Here's how to get started with this fun project. Materials needed: Rubber stamp (an icon or single subject stamp works best.)  Shrink film (I used Grafix film in white.  Black or opaque film works great, too.) StazOn Jet Black ink (a solvent ink that dries fast on glossy surfaces) Bottle cap (1 inch silver with magnet built in) Metal adjustable ring blank Large scissors Solvent based markers Heat gun or oven Deep Red Stamps Zebra  stamp measures, 2.75"wide  x 3.1" tall Draw a circle around the design and cut it out using any scissors.  Decide to trim the design later depending on the size of your bottle cap.

This 5 inch x 7 inch card features our Old Glory and Combat Boots Rubber Stamps.  The wave of the flag overlaps the combat boots section and the cards' colors are red, white and blue.

Quick hint: To get a 5x7 card size, cut at 7 inch mark and then cut at the 10 inch mark.  Fold the 10 inch in half and you have a 5 inch face and 7 inch tall card. The rest of the papers were cutout using 8 1/2" x 11" card stock. First blue matte: 4 1/2" x 6 3/4" White matte: 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" (The white matte is the base of our stamped flag, boots and strips compilation.) For the Old Glory section (red), the paper size is: 4" wide x 5" For the Combat Boots section (blue), the paper size is: 4" wide x 3 1/4" Note: your red section will be partially placed under the blue section to create the waving flag.
