CASology - Week 59 "Book"

 

 

This card is being submitted to CASology Week 59 with the cue word book.  Like many I do not have a stamp with books so I had to put on my thinking cap.  Recently I purchased a new magazine which had a free stamp and the issue had a phone stamp.  So I came up with phone book or address book.  I do use an address book and I keep one in my craft room.  

First I typed the word "addresses" a few times in different fonts and then printed the page on my favorite kraft paper.  I selected this great font "academy engraved" and chose  18 pt. font size and selected a brown/red color.  Next I stamped the telephone stamp in black and heat embossed the image.  I trimmed the image to a size that fit my base card and I cut a small strip for the left side of the book and scored a line.  I placed the book on a piece on poster board but positioned it so a smidge of white showed on the top and the right side of the book.  I used pop-ups but also added a small piece of mounting tape on the right side so that the book would not sit perfectly flat, as if the book had been opened a lot.  Next I embossed the base cardstock with a medium size polka dot embossing folder like replicating the dial on the phone.
