Happy Birthday! #2

Aloha~

My BFF's birthday is coming up and I made this card. I've known her since early 80s, and I decided to use this fun dies from Trinity Stamps which was released in April. This set really makes me to remember Good Old Days in our lives. But, many of these great die sets are very intricate and the card becomes "labor intensive" and this was one of them. 😅Of course, you can make it simpler and can adjust in different ways which is also a lot of fun, but this one, I made it close to the "original" pac man (original release in 1980, 5 months after the release in Japan). I also chose to stamp "25c" from Newton's Nook Designs in the middle of two coin slots. That was actually the amount we inserted (a quarter) back then, and I wanted to emphasize that, instead of just hand writing on the coin slot buttons.

Inside, I really wanted to use this fun stamp from Riley and Company. When they released this stamp with big "80s", I HAD TO GET IT! 😄But, since this is the birthday card, so I had to adjust how to use it on this card. This is the result. 

I used some sentiment strips from Simon Says Stamps. I love these strips. They are easy to use! Nowadays, several companies make them. 

This is how much I love Pac-man. I'd like to brag here a little (!!) that I spent a quarter to play Space Invaders for 35 minutes before Pac man was released.😁I never forget that! Fun time! 😀

Hope you are having a nice weekend! Severe weather continues. 🌩🌪Stay safe! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve
