Vintage Telephone die Card

Belinda has been working on interesting ways to use your dies.

Here she has die cut two telephones.  Printed "lift receiver up!" on her PC and cut it out to stick inside the back of the card.  Then she stuck a pice of card stock inside the reciever on both ends to fill the holes and the front of the card where she has pop dotted the dial by putting a small piece of card stock behind where we used to write the number to fill the gap and placed the sticky foam dots there to raise it up.

Then she stuck the two telephones together just at the base of the phone and the two ends of the reciever.  Cut the receiver off the phone and glued a slim long piece of card stock into the handle which will fit inside the body of the phone when the card is closed.  She did not glue the sides of the body of thephone closed so it is easier to get the card in and out.

The speach buble is available in store and she used a personal stamp to write the happy birthday.

Card done!
