For the Captain of my Heart!

Happy Monday!!

With all the fun Valentines stuff out, how can you not get in the spirit.
Today I'm sharing a project I did for my design day over at Jaded Blossom.

This little treat box measures about 3.5x4.25. Just big enough to add a variety of goodies.

My pirate dude has been in my big stash of SVG files for quite some time. I really need to find a way to organize them to know what I have. It's kind of like digital photos, they hibernate in your computer rarely to be seen.
Perhaps that will be my goal project this year and get them organized so I know what I have and start using them. If anyone has any ideas of things you have seen or have tested, let me know!

Wow- got way off track!

With my box put together and my pirate pieced, I just needed a perfect sentiment. Well, I found that in the Pirate Booty Stamp set form Jaded Blossom. 

Complete list of supplies for this project:

Treat box file - Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

Pirate - Lettering Delights

Jaded Blossom Flag Die 

Jaded Blossom Pirate Booty Stamps

Peachy Keen Boy Mate face stamps

I wish you all a crafty day!

Jaded Blossom June release Day 1 - Yo Ho Ho

Welcome to day one of the June Jaded Blossom Release week!

I am so excited about this release because all the stamps are so super cute. 

We start the week of with the Pirate Booty and Pirate Candies stamp sets. 

I decide on a lollipop cover for today. Kinda reminds me of a sail on a pirate ship.

I started with a piece of  2.5" x 7" piece of card stock paper that I scored at the half way mark on the long side. 

With the card stock folded in half, I placed the inner portion die from the Jaded Blossom Treat Bag Die making sure the bottom of the die was below the fold before cutting. That left me with a strip that now has a cute top on each short side. 

Open up the card stock so it lays flat and scored again .25" on each side of the middle fold. This makes for a flat base for my treat to sit in.

The inner beige mat is made by using the same treat tag die but I trimmed the sides to fit on the black card stock for a layered effect.

The Pirate is from the B is for Boy cricut cartridge with a bit of washi tape behind him. I stamped his face using PKS Boy Mates face stamps. 

Now that the cover was ready, I punched holes on each side of where the stick of the lollipop would be and used some twine to do a criss cross effect to look like the ties on a sail. this will hold the lollipop in place.

The sentiment from the Pirate Booty stamp set is stamped on a flag using the Jaded Blossom Treat Flag die and there you have my Yo Ho Ho treat!

Here's a look at the complete stamp sets showcased today.
