Pirate Tri-fold Birthday Card - Arrrrrggg!

Hello me Mateys!  'Tis time for another challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  Charlotte challenged us with the theme "Let's Take a Trip".  Make a project that has something to do with traveling.  It could be a mode of travel, a destination, reason to travel, etc.  I decided to get out my Buccaneer cartridge and play with it.  

 

 I had a lot of fun with this!  I just love that ship!  "Ahoy, 'tis a birthday boy" is done with the Storybook cartridge, arranged and welded with my Gypsy.
To make the letters stand out better, I outlined them with a black marker. 

 The papers are also from the Buccaneer cartridge and are all ink distressed.  I like both papers, but that green looks like the deep green sea with big bubbles floating around!

I pop dotted the layers on both the ship and the pirate. The card base is a file I created and saved on the Gypsy.   It's a really fun card and I love how it turned out! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Please go check out all the great inspiration from the other team members and then join in the fun!   Arrrrgggg!

My Sheri Crafts Challenge #96

 Hello again!  I hope you are having a great, Autumn weekend!  I love this time of year!  It's cooler, we finally have had some nice rain and the trees are actually showing some color.  I was so afraid they wouldn't.

But it's time for a new challenge with My Sheri Crafts and we are looking for anything Halloween Related.  I've made my first Halloween card this year for one of my grandkids.  It's also the first project I've made with my Imagine Buccanneer cartridge and the first time I've printed paper!

 The "happy halloween" is from Holiday Cakes, but the "Have A" is from Billionaire and I used my Gypsy to weld the letters and make a shadow cut.

 Isn't he a snazzy pirate with his purple feather?  I cut all the layers and pop-dotted them so he has lots of dimension.

 <-  And the inside.  I hand wrote the "Or You;ll" on the sword.  On both mats I used a distressing tool from Creative Memories, inked the edges with Tim Holz "Rusty Hinge" distress ink, then lightly wet the edges and scrunched it up.



What do you think?  I kind of like it and it was lots of fun to make. Now it's your turn!  I'd love to see your Halloween creations linked up at My Sheri Crafts!  Be sure to check out all the Design Team inspiration and our guest designer's beautiful work!
