soda tops as buckles

[stampin8mom]

I didn't realize there was a difference until I saw these two pictures! i just "happened" to have a tab sitting on the counter from my DD's soda. It was a Wal Mart knock off of Sprite (lemon lime twist, or something).

Anyway, it is one of the rounded tabs you said you liked, Delene.

#1 - my family thinks I have gone off the deep end because I called my DH and DDs who were on their way to PA today (my husband works there during the week) and told them to be sure to save the tabs from the sodas I sent with them - an 18 count! They thought I wanted to donate them to a charity who is collecting the tabs (my MIL does this). But no, they are for STAMPING!

#2 - what am I doing having this conversation about soda tabs at 1:10 a.m.?!!!

Good night!

These cards are beautiful! I'd heard about the pop-tab buckle card, but wasn't very interested in trying it. After seeing these cards though, I can hardly wait to get started! They're gorgeous.

I had a DUH moment when I got in the car after leaving work. Thanks though.

I colored mine with a Sharpie.

A bamboo skewer works great also.

Do you just rub it on the stazOn pad? how do you get it in all the crevasses?

Thanks!

I'd like to know the how-to of the Stazon to color the "buckle", too. Also, how long to dry? Thanks.
