Just for fun, and because he is still young at heart, I made this minion card for my husband’s birthday …
He had seen the new Despicable Me 2 movie at the cinema with my daughter and her husband … a new definition of taking the kids to the movies perhaps??? Although I think the kids took him to be honest…
I used all Stampin’ Up! cardstock to paper-piece this cute minion character, also called Dave!
My hubby is one in a minion (pun intended)… when I recently had some passport photographs taken, he told me I looked gorgeous (and we all know passport photos are the worst!)… so this week, I think I’ll keep him … as long as he says more stuff like that…

Here’s what I used to make today’s card – all supplies from Stampin’ Up!:
cardstock: naturals white, pumpkin pie, daffodil delight, basic black, whisper white, pacific point, brushed silver; punches: various sized circles; accessories: stampin’ dimensionals, tombow glue, vintage trinkets, basic black marker pen, timeless type sizzlit alphabet dies (retired).
Thanks for dropping by today

She so loves Minions… And yours is the best I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of them made . The teeth is my favorite about yours also . Yours in ink Anne
Hello Anne and thank you for your comment. I’m glad you liked my minion card – it was great fun to make. I don’t really have instructions for it – I just paper-pieced the little guy together from card scraps. I used circle punches from Stampin’ Up for the eyes and glasses; other than that I just cut the pieces freehand. I cut a hole for the mouth and cut individual pieces for the teeth, adhered them on the backside of the hole and then adhered a pink piece over that (if that makes sense?) Hope that helps you a little x
Wow , that’s unreal . Your amazing .. It’s so perfect . Don’t think I could come close … On my own Without instructions… Idk … Don’t think I’m that Creative. Thanks for your reply . I appreciate it .. Your in ink Anne
