Birthday: Game On!

Our family loves to play games together- from board games to video games! A few of our favorites are:

  • Killer Uno (card game)
  • Perpetual Commotion (some call it Nertz)
  • Splendor (strategy)
  • Anything Mario (video)
  • Overcooked (video)

Seeing the “Level Complete” stamp set on my shelf reminded me that my son (an avid gamer) is adding an extra (year to his) life this month, so that’s where my imagination went when I saw today’s #tgifc463 Sketch Challenge.

I turned the sketch sideways and used the game controllers as the focal point:

The black & white designs on the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper are truly awesome whenever you need a masculine background!

A black card is striking with Daffodil Delight and Tahitian Tide, just remember to add a white layer on the inside to write on.

While we are the subject of Tahitian Tide (a 2022-2024 In Color), remember that it’s one of these bright hues retiring at the end of April, 2024, and we don’t really have any bright turquoise to replace it right now, so order an ink refill for your ink pads and card stock of the same color for coordination!

Does your family have a favorite game to play together? Tell me!

To re-create this card, you can click on the supplies listed and order from my Stampin’ Store- that helps me so I can continue to bring you great ideas you are welcome to copy. or spark your own imagination!

New at SU!- Level Complete Pull-Tab Flip Card

Zelda is a big deal for my granddaughter, so when the June “New at SU!” blog hop theme was Kid’s Cards, I thought maybe someone else has kids playing video games this summer. The new LEVEL COMPLETE stamp set is great for the young, and young-at-heart!

I wanted this to be an interactive card, as gamers love to “play” and fidget, and this one flips open when the tab is pulled on the right:

I saw Aubrey (of the Stampin’ Jill team) create a Pull-Tab Flip Card last week, I wanted to put my own spin on it!

To make it easy to assemble, here are the measurements (supply list at bottom of post), then you can watch either or both videos to put it together (my pieces are different sizes than Aubrey’s, as my card pulls from the right and hers from the bottom) :

Card base: 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″

First layer: 3-3/4″ x 5″, cut the smallest banner from the Stylish Shapes dies about 1/3 in from the left side for the mechanism to slide through before attaching to card base with dimensionals in each corner.

Mechanism: 1-1/2″ x 7″, scored at 4-7/8″ and 5-1/4″

Flip Layer: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/2″. Adhere this to the 3/8″ piece only, under the left edge of the layer.

Inside layers (2): 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″

TIP: Use strong adhesive, such as Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape because this card will be tugged and pulled over and over again!

Give this card a try- it comes together quickly when you have all the pieces cut and ready! If you can’t make it today, PIN it/save it for later and I’d love to see your version.

Off you pop to one of the other kid-friendly card ideas around the world:
