It’s a Pirate Party

6/28/25 Weekly Favorite (favorited by two fellow crafters) at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hi friends, happy Fri-YAY! Every day is like Friday when you’re retired! I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring stamped, embossed and die cut images and sentiments from our Pirate Party Stamp and Die Bundle. The illusion of sea water was achieved by spritzing panels of Perfect Blend Cardstock with Tinsel Blue, Peacock and Wheat Chroma Mists which I combined with panels cut from Not Your Mamas Cardstock and Vintage Plaid Papers. This triple cube card is one of my absolute favorite fun folds of all time and I always enjoy putting them together.

I cut the card base and cube panels from Midnight cardstock along with layering panels from Perfect Blend cardstock, Not Your Mamas cardstock and Vintage Plaid paper. I spritzed the Perfect Blend cardstock with Tinsel Blue, Peacock and Wheat Chroma Mists to achieve the look of sea water. I stamped a couple sentiments and a variety of images from the Pirate Party Stamp and Die Bundle in our Raven ink and once again in our Clear Embossing ink, then heat embossed them in our Icicle Embossing Powder.

I colored the images with Karin Brushmarker Pro markers and then cut them with the coordinating dies. I created a mechanism for the front sentiment using a 3/4″ circle punch. As with all projects like this, the assembly is always the most fun, and this was no exception. It was delightful watching it come to life! The finishing touch on the front was adding several of our Violet Shift Flat Back Crystals.

I cut a couple panels from the back from Perfect Blend cardstock and adhered another couple images and a sentiment, which completed the card. How stinkin’ fun is this?!
