A Pirate’s Life

Hello! Today I have some new pirates cards to share with some fantastic new products. It was an absolute joy to work with these (and I was surprised how much I liked them!)

The Pirates have Found the Loot!

This card was fun…I started with stamping the map in the background with a light brown ink. Then I inked up the edges of the paper as well. I die cut the ARRGH word die set with red and black (for the shadow). The bottom of the red ARRGH was inked with a darker red to get that gradient look.

I had a great time choosing the products to use to identify those pirates, and I ended up cutting out the peg leg, whiskey bottle, and hook. Of course, I had to use some silver metallic paper to really make it pop!

To finish it all off, I added some jewels…and the pirates left a trail! Lol.

A Map to Ye Treasure

For my second card, I used that AMAZING skull map die!

For some dimension, I paper pieced three more of the skull pieces on top (with a green inked skull at the very top). I thought this made it look more like SKULL ISLAND!

I stamped some of the Treasure map stamps in red, blue and black. I gold heat embossed the compass (always need a touch of gold on a map, arggh!)

If you follow the map closely you will find Mermaid Lake and the Buried Treasure! I added an eye patch on the island just for some extra fun. The eye patch is from the ARRGH accessories die set.

I hope you enjoyed these fun projects today! Check out the supplies below.

Yay Shaker Card

Hello! Today I have a fun YAY Shaker card to share with the cutest Back-to-School Hedgehog stamp set. I just adore this set and you will see why…check out my video below or in HD on YouTube:

If you know me, you know I love making Hedgehog cards and (dare I say this?) THIS hedgehog might be the cutest one yet!

I mean, look how cute he is!!

I love to make a good shaker card…this new YAY Word die is perfect for a shaker! It feels so happy, like you just want to shake it…so why not add some beads and sequins?

I started out with choosing my PINK PLAID paper from the new 6×6 pack (I will link it below). Then I stamped the Hedgehog image and cut the YAY word die from the same panel. Before putting the shaker together, I colored up that little hedgehog with Copic markers.

I created a shaker using acetate and double-thick foam tape. This makes it SO EASY! You don’t have to double up your foam tape, and that’s a big time saver and a WIN in my book.

Watch the video for my easy technique to make this shaker, and get that pink plaid border lined up all the way around!

Be sure to check out the entire new release over at Whimsy Stamps…the new narwhal stamp set is also so adorable!
