Assembling a Yoda Card

 My son-in-law is a huge Star Wars fan and has a birthday coming up.  I wanted to make a card with Yoda on it, but I didn't want to pay for the likeness, so I decided to make Yoda out of shapes from Cricut Design Space.  It was fun!

The inside says, "Celebrate, you must."

I also learned that the shape I used for Yoda's ears is called (at least in Design Space) a squircle.  And the shape I used for his clothing, not the cloak, but the other piece, is called an elongated scallop.  Who knew? And who knew that stars could look like his hands and feet?

I hope this inspires you to create something new!

Craft with Me!

 

Craft with me while I make a simple birthday card.  This DIY card kit is available for purchase here with FREE SHIPPING!

If you prefer, cut your own pieces and craft along with me. You will need a card base, solid cardstock, patterned cardstock, 3 swallowtails (2 solid and 1 patterned, one of the solids slightly larger than the other two for layering), and 2 circles, one of them larger for the base and one smaller for the sentiment. Base your sizes on the size of your card base. I used an A2 card which is included in the kit that measures 4.25x5.5 inches. The kit also includes a variety of sentiments in addition to Happy Birthday.

I hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching!
