Pa Poy, Pa Poy!!

I absolutely loved the movie Despicable Me – I laughed, I cried, I felt warm and fuzzy inside!!…But what I love even more is that my nephew also loves the movie…So when I saw a picture of  him posing like a minion with his 3d glasses just a few weeks before his 8th birthday, I knew he was giving me the perfect reason to google those lovable little yellow plops (??!!) and get inspired for a birthday card!

Here’s the outcome:

He was so much fun to make…I really liked how he turned out too – the Silver Glitter paper  for his eye-piece makes the whole card *pop*.   I used the super sharp micro-tip scissors to hand cut his mouth pieces

I had to send this card by mail to my nephew, and it wasn’t delivered on time due to the floods in Toronto that week.  But the best part is that on his birthday, he says he got all that he had wanted except a Minion card!!!  So he was THRILLED to get one, even though it was a few days late!

And in case you’re wondering where the title for this post comes from, here’s the inspiration:
