of my distributors started carrying Bottle Cap supplies. They have lightweight, already flattened bottle caps and lots of sheets with images that fit in the bottlecaps. They even have gems which fit in them. I ordered a few and I really like them, so I'll be ordering more.

Here is a sample of the bottle cap.

Here are a couple of the insert image sheets you can get: Nostalgic and Paris Passport

Here are the gems.


The bottle caps come in chrome, black, antique silver and antique gold. They don't have a liner to take out either, so they're ready to grab and use.

Tomorrow, I'll post a card I made with these.
