Detailed
Instructions for Cricut Pirate card:
1. Fold a
8.5" x 11" piece of
black card stock
in half to create a 5.5" x 8.5" card. This will be the card
base.
2. Cut a tan mats for the cover, at 8" x 5", then carefully
tear the edges to give it a rustic look. Glue this mat to the
front of the card.
3.
Using the Life is a Beach cartridge, load the white paper on
a mat. To cut the pirate, press the shift button. Then select
the treasure box button (button 44). Cut
at size 4".
4.
Load the black paper and the red paper on to a mat.
To cut the pirate layers, press "repeat last", then press the
"layers" special feature button. Cut at size 4" on the black
paper. Then, move the blade manually to where the red paper is on
your mat and press "repeat last" and press cut to make the layers also
in red. Assemble the card by
gluing all the components on the front
of the card.
5.
For the center of the eye patch, I glued on a sparkle gem for
some extra flair.
