Minion Birthday Card

Here's my version of a minion card, and it was so fun to make.  My friend Darren is getting this card for his birthday.  I got the idea from Pinterest, thank you to the AveryElle.com blog, such a cute idea, I just had to CASE it. 

To Make the Minion:

Use the 1-1/2" Circle Punch to round the top of a strip of Daffodil Delight for the Minion.  

For the eye, punch the 3/4" in the Smoky Slate, and then used the 1" Circle Punch centered to punch the gray ring.  

Punch 1" Whisper White (I trimmed the edge slightly so it does not show outside of the Smoky Slate).

Punch 1/2" in Soft Suede and Owl Punch (small circle) in Basic Black for the eye.

For the eye highlight I used my Uni-ball Signo White Gel Pen (retired), but you could try the White Stampin' Chalk Marker or another white pen or craft ink to make the highlight.

Supplies:  

Tin of Cards stamp set  (coordinates with the Designer Tin of Cards Project Kit)

Hello You Thinlits, Big Shot, Layering Circle Framelits Dies

1-1/2", 1", 3/4", 1/2" Circle Punches and Owl Punch 

Daffodil Delight, Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Basic Black Card Stock, and Real Red Classic Ink

Did you know the Tin of Cards Stamp Set coordinates with the Designer Tin of Cards Project Kit. This fun printed tin gives you plenty of room to organize and store the cards that you make from this kit, plus room for more. Kit includes tin and enough card bases, accents, and envelopes for 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs. Here's a look at both the stamp set and kit.

Swirly Bird Birthday Card from Card Class

Here's the cards from July's card class.  They were fun to make, that I made extras this month for birthdays!  There's a lot of birthdays on my calendar for July and August.

Top left: Jar of Love Tammie's Swap Card

Top right: Swirly Bird Card from LeAnn Greff

Bottom: Always an Adventure Card Swap from Luci Yuhas

I've already posted photos of my swap and Luci's swap, so lets talk about LeAnn's fabulous card.  I saw her using these colors and stamp set.  I just fell in love!  I didnt use the coordinating dies with it though.  She did and had a pop of color.  I had some laying on the table and decided they didn't need  the die.  Changed the greeting for what I need and I was off.  

Some friends and family are getting these in the mail this month.  I used my #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp for the envelopes too.

The Swirly Bird Photopolymer Stamp Set is a great stand alone stamp set, or buy the bundle and save!  Save 10% when you buy the Swirly Bird Photopolymer Bundle which includes the Swirly Bird Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating framelits Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies.

Lucy's Card Swap Always an Adventure

Here is the last card from the card swaps from the new Stampin'Up! catalog my group did a couple of weeks ago.  I just loved Luci's card using the Always an Adventure Bundle. It was such a fun card in our demonstrator swap. She's one of my downlines too and she's awesome!

If you are interested in finding out more about being a demonstrator contact me, or click here for more information.

The Always an Adventure Bundle is available in a Wood Mount Bundle or Clear Mount Bundle and comes with the Always an Adventure stamp set and the Outdoor Adventures Framelits Dies. 

Here are the rest of the card swaps some are CASED and some are not, but they are all great ideas using products from the Stampin'Up! catalog.
