Dia Daoibh!
Well, that was a lovely two days of sunshine, wasn’t it? Just enough time to dust off the barbecue, dig out the sunglasses, and remember what that big yellow thing in the sky is called… before the rain came back with a vengeance. Ah, Ireland, you fickle tease. One minute we’re basking in the glow of "summer," the next we’re back to the usual—windswept hair and wellies as permanent footwear. But hey, at least it keeps our complexions dewy, right?
Now, onto today’s card—because what better way to cheer up a soggy day than with some good old-fashioned Pac-Man nostalgia? I designed the pixelated SVG files with a little help from Corel Draw. Meet the gang: Pac-Man himself, Clyde, Blinky, and Inky, all cut out with my trusty Silhouette Cameo. I mounted them with foam tape for a bit of dimension because, let’s face it, flat is so last season.
The "HB2U" letters are in the Joystick font (free download—thank you, internet!) and were also cut with the Silhouette. I layered them up and then, because everything is better with glitter, I went full magpie and bedazzled them in black sparkle. Because why wouldn’t you want your birthday message to look like it’s been dipped in disco dust?
Onto a few challenges:
- Alphabet Challenge: Z is for Zoom .. because Pac-Man moves at 11 tiles per second ;)
- My Time to Craft #557 - Rectangle shape-based cards
- Krafty Chicks #762 - Birthday
- Fab n' Funky #613 - Boys or Men
- Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge: Happy Birthday
- The Male Room #197 - Geometric
- Cardz 4 Guyz #369 - Fun and Games
So there you have it—a card that’s fun, nostalgic, and just the right amount of extra. Perfect for any retro gaming fan, or really anyone who appreciates a good glitter explosion.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to dig out my raincoat… again.
Sláinte,

So fun, and brings back memories of begging for quarters to play Pac-Man at the bowling alley with my dad. Perfect card for our challenge at Cardz 4 Guys, thanks for joining us!

Well there’s a blast from the past! Sure was a fun game, I didn’t remember the ghosts name though. Thanks for joining us at Krafty Chicks Challenge this past week for our BIRTHDAY theme :) Hope you join us again soon.

What a super cute, fun and clever card! This takes me back to my childhood days! LOL I love your take on how fast the Pac-Man moves and when you're playing the game, it certainly DOES go fast! Thanks so much for sharing your cute project with us at the Alphabet Challenge!
Fun birthday card! Great for boys and could be a retro card for anyone born/living in the 1970s-1980s!!!! And we're having crazy 'spring'/winter weather too! Friday and Saturday were nice sunshine 60+/-*F days but today is overcast with wind gusts...ugh! Thanks for participating in the rectangle card shape theme at MTTC! -- Becca
