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.

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

For the center of the eye patch, I glued on a sparkle gem for
some extra flair.
