One in a Minion Birthday Card

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome. With the end of summer coming and both my kids heading back to school, it's been crazy around my house. I haven't had much time to get in my office to create, but I made some time over the past few days and decided to make a pop-up card using some of my new stamps from Sassy Club Stamps. 

My youngest loved (and still loves) the Minions. We've seen all the Despicable Me movies and the Minions movies more than enough times lol. So it was fun to make this card. 

I used Karen Burniston's Twist Panel Pop-Up for the pop-up piece and Sassy Club Stamps Go Bananas and Despicably Awesome stamp sets. 

I started with an A2 top fold card base using a bright yellow cardstock. I didn't have patterned paper that would go well with the Minions theme, so I created my own using a light blue cardstock, the stamps I was using for my card and Gina K Ocean Mist ink. 

I lined up my patterned paper on my card base where I wanted it, then I carefully placed the die to create the arms for this pop-up. I slid the patterned paper on to my die cutting mat and then die cut the pop-up arms. Karen shows cutting on solid piece of paper folding in the centre then cutting that, but I find mine always bulges in the centre, so I make two pieces, leaving a space in between. It still works well, so you could try it either way. 

I then die cut the four panels and arms from the same yellow cardstock as the base. Then I added dark blue for the background. I thought this would make my Minions pop! I glued/taped everything on to the base and tested my pop-up. For the assembly video on the Twist Panel Pop-Up, click here.

I then stamped all my images on to heavy weight smooth white cardstock using Detail Black ink. I coloured everything in with Copic markers. I will try to list all the markers I used in my supply list below. 

I added a label to sign the card at the bottom and add a Happy Birthday sentiment on the top. I should have lowered the sentiment more so my little minion could fit. Unfortunately, I had to trim him.

For the front, I added another  piece of my handmade patterned paper, then added more stamped images. I stamped the "you're one in a" from the Sassy Clubs Go Bananas stamp set, then used Karen Burniston's Alphabet die to create the "Minion". I added Copic markers and white Gelly Pen to add some dimension to my sentiment. 

I just love these stamp sets and they pair perfectly to Karen's Pop-Ups. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Below is a list of the supplies I used to make this card.
