Arrrgh! It Be Hybrid Thursday!

Hey everyone! It's Thursday again and time for another release over at The Digichick. Kelleigh designed a cute little Daddy's Toolbox template this week. Check out Kelleigh's blog for a great tutorial on assembling the box, plus a free little tool download to coordinate with the template. When I put mine together I had my little nephew on the brain, so I pulled out my favorite stamp set by TCP {Arrgh! Piratey!} and went for a treasure chest theme, complete with Reese's peanut butter cup pirate booty!




Here's what I did:
  • Printed the lines-only pdf version of the template on brown paper bag paper from Paper Accents.

  • Trimmed template, scored and sponged all folds with Vintage Photo ink

  • Cut panels for all the sides from cream cardstock, stamped randomly with Vintage Photo ink, then sponged the edges with first Vintage Photo Distress ink and then Brushed Corduroy ink

  • Stamped the sentiment on the front panel and stamped the little pirate dude on cream paper

  • Paper pieced the pirate dude's shirt and hat and then matted on Petite Scallop Circle Nestabilities die cuts

  • Finished off with a vintage decorative brad for the latch
