Pirate Girl Shape Card

This week at She's A Sassy Lady, Sheila has challenged us to make a shape card by welding two shapes together.

My friend Mariana needed a pirate card for a little girl who is turning 2.  I thought this would be a fun card to make into a shape card!!

I sized all the pieces from Paper Doll Dress Up to 4 inches.  I copied, flipped and welded two shadow people to create my card.

I used Hide Contour to hide the eyes, nose and mouth on the body.

I used this Peachy Keen stamp for her face.  I liked that she is winking here as I wanted to patch one eye AARG!!

Here are the pieces all put together.  I used stickles for the patch, nail polish, shoe buckle and hair.

I put a gem flower in her hair and ring on her finger ~ isn't she stinkin' cute?!?

Here is a side view.

My card would not be complete without a Sassy envelope.  If you want to see Sheila's video on how to make any sized envelope, go HERE!

Now let's get started on my layout!  I typically create 2-page layouts and I usually start with the photos.  Since I do not have the photos yet, I started with the paper.

I used paper from this Nantucket DWCV Stack that I found on CLEARANCE at Michaels!

I sketched out my layout on paper. I saw two different non-Disney cruise layouts I wanted to incorporate, as well as some "hidden Mickey" suggestions from my friend. ****I would like to add that Amy's Cruise Layout was a big inspiration for me and you can see it HERE!!!  Amy ~ thank you for reminding me where I saw this as you deserve credit for the project inspiration!!

I open a 12x24 mat on my Gypsy to layout to plan my 2-pages together.  I put the life preserver from Life is a Beach in the center of the mat and sized it to 11.17w x 10.75h.  I only cut out the stripes from the layer (not the rope) as I wanted my life preserver as big as possible to fit a photo inside.

I cut out my life preserver and stripes and centered it on my two pages. 

Next, I wanted to make my own mermaid Disney Style.  I took the mermaid from Life is a Beach at 3 inches.  Because LIAB does not have individual layers, I just hid the extra pieces with Hide Contour instead of cutting out all of the layers in yellow, green and pink.

On the bottom layer, I welded Mickey Mouse ears to the mermaid.

I took some of the charms from LIAB and created a Mickey Charm of my own.  I sized them all to 1.5 inches.

I cut them out in black so they would be visible on the page.

Next, I opened a new layer on my Gypsy and shut all the other layers except the one with the life preserver.  I used Mickey Font for my letters and spaced them around the life preserver.

I cut them out in black cardstock.

I cut my life preserver in half and adhered them to the pages.

I used my negative piece as a template for my letters.  I ran the letters through my Xyron and stuck them down.

Once you start, the template stays in place.

I gently pull the template off the page.

My letters are perfect every time!

Here is my mermaid taking shape, but she needs a face and some sparkle!!

I gave her a Peachy Keen face and added lots of stickles!!

What do you see in the clouds??  I see Mickey!  I found this cloud shape in Pop-Up Neighborhood.

The sun is from Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons.  I cut an extra Mickey Ears for the sun!

I stickled up the charms and used some twine to create a banner.

I stickled up the sun and clouds.

I put my mermaid next to the life preserver so it looks like she is featuring my photo!

I added the silver anchor and some silver photo mats.  I added the year to the photo mat.

Here are my pages together ~ now I just need to go and get some photos!!!

I always take a special notebook when we go to Disney to record the little details that I want to remember after we get home.  This one is made from some Toy Story paper and stickers I got at WDW.  I used my Bind-It-All to assemble it.  I am including one of these in my Blog Candy today.

I also covered a composition book and threw in some Mickey buttons and acrylic Mickey Heads.  In order to qualify, you just need to leave me a comment with a favorite Disney memory (can be a trip, a movie, a halloween costume ~ anything)!

Don't forget about our linky party ~ you can join in the Disney Fun!!
