I've been wanting my loot cards in S&S to feel more unique - more like rare and valuable items in my character's hands.
So, I've created a template that I can use to recreate all of my loot cards:
Skull and Shackles Loot Template
I'll probably take the artwork from the originals, add them to this, and then print this out and sleeve it just over top the original.
If folks are interested, I may throw the Adobe Illustrator template up on boardgamegeek.
Made some revisions and mocked up Svingli's Eye in the new template. Feedback welcome.
Not to rain on your parade, but I don't think that this card complies with the community use policy (the template should be fine though).
At the very least, you need to mention the CUP, and even then I'm not sure that you have the rights to use the artwork (was it ever used in the paizo blog or did you contact the artist?)
I'd advise you to put it down until you've sorted out any copyright issues.

Nice catch. Revised:

I might be wrong about this, but in my interpretation, the CUP doesn't extend to the artwork used in the cards featured on the blog.
But this is something someone like Vic should verify I guess.
According to the Paizo Community Use Policy:
You may use any of the text or artwork published in the Paizo Blog at paizo.com/paizo/blog, with the exception of excerpts of Planet Stories publications, Pathfinder Comics, and any logos and icons that aren't also in the Community Use Package. You may not use any photographs published in the blog (because those rights are usually not ours to offer). You may not use artwork, including maps, that have not been published in the blog, although you may create your own interpretations of material presented in our artwork and maps, provided that your interpretations don't look substantially similar to our materials.
So the distinction is that the actual card hasn't been used, just the artwork within the card? I'm not sure I recognize the difference, since it's effectively just a matter of cropping... but I'm not a lawyer. I'm highly interested in hearing the official response.
Seems pretty clearcut to me, he's using the artwork published on the blog. Using only a subset (crop) of that artwork doesn't suddenly make it not qualify as the permitted activity of using that artwork.
(I also generally don't know why we'd go out of our way to worry about this issue on their behalf, at least not once it gets to the point of being at worst a loophole and not any sort of genuine ethical issue)

My thoughts exactly...
Not looking to make any money or steal their IP, just showin some love for a great game :)
And speaking of, here's Ak looking gloomy despite having some sweet loot:
Really wishing that more of the artwork for the Loot cards had been posted to the blogs! I've done almost all my loot cards, but it looks like there have only been a few that I can share due to the Community Use policy.
Still, all the ones I've done so far that I can share are available here:

This includes Pirate's Favor, Rickety Hake, Brine's Sting and Svingli's Eye.
The blank template is also up there if you should want to scan and mock up your own...
Huh, just now noticing that my community use blurb at the bottom got garbled. Not sure how that happened, but will fix later.
