I made a mixtape for my husband! For all the lucky boys and girls who had ever made or received one, you know it was such a labor of love! I wonder if there’s any modern day equivalent to that in terms of time and effort.
I used two of my current favorite things to make this. The Spotify code link (to our wedding song), and the eucaboard. I love the smooth finish and color of eucaboard, so I don’t have to stain or paint it. Spotify code can be linked to a song or a playlist, so it’s like a modern mixtape!
Seems risky to use the Spotify logo and Spotify name in your product and product listing. Their codes can’t be used on a product without Spotify’s written permission either. The laser work looks nice though.
Thank you for the reminder! My file doesn’t include the Spotify code though. I only added that for my personal use. That space is empty so you can also put the title and singer of the song.
Yes that’s me! I remember calling into the radio station to request a song and have to wait for it. So different from the instant gratification of onDemand everything!
Brings back so many memories. I can’t be the only one to have folded up a small piece of paper to scotch tape into the holes on top so I could record over some demo/old cassettes right?
Thank you! Eucaboard is eucalyptus MDF board. It 's the darker wood I use as the base layer. I got it from Home Depot. The guy there called it eucaboard, and so is the sticker on the panel. On the Home Depot website it’s called “Hardboard tempered panel”. It’s smooth, and I love how it simulates engraving without engraving. I personally don’t like engraving in larger area because the wood breaking down, but using eucaboard gives me that flexibility to create a darker border around my designs.
Love this! I’ve designed some retro prints for my POD tshirts like this and this has certainly inspired me to make some similar retro items with my GF+ when it arrives! Brilliant for Valentines! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
