Celebrating World Piano Day with this piano card!
I was super happy with how this turned out, because it was pretty close to how I envisioned it – and I was also really happy with how easy it was to create!
I started piano lessons when I was 5 years old….and continued until I was in high school, though I switched focus to flute. (Sight reading on flute was so much easier than piano – only one line of notes to follow….LOL). World Piano Day is on the 88th day of the year, since there’s 88 keys on a full sized piano. To make this card, I simply cut strips of Basic White Cardstock (.75″ x 4″) and strips of Basic Black Cardstock (.5″ x 2″ I think? I don’t have the card in front of me as I write this…). I searched through my stamp sets and found one that referred to a note, so used that for the sentiment! It’s from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set – which is included in the Last Chance Sale that’s on right now. Selected retiring products are being offered at a discount, and this stamp set is one of them!
This piano card would be a great thank you for a piano teacher or to keep in touch with a musical friend. Check out this quick video on how it was made. (if you can’t see the video below, click here to watch it on youtube)
Fun, right? I was so pleased that it came together so easily. Truthfully, some of these “quick videos” can take a while to make – either because what I envisioned doesn’t actually happen (aka it’s a hot mess and I have to re-design it) or I mess up while constructing it and have to re-do it – but this one actually was a true one take from start to finish – I only had to make one version of this card!
