Hello there!
Before I write any more, could you please go and sign this petition ohttps://www.change.org/p/grant-shapps-uk-secretary-of-state-for-transport-stop-skywriting-adverts-over-britain
to stop advertising in the sky being legal in the UK- the government pushed this through in March. Please sign.
It's been a while since I shared some cards on here.
I suddenly realise that I didn't share the cards I made in the Easter holidays. Maybe I will share those soon.
It was my Dad and my Step-Mum's Dad's birthdays in June (as well as my sister's which I shared a while back) and so I made them some cards on the day before we went to see them.
The first card was fairly simple, featuring different sized stars mounted on 3D sticky pads which came in a large pack from Poundland a while back. I've used these for quite a few cards in the last few years- see here. I thought it worked well as a Man's birthday card!
For my Dad's birthday card, I wanted to make him something with a Chemistry theme. My Dad is a Chemistry graduate and he part of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Energy group.
I looked at the periodic table to see which elements could spell out words.
Alas, Happy Birthday was not possible from the Elements available, nor was Celebration or a few other things I tried.
Eventually, I realised I could spell his surname and Genius (which I'd seen on a Chemistry mug!)
Using the colours I found on an online periodic table, I punched squares from card and carefully wrote the element codes/names and atomic numbers.
To finish it off, I added 2 thin silver outline stickers!
My Dad was super pleased with it!
What do you think?

ReplyDeleteThey are very clever! I used to make cards, but it was a hobby that got out of hand and I soon got fed up and ended up giving the stuff away.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have time now which is a shame, I think sky banners are banned in japan, but we have worse! Advertising trucks, piping out music and the picture of the band or whoever they are advertising and they go around in a circle! Really annoying! Imagine that more!
Beautiful cards. Love the idea of making a chemistry themed birthday card for my dad.
ReplyDeleteI love them! I find cards for men so difficult. I particularly like the card for your dad, that's so clever!
