3D Vignette Telephone Details

We’ve spent all month making funny phone jokes and puns!  Do you realize this little relic is something that most teenyboppers haven’t seen in person?  Just as with the typewriter, the phone is an iconic part of our history and technology.  Ever evolving, this phone will always be a part of our coming of age.  During the month we played “I Spy” to peek into how folks were using this die and this is what we found:

  1. A shaker card
  2. A notepad holder
  3. A mini 4-page scrapbook (which will hold Instax pictures)
  4. A gift card holder
  5. A card with multiple sentiments
  6. A basket

We’re sure there are more, but in the meantime, here is some additional inspiration to pique your creativity. Don’t miss my designs in the introduction of the 3D Vignette Telephone post.

My Project Today using 3D Vignette Telephone

My project today takes minutes.  For my project I decided to take one of the many sketch books I have and create a Phone Book.  Yes, even though I keep my phone contacts in my phone digitally, I love having a place (a backup) where I have manually written down numbers.  Plus I don’t want every number in my phone – just the important ones.  In my manual phone book I’ll put my favorite dry cleaner, some of my stores, etc.

To make, I simply die cut a phone and applied it to printed acetate.  I did it that way because I wanted the beauty of the linen book to shine through.  I put my die cut phone on the sketch book with foam adhesive.

Designer Tip:   When working with fabric and clear acetate, it’s a-okay to use a line adhesive like ScorTape to adhere acetate to fabric.

Amazing Paper Grace August 2020 Die of the Month - Pop Up 3D Vignette Telephone - learn about this die at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=36354

Good Morning sweet friends!  If I haven’t been around lately its because I’m doing something I adore, I’m designing.  I’m excited to say that I’ve just finished a new set of designs for 2021 but wait, what about now?  Oh yeah, it’s the beginning of a new month!  That brings me to a new favorite – the  August 2020 Die of the Month, Pop Up 3D Vignette Telephone.  (Please do me a favor and have a peek at my video this month – I have a little surprise inside at the 5:47 mark that is a coronavirus blues buster).

This is one of those projects that is near and dear to my heart.  I can’t claim that I’m a full out scrapbooker, but I do like to give gifts that are personalized with sentiments or pictures that tell a story.  I might be one of those who gets a little too intimidated to commit to a large scrapbook page or a book with too many pages, but this is so do-able!!  It gives me room for a couple of sentiments and even space for a small picture or two.

Pop Up 3D Vignette Telephone

I’m always trying to remember to collect the memories while we’re in the journey.  This pop up card is the perfect place to display 1 to 4 sentiments or a sentiment and a couple of pictures.   I call completing the project “memory-making in biteable chunks”  It took me about 20 minutes to make the phone and about 10 minutes to print off pictures and insert them.  Here are the dies in the set:

While I am isolated from my loved ones, I’m ramping up to send out some little mementos.  I know if I send a regular card, it gets put back in the envelope. I know if I send a Pop Up 3D Telephone that once it’s popped up – it’s likely to be displayed.  Guess which option I’m going to go for – insert mischievous grin here :-)

The Pop Up 3D Vignette Telephone Video Tutorial

I’ve given you three different options in the video.  In the comments today, tell me which one you are inclined to make?

Here’s the last project for today, it’s a gift card caddy.  I love that as they lift the receiver, they will get a surprise!

I simply glued two of the phone bodies together and the receiver holds the slip in panel that holds the card.

That’s all for today but these are not all the projects I have to share this month.  This is truly one of my favorites, and when I got the opportunity to sit down and play, I made quite a few things.  I hope you’ll come back for more inspiration :-)

Friends, I can’t believe that five months later I’m still saying stay safe.  But it’s true.  You still need to keep up your guard and exercise caution.  Beyond all, please take care of yourself.  If you’re making lemonade through all of this, it’s the perfect time to get some crafting done. Reach out and tell your loved ones what they mean. Sending hugs always…

    Simply LOVE your 3D designs. I’m busy making the typewriter for all my gal friends birthdays next year. This phone will be an additional ‘pick your jaw up off the floor’. They all think I’m so talented. You get the credit and I can’t thank you enough. Be safe, be well and enjoy your weekend ?

Stay safe and keep creatingReplyCancel

  • Connie RileyAugust 1, 2020 - 6:37 pm

    Hello Becca,
    Your wonderful new design for August is perfect for the times in which we are living. A telephone, with options for increasing communication opportunities is something we can all use. I cannot decide which I’ll make first, the picture holder or gift card holder; both are fantastic ideas. You have encouraged me to get out of my crafting slump and send cards to those I love!!! Thanks ever so much for sharing your talent. Be well, safe and happy.
