Parcel tape- “An inspiration”

On 10 December 2019, I celebrated my mother’s birthday with great pomp and show. I invited all my near and dear ones to attend the birthday bash. I got printed some beautiful invitation cards that were parcel tape inspired. 

You might be left with a question that ‘A TAPE’? 

How this could be an inspiration? 

Well, there is another story behind this. When I visited the printing shop, he suggested a few themes to select one. But, all were already seen or appeared boring to me. I was about to quit with this ideology of cards with some inspiration but finally saw a printed tape and pallet wrap which were kept on his desk; might be for packaging purpose. The time I saw these, an idea struck my mind. 

Actually, I was looking for something unique that has never been tried so far, so decided to try this commonly found item as an inspiration for invitation cards. I was quite sure about my choice and asked him if this could be possible. He said yes. I was over the moon with this different piece of art that I am going to add to my mom’s birthday party.

I gave him the order for 100 cards and paid some amount in advance as a token. After 2 days, I got a call from his side regarding cards. I was very excited to see the parcel tape inspired cards. 

I just took my keys and fled to the shop. It hardly took 20 minutes to reach. He greeted me in a soft tone; I smiled and greeted him back in the way as I have to catch a train. The excitement of seeing the cards was so intense that I even forgot my manners. However, I apologized for it and again greeted him softly.

He too smiled and kept the bundle of cards in front of me. It was an amazing job done by him. These parcel tape cards looked so beautiful and interesting that I can’t take off my eyes from them. I do not want to disclose the design as promised to him just to avoid duplicity.

I thanked him in abundance and handover the rest of the payment happily. He was so down to earth that he too thanked me for opening the doors of the brain to think beyond the imagination.

The party went well. My mom was on cloud nine as she was the centre of attraction. I felt happy to see her happy. 

All my kith and kin praised the designing of the cards and wished to do the same; for their future occasions.
