I got the Pirate and Princesses cart when I was in Auckland at the Sanzi workshop. I knew there would come a time when I needed to do something on this cart. My DD wanted a birthday card with a pirate so I used the first icon and chose to weld the 2 pirates together with CCR. Wifi to my E2 and cut them out.
The welded pirates
Now putting him together was really something all those little bits and I have never been good at jigsaws, but I did add stickles to him to make him a bit of a flashy pirate. The Pink under him is a mat that I am working on.Then as the little chap is turning 5 I added a five to the inside of the card so that when the card opens up he has a big 5 he can have scrapbooked for his birthday.

The inside of the card
Now the round top box has been made this time into a treasure chest. The back has treasure chest inked through a stencil of vinyl. the vinyl letters I used on the front.
These letters are 7mm high which is just over 1/4 of an inch. Very small and I was impressed the cricut could cut them. I did kiss cut them in vinyl which I think made a difference.
On the front of the treasure chest I added a tag and added 4 sparklie brads to set off the vinyl wording.
I love the sparklie Pirate
What a great Pirate card!!! I so love all of the sparkle you added to him. And that Treasure Chest is just wonderful and great for a special treat for the birthday boy. Thank you so very much for joining our 'Shaped Card Challenge' at BBTB2!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome-and the sparkle adds just the swagger a good pirate needs! So fun! I know what you mean about trying to assemble all the little parts-it's enough to make me say a bad word sometimes, lol! Thanks for joining our BBTB2 challenge this week!
