Happy Pi Day! Not PIE Day … Pi Day. You know, Pi (or π) – the constant ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter.
Okay, now you're about to learn a personal fact about me … my bachelor's degree is in Mathematics. Pi has all kinds of mathematical significance. However, when it's rounded to 2 decimal places, it equals 3.14. Thus, today is Pi Day! And here is my card to celebrate it. As always, click on the photo, to see a large view of it.
My colors are primarily neutral – Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake – but there is a little Melon Mambo for interest!
The words Happy and Day are stamped – they come from Happiest Birthday Wishes – one of the sets available only to hostesses. Of course, I hand wrote the Pi. The circles were stamped using the Circle Circus stamp set.
Plain circles would have been kind of dull. So, I added dimension in a lot of ways … always sticking to the circle theme. I layered lots of punched circles. I ran card stock through my Big Shot to emboss small polka dots. I stamped circles and used ribbon with circles. I even rounded the outside corners of the card to make them more circle-like! Of course, I sponged and used Stampin' Dimensionals!
So, if you're looking for a way to celebrate Pi Day, consider making a card. It's less fattening than eating baked pie, and definitely provides more hours of fun!
So, to all my readers and friends, Happy Pi Day!
I never thought of that! Good point!!
Very cute and educational at the same time! Your color choices made me think of Neopolitan ice cream from my childhood: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Hey! That goes really great with “pi”!
Now, I think that’s a very cool thing to do. In my younger days, I memorized only about 7 digits. 362 is absolutely AWESOME!!
I’ll try to remember to remind you next year.
We had a contest at school today- the winner knew 362 digits of pi! Could you fit all of those on a card? Love this idea for my math friends- remind me next year!
