If you are joining the blog hop, you should have arrived from Veronica's blog. If not, you can start all the blog hopping fun at Krystie's blog. She has a complete list of all the stops in case there's a glitch along the way. There are a few prizes involved and not too many blog hop stops, so why not?! (The more blogs you comment on, the better your chances of winning a|s goodies.) Even if you don't have time to comment, you'll get to see a variety of a|s inspired cards.
My kids were invited to another pirate party, this time it was for a little girl. I was so excited, that I immediately created this card. I've made a few pirate cards lately and the best way to get an aged map (that I've discovered) is to stamp your images on kraft paper, ink the edges, distress the edges, and crinkle it up. I thought a paper bag would work well but I like the look of the kraft much better. I've also burnt the edges before but all the ashes can get quite messy. Have you ever made a map/old scroll paper? What do you like to do?

This next card I wanted something for a tween or a teen. A bit older with some attitude, yet still playful.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm participating in another a·muse|studio blog hop tomorrow, "follow" me and come on back to see the goodness!
Wait, one more thing! Want a little treat? Leave a comment and you'll be entered to win a prize (a small sampling of a·muse|studio flowers).

Great cards! Your map came out perfect and that is a really cute girl pirate card!
Crack me up to read about your pirate map. I, too, have burned paper to get this look. The trouble is...it's too fun to burn...one really needs to restrain oneself from burning up the whole piece! Oh, or is that just me?! Thanks for sharing two cards...fun way to end a blog hop.
Love these! They're both great and I love the map on the first one.
Cute cards!
Great card Kari! I have never made a scroll or map but it looks great on your card! I also like your teen card, I struggle with teen cards. Thanks for sharing!
Kari, your cards are adorable and so very creative! I love your style! Thank you for sharing your creations!
I love these cards Kari! I especially love the Pirate one with the treasure map! Genius!
Crazy about the You Rock card! I always need guy ideas.
I love the use of the washi tape, makes me want to take more risks with my supplies!
Love the washi tape used here. I really need to get me some. i also love the map!!
great boy cards!
Great cards. Love the map on the first one. Thanks so much for sharing.

Kari....super cute cards! I also have burned edges to create something old looking. It is too fun...but I also like your way on this card. Much cleaner and just as super cute!! Great job on both your cards!
Both cards are fabulous! Love the map.

Love both cards! I've made old maps by burning the edges of the paper but as you said that can be messy and sometimes burns more than you want. Yours looks great! I don't make many cards for teens so I'm always at a loss when it comes to those designs. I love yours. Great job!
Especially love the inside treasure! Well done, you!
Both cards are so much fun. You can always get a lot of mileage out of the Pirate theme and the Rock N Roll theme, both so versatile and gender friendly. I tell people that they "Rock" all the time. LOL That pirate card is adorable and you hit spot on for the Tween and I love how you added the tape.
Love your cards! That pirate one is so clever. And I like that you are getting into stamping inside the card! It is fun to do that and it's fun for the person on the receiving end to open the card and go wow!
