I have to say that I really love this set and so does my husband!  lol  This new set, Buried Treasure by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company, is just perfect for kid cards.  Now according to my husband, it's also perfect for the "big kids too". I'm going to take that as a not to subtle hint to make sure I use the set for his next birthday card. ;)
 
I started out by stamping my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock, colored with prismacolor markers, and cut out before layering onto some Debbie Mumm designer paper.  Then I lightly stippled Tim Holtz brushed corduroy distress ink over the card, designer paper and also the cut out images to "age" them all a bit.  After "aging" everything, I popped up the sayings, parrot and then made my own pineapple using a Marvy pear punch, cocoa marker, and some shredded artichoke colored Michael's bridal confetti flowers.
 
Once the outside was finished, I started on the inside by adding the pirate ship, a strip of designer paper and another handmade pineapple.  Here's a close up of the inside.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win today's set.

  1. This is a perfect "big kids" set. I have a co-worker who celebrates "talk like a pirate day" every year. As a teacher, it's so much fun - especially to tease him about it. But it's also a great excuse to make some fun cards.
