Stampin' Up! Disney themed Minnie Mouse Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

The Theme for the Great Card Swap group for July was Disney / Pixar. I'm afraid I took the easy route this month and made a Minnie Mouse card.

It's still very cute though, well I think so!

I used the Swirly Scribbles Thinlet Dies for the head and ears. The red spotty DSP is from the now retired Brights Designer Series Paper Stack. I made the bow using the bow builder punch. The sentiment and stars are both from the Wood Words Stamp set.

This is the card I received from the very talented Sally Shaw of SallyStampers, you can visit Sally's blog here.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you.  The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!

The lovely Amanda Charlesworth designed our sketch this month and here it is:

 My first thought when I saw the sketch was Oh My God what on earth am I doing to make. Then I had an idea, which didn't work so I tried something else, which also didn't work. At that point I was getting to close to giving in. Not one to be defeated I then started to look through my box of die cuts and punched shapes to see if anything would work and I came up with this design. 

I started off with a card base of Blushing Bride and cut a small piece of Melon Mambo with the wavy lines die from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlet dies to cut the wave. When I put it on the card I thought it looked a little plain so I ran it through the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (that's a bit of a mouthful). Then I added some of my favourite flowers and leaves from the Botanical Builder framelits. The happy birthday sentiment came from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm actually really pleased with the end result, I do hope you like it too.
