Family Bottle Caps

I really like the "All in the Family" stamp set. It is so adorable and easy to customize. I have been making bottle caps lately, so I wanted to make some of my family. Each of the bottle caps represent one of our family members, including our cat. My boys look a lot a like so I wanted to use the same stamp for them. They were super easy to do and turned out cute!

I used Very Vanilla Cardstock and stamped the heads from "All in the Family" using Jet Black StazOn Ink. I colored in the faces using Blush Blossom Stampin' Write Marker. I then used the Chocolate Chip Stampin' write marker to color the hair and added a pink bow to my baby girl using Regal Rose and Basic Black Stampin' write markers.

Then I cut them out with a 1-inch circle punch. I used hot glue to attach the circle to the flattened bottle cap. (I really love these flattened bottle caps because they look like little frames for the pictures) I then added an epoxy sticker to the top to seal it in. I love how the epoxy sticker looks on top of the Very Vanilla Cardstock, it makes it look vintage (Editor's Note: You could also fill with Crystal Effects and let it dry). I then added a magnet to the back using hot glue.
