One more card and a quick post...I love the movies Despicable Me and I love so much that I torture my children at school by making them watch them over and over again. I keep hearing, "Miss Kim, we have already watched this movie, do we have to watch it again?" I always have to remind them who is in charge...LOL So after I saw JJ Bolton's sweet minion card (you can see her card
here) I had to recreate one of my own. It is not near as cute as hers but I am still very happy with it. I had to use my imagination a bit to come up with the "parts", a milk bottle bottom for the head and then a circle die to get the head band and roller coaster wheels for the eyeballs and then some black twine for the hair...so much fun to make! I am entering my card in the current challenge at
Virgina's View. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend.

ReplyDeleteThree cheers for your resourcefulness Kim! Your little fella really is sweet with his milk bottle head and his roller coaster eyes! Fabulously fun colors! This would make an awesome book cover!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable Kim - and something I may use for the kids next birthday!
ReplyDeleteI also love Despicable Me and have viewed with the grandsons several times. My favorite movie is Babe. This card is so cute and I will CASE this for grandson Jake's bd. Thanks for all your comments on my cards I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteFirst *hanging head* I've not seen Despicable Me...yet, but your accolades have convinced me to add it to my summer viewing list (I have seen Frozen and Cars...both delights!!) Your little miniion is darling, and his 'creation' pure brilliance. Having him peeking from the happy circle: simply charming!! Your card has planted a mega watt smile alllllll over my face!!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Too cute! I totally giggled at JJ's card and I love your take on it. Great way to use that phrase play die!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - I just LOVE your card Kim! DH and I (DH even more than me actually) LOVE all of the wonderful minions and have seen both movies multiple times (wish I was in YOUR class!) and this card is just TOO adorable..... I just have to try and duplicate it- So So fun!
ReplyDeletehaha! he's cute!
ReplyDeleteIt IS cute! I love how you make the "happy" sentiment in the window as one piece!! SUPERB! So glad that you join the fun over Virginia's View Challenge! Cartoons are not just for kids...my hubby is recently hooked with Frozen and just bought piano sheet music to play.....I don't care for his "practice" though.
ReplyDeleteLove your version of JJ's card - the blue background really let's the "happy" pop! It is a fun challenge to shift through your supplies to find what can be reworked to cut the shapes you need :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the movie, Kim, but if it's as fun and cute as your card, it's a must see ... can I join your class?! Just how much creativity can one person have ... milk bottle head, circles head band, roller coaster eyes ... awesome ingenuity to create this sweet little minion (or at least I hope he's sweet!). Smiling all over my face! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a CUTE minion. I wouldn't have the guts of try to create one from scratch myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is cute, and what a fun card. Love how you did the aperture, and it was interesting to see your creative imagination take wing to make your version of this card. Great way to use the happy die...Loved all the bright colors too! TFS & Hugs.(PS..no kids around, so I'm clueless as to this movie! It must be a good one though!).
ReplyDeleteOh how cute, Kim!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! We love those movies in our house too, in fact we need to replace the first movie dvd because we have worn it out!! You used the most amazing things to make your little minion, very creative and he looks so kooky popping out of your card. And of course having the word 'Happy' is perfect (its one of those songs that sticks in my head all the time and always makes me smile....). Can imagine your holiday weekend would have been very 'happy' indeed!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great CASE of JJ's card. I don't know this character, but I find him very cute nevertheless:)
ReplyDeleteOMG ADORABLE! WHo could EVER get tired of those minions? They're so funny!!! Great card Kim - I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable Kim! I have not seen this one! I know all the GK have seen it!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Kim! What a fun card!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that this card is so clever and cool. The minions are cute and you did them justice here in your creation!! Love the window with the happy word across it!! So well done!! Thank you for sharing your creative process as you made the minion!! You are really quite wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute!!
ReplyDeleteThis is ADORABLE!!! I saw JJ's card and I think I like yours better. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. This one is so cute. And, you had to be so creative to make it all work. I love that movie as well, and wish I were one of your students so I could watch it with you all day.
ReplyDeleteCool! You have me wanting to buy that die just so that I can make happy minion cards, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuper adorable. Beautifully crafted.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how I missed this adorable card, Kim, sorry, but I certainly saw your name just now in the HM list over at Virginia's View Challenge (Die Cut)! Congratulations! You deserve it!! Hugs, Darnell
