This was my first card that I completely designed on my own! OK, I got some ideas from looking at samples, but I didn't case this one!!! I made this for a shoebox swap for our downline meeting.
Here are the Soda Pop Tops tips: Use no tabs on your multipurpose platform and place the bottle caps flat (smooth) side up between two acrylic plates. Run it through. It went through so easy we didn't even feel it flatten. And it left no marks on the plates either!
Now the watch face is another cool thing. I stamped it on card stock using Black Stazon ink and punched it out with a 1" circle punch. It's adhered to the flattened soda pop top and covered lightly with Crystal Effects. It takes at least an hour to dry but it's so shiny and looks so real too! Use mini glue dots to adhere the soda pop top to the card stock then.
See the honeycomb metallic piece? I used metal/heat duct tape adhered to a piece of card stock and then run through the Big Shot in the embossing folder. This works so much better than aluminum foil. Why? Even heavy duty aluminum foil loses it's texture when you touch it. Although you could adhere the foil to card stock and then texture it.
And lastly - the honeycomb patterned paper pieces. No, they aren't punched out. I ran the Parker's Patterns DSP through the embossing folder and the little pieces just fall apart with a bit of tearing. Easy!
