The One with Not Another Vintage Phone Card

Hello everyone.

I had to make more phone cards, I love it and I have more planned. Today I am using the Hey, Hello, Hi Dies as well as the Let's Chat Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies to create this project.

The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change.

Background

Today's background is actually just a piece of patterned paper cut down to about 3 x 4 3/4 inches and then a added some fringe to make the panel 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 with the 1/2 inch fringe added. This panel was put onto the card base using craft foam and tear tape adhesive.

Focal Image

The only image on the card that isn't patterned paper is from the Time for Tea Designs Let's Chat Stamp Set. I love this phone. I used coordinating dark green cardstock. I heat embossed it using clear sticky ink and white embossing powder. Once heated and completely cooled I used the Let's Chat Coordinating Dies to cut out the phone image.

Sentiment

I used the T4TD Hey, Hello, Hi Dies to cut out the "hello" using both the hello die from the set and it's shadow. The "hello" was cut out of patterned paper that I thought coordinated well with the background. The shadow was cut from a coordinating piece of mustard cardstock. The sub-sentiment "i'm only a phone call away" is also from the Let's Chat Stamp Set. I also heat embossed this onto coordinating dark blue cardstock. The coordinating dies for this set are so fun because it comes with sentiment dies.

Embellishments

To add to the fun, I added a pink and white speech bubble from my scrapbooking stash. The phone cord was made using dark green twine and liquid adhesive. I coated the twine in adhesive and wrapped it around a thin plastic micro-brush. Once dry, it was curled like the phone cords of old. I used large glue dots to adhere the phone cord. Everything else was popped up using foam squares.

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Hey, Hello, Hi Dies as well as the Let's Chat Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies in the T4TD shop.
