I needed to make a pirate birthday card the other day and was feeling a little tired and lacking creative mojo, so I cased this card from a very cute one I saw on Stampin' Connection made by Barb Rose and changed up some. Sorry, but you don't have access to Stampin' Connection unless you are a SU! demonstrator, so you can click her name and see her card on her blog.
Hey, it's worth it alone to become a demonstrator just to have access to the Stampin' Connection site!!! I'd love to have you join my team and be able to access all the awesome ideas on the site! To sign up, just go to my online store and click the "Start Your Own Business" button in the upper right corner. The password is PAPERCRAFTSWITHSHARON.
Ok, back to my card...
The pirate's body is the Build-a-Bear Big Shot die and..."Off with yer head!" {Sorry, had to do it!} The head is the Ornament Punch turned upside down. The shirt and pants are from the Build-a-Bear Beary Essentials die. I just trimmed the ragged edges on the sleeves and pant legs. The ear and the nose were punched with the 1/4 circle punch. I punched the earring first with the 1/4" circle punch and then with the 1/2" circle punch. The scarf on the pirate's head is also the Ornament Punch, trimmed down. Everything else is cut free-hand.
Hope you like this little pirate as much as I do! Have a great day and thanks for visiting. :D
