There is something irresistible about a treasure map. Add a tropical island, a magnificent sailing ship and three fearless pirate captains, and you have the beginnings of a wonderful paper-crafting adventure.
The new Pirate Girls Printable Mini Kit contains ten coordinated pages for junk journals, scrapbooks, cards, planners, pirate parties and imaginative creative projects. The collection is bright, richly illustrated and packed with more characters and motifs than our usual mini kits—including two full sticker selections.
Three original Pirate Girls lead the adventure. One carries a brass compass in a long teal captain’s coat, another searches the horizon through her telescope, and the third stands confidently beside her treasure chest. They are joined by raspberry and turquoise sailing ships, tropical islands, hidden caves, parrots, treasure maps, anchors, keys, pearls, shells, compasses and glittering gold coins.
The palette combines raspberry pink and coral with sea turquoise, deep lagoon teal, warm ivory, charcoal and antique gold. It feels adventurous and nautical while remaining cheerful, feminine and suitable for a wide range of paper crafts.

Ten Creative Ways to Use the Pirate Girls Kit
1. Make a Pirate Adventure Junk Journal
Use map paper for page backgrounds, then layer ships, islands and character stickers over torn papers. Add journal cards inside pockets and tuck tall tags behind larger focal pieces.
2. Plan a Treasure Hunt
Write clues on journal cards, labels and tickets. Place each clue inside a decorated envelope and finish the final location with the large treasure-chest ephemera.
3. Create Pirate Party Favours
Tie the tall tags to kraft bags or small boxes using teal and raspberry ribbon. Add a sticker or printed washi strip to coordinate the containers with invitations and table decorations.
4. Make Handmade Birthday Cards
Mount a section of nautical plaid or map paper on a card blank. Add a Pirate Girl, ship or treasure chest as the focal image, then finish with a small banner and gold details.
5. Decorate a Reading Journal
Use the five bookmarks as reading gifts and add journal cards for book titles, favourite characters and adventure notes. “Captain of My Story” makes an especially good cover motif.
6. Build a Mini Treasure Album
Create a small accordion or ring-bound album using the mini papers. Use tickets and faux stamps as tabs, then fill the pages with photographs, journaling and layered ephemera.
7. Create Planner Stickers and Dividers
Cut out the smaller stickers and washi strips to decorate weekly planner pages. Ships can mark travel plans, treasure chests can highlight savings goals, and compasses are perfect for important decisions.
8. Make Storytelling Cards
Choose a Pirate Girl, a location and two objects from the sticker sheets. Use those pieces as prompts for a short story. Children can draw additional scenes or dictate their tale to an adult.
9. Decorate Happy Mail
Turn the map paper into envelopes, add stickers to the outside and slip a journal card or bookmark inside. Finish with twine, ribbon or a faux-postage stamp from Page 5.
10. Create a Pirate-Themed Scrapbook Page
Layer photographs with map paper, tickets, shells and a large ship. Use the tropical writing frame for a caption and repeat small gold compass motifs across the layout to guide the eye.
Printing Tips
Print at Actual Size or 100% for the intended dimensions. Matte presentation paper gives the artwork rich colour and crisp detail. Lightweight cardstock is helpful for bookmarks, gift tags and card toppers, while ordinary paper is suitable for journal pages, collage and envelopes.
Test one page before printing the complete kit. Printer settings, inks and papers vary, and a test sheet is much cheaper than sending a rescue ship after ten pages of unexpected purple sea.
