Yesterday I mentioned a card I’d made I was just a little bit excited about. Â This is it – a Star Wars Yoda card for my Star Wars obsessed brother.
 I got the basic idea from this post on a blog called Little Miss Scrappy.
It took me a while to figure out all the bits and pieces so I thought I’d share the ‘card menu’ with you in case you want to make it yourself. Â I used a retired colour called Certainly Celery for Yoda’s body as I have so much of it still, but there are lots of greens in the current Stampin’ Up! catalogue that would work well.
Yoda

Head – 1 3/8 inch circle punch. Â It is hard to see from the picture, but I used my bone folder to make score lines in the top half of the circle for his wrinkles.
Ears – 2 of the wings from the bird punch in Certainly Celery and 2 wings from Chocolate Chip
Eyes – I used 2 of the medium sized circles from the owl builder punch in Whisper White and 2 of the smallest sized circles in Chocolate Chip. Â I also cut one of the medium sized circles in Certainly Celery and cut it in half to make the eyelids.
Mouth – I drew this on with my Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write marker.
Body – I used a retired extra large tag punch in Crumb Cake (the shape of the top of the tag gives him shoulders). Â Â The ticket duo builder punch, an oval punch or a trimmed off decorative label punch from the current catalogue could also work well. Â You could also just cut out a rectangle!
Belt – I used a Word Window punch in Basic Black and trimmed off the ends to fit.
Robe – I cut a tag punch out of Very Vanilla and cut it in half lengthwise. Â I then folded each piece in half lengthwise to make the flaps of his robe. Â I had to trim the folded part just slightly to make it perfectly match the shoulder line. Â The arms of the robe are a word window punch cut in half, with the rounded edges glued behind the main part of the robe.
Hands and feet – I used the feet from the owl in the owl builder punch. Â Tip: Â don’t try and cut and glue the teeny tiny owl feet! Â You will drive yourself mad! Â Far better to cut out an owl body and use the body as somewhere to stick the glue on and hide the body behind Yoda’s robe.
Light saber – I used the end of a piece cut from the (retired) jewellery tag punch in Basic Black for the handle. Â You could equally use the end of a word window punch. Â I used a word window punch in Coastal Cabana for the ‘sword’ part, but sponged it in Old Olive and silver ink to make it look like it was glowing.
Background
I tore a piece of Soft Suede card stock to look like the rough ground. Â I used my computer and printer to print the greeting on a piece of Bashful Blue card stock (this is also retired – I am using up my stash!) Soft Sky in the current catalogue would look just as good.
I hope you enjoy making one of these if you have a Star Wars fan in your life!
