Personalised Mix Tape Cassette Decoration & Greeting Card

Do you ever think back to when you were younger, a time when things seemed less busy, noisy and more carefree… I say “seemed” as memory can be a funny thing. I was thinking about this a lot over the summer months and when I was home I found some old mix tapes in the cupboard. Prized gifts given to me by friends at school, each with a theme and a set of songs carefully recorded off the radio. There was quite a skill in trying to hit record at exactly the right moment to avoid the radio jingle. Cassette tapes aren’t really a thing any more, but if you were to make one for a friend what would you include on there?

I decided to have a little fun with this and have designed a very interactive Christmas card and decoration. The cassette tape can be personalised with a name (by me), but the greetings card itself is also designed to be personalised (by you). The card is based on a cassette tape cover and on it you can write a list of songs or events that sum up your 2022 together. Admittedly this card takes a little more work than a regular card but when was the last time you put mix tape effort into your friendship?
