call me!

Who knew that pre-tween girls {is that what you call 8-year olds} would be phoning each other in the 3rd grade? Sure, my daughter knows her phone number, but...


...wouldn't it be cuter to hand out a personalized calling card? There are so many Peel & Stick stamp sets from PSA Essentials that I could have used, but the FRENCHIE collection just seemed so right with that retro telephone image!

After designing a card in my word processing program with my daughter's name and telephone number, I printed them, added my PSA Essentials telephone image and trimmed them to size to fit into my business card sized tin. {I have these in my Etsy shop and you can find the tins here.}


To add more pink, if that's even possible, I added some scrapbooking paper from Momenta to the cards and threaded some baker's twine through holes that I punched in the cards. Yes, I even embellished the top of the tin with more pink paper and another telephone...just to make it extra cute! 


What a perfect size to keep in her backpack, don't you think? I just might make some of these for my 70-year old Mom, she's still a girly girl after all these years.
