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,
Wendy R.
