With arrival today (July 2) of “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” opening at theaters here and abroad, I decided to create a Minion notecard, suitable to friend someone, expressing thanks, or simply thinking-of-you moments.
Usually have a Minion card in my collection, but none recently, so the Wild Cards file now welcome these cuties.
Sharing these cards, before shuttling to catch a matinee screening of the movie. Don’tcha adore the Minions??
My Wild Cards creation, to welcome the new “Gru” film.
With the creative juices going, I revisited my notecard-making project yesterday, and whipped out another series of postcard-notecards. Using sticker images acquired some time ago, I fashioned an old-fashioned “aloha” postcard, in notecard motif, depicting hula dancers, surfers, Aloha Tower, and pineapples for visuals. Sharing a few of the specimens here.
Have been neglecting my card-making in recent weeks, so decided to get back on track. Latest creations: One is dubbed Super Bowls, with a bunch of Asian bowl meals, like ramen and shrimp in a donburi. The other is called “Sweet Leilani,” cuz it’s a lei motif comprised of teeny-tiny sweets in the form of candy, strawberries, and fruits like oranges and watermelon slices. Real miniatures, hence “sweet.” “Leilani,” since its shaped like a lei.
Enjoy — part of my Wild Cards additions.
Haven’t done new notecards for ions — had been focusing on Valentine’s and Easter pins earlier this year — so I spent a useful and productive hour today, creating six new postcard-design notecards.
The motif is Hawaii-oriented — Aloha Tower, hula dancer, pineapple — and pleased with the results. Only wish I had more stickers to do more cards.
A tisket, a tasket, it’s soon time for an Easter basket.
Well, a lapel pin in the motif of a basket, depicted here.
Did about two dozen of these little guys; fun to make, but labor-intensive, and requiring tiny ornamentals of bunnies and chicks.
They’re part of my Easter thrust this year, and yes, I’m happy with the results.
