Bottlecap Booklets

I have to share another Stampington & Company magazine--I love Stampers' Sampler.  I have a very small collection of rubber stamps.  To be really honest I am not a very good stamper at all.  I tend to buy them, but when I bring them home or get them in the mail--all of a sudden I don't know what to do with them.  I just look at that plastic devoid of any color, and I freeze up!  I do use the smaller ones a bit in my collage stuff, and those I can work with pretty easily.  However, you can get loads of ideas from Stampers' Sampler!  The only problem is (as always)--money.  To create some of the gorgeous cards you need a variety of inks and stamps and papers, etc., and I tend to spend my money (what I have and haven't yet earned!!) on either books or needlework supplies.  But I still occasionally pick up this magazine.

This issue had a really fun idea.  You can make tiny booklets out of bottlecaps!  This would be such a fun thing to do for your artsy friends!  You can find bottlecaps all over the place, and then it is just a matter of either splurging for the hole punch (same size as bottlecap), or cutting the pages yourself.  I have loads of pretty papers and ephemera and you can put all sorts of little surprises inside.  I may just have to try this one out!

Isn't this a fun idea? I love all the Stampington mags and if you go to their website, they have loads of art and paper stuff. I think the only magazine I don't pick up they publish is the Art Dolls one.
