These retro cameras were made using the wonderful For Mother and For Father papers.  A hidden back box on the camera opens to hold photos. I enjoy the versatility that the different papers offer as both feminine and masculine vintage designs are available. Handmade projects made with Pion Design are sure to be treasured.

Tara

Have a wonderful day crafting with the charming papers of Pion Design!

    Wow Tara! What fantastic works of art! Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyCancel

  • WOW!!! this is just AMAZING!!!!!!!!ReplyCancel

  • The pink camera is absolutely stunning that paper is amazing. I would love to see how the bellows were made for them so would like to know if there is a tutorial for them. TFSReplyCancel

  • Adele

    Hi Tara

    Im being a bit doff I cant seem to work out the size of the bellows. I downloaded the cutting file but I see it comes in WPC format will that work with my MTC? Or if you can give me the manual measurements please. The bellow goes from wide to narrow what is the width at the wide end and what is the width at the narrow end and how long is the full length of the bellow the full 12inches of the paper?

    Thank you for your assistance and you won’t believe how happy I was to find this tutorial thank you for sharing.

    AdeleReplyCancel

    • DT ~ Tara

      Hi Adele, There are ways to convert WPC to other file formats, so you might try an internet search to see if there is a way to convert to the particular file format you need. In the mean time, each of the four bellow pieces measure 8 1/4″ length. The widest width at one end is 3 1/2″ and this tapers/narrows down to 2″ at the other end. There are 22 score lines that are 3/8″ apart along the length of each bellow piece. The 2 long score lines opposite the 22 score lines, are 5/16″ in from the edge of the paper on each side. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any additional questions! TaraReplyCancel

Today I have  made a card using the frame Rosa 6×6″ from the Flower Frames collection. For the panels and the inside I have used matching pink papers and the panels on front of the cards are fixed by using 3D glue dots. The butterflies are from the Vintage Garden collection.

Antique Telephone Tara

This Antique Telephone box was so fun to make with the stunning pink papers of Vintage Garden.  The large top box opens from the back for plenty of gift space or photo storage space.

Have a great day crafting with the beautiful papers of Pion Design!

  • Connie R.

    Hi Tara!First of all what talent you have!Love,love your style
    of creativity! Can you please tell me where you got the antique
    telephone box? Thank you, keep the inspiration coming!
    Connie R.ReplyCancel

  • DT ~ Tara

    Hi Connie,
    I made the box with thick chipboard and then covered it with Vintage Garden papers. The box feet are a Tim Holtz Idea-Ology product. The top metal handle and holders came from Hobby Lobby (local craft store). I went to a local hardware store (Ace) and picked up the side crank handle and the side pulley piece. I also found the black phone cord and rubber pieces for the top handle at the hardware store. Hope this helps! Thanks for the kind comments!ReplyCancel

  • Theresa ~ Pion Design

    This is gorgeous!!! Love pink 🙂ReplyCancel

  • LEFEBVRE

    JE SOUHAITERAIS AVOIR LE TUTO POUR LE TELEPHONE ANTIQUE SVP C EST TELLEMENT MAGNIFIQUE TOUT CE QUE VOUS FAITES TOUTES MES FELICITATIONSReplyCancel

  • Sandra Steele

    This is absolutely breathtaking! I am amazed at your talent and this phone looks so real. Thank you so much for giving the instructions on how you put it together. I would have never thought of this or using that material. I now have to make one!ReplyCancel

  • Joyce

    Hi Tara, this is just too cute! Can you tell me where you got the round phone number piece? Thanks so much!ReplyCancel

    • DT ~ Tara

      Hi Joyce, The center round frame is a 7 Gypsies frame. For the round numbers, I just took some jeweled brads and removed the jewels with a craft knife and then applied black round epoxy 3-D number stickers that I found at Hobby Lobby. Hope this helps!ReplyCancel

  • Marie

    Hi Tara! Oh how I LOVE this! You are so clever and so talented!!! I’m working on getting everything together to make this so could you please tell me what you used for the cut out decoration that goes around the box, also what size are the boxes? Thanks so very much! Just can’t wait to make this, thanks again!ReplyCancel

    • DT ~ Tara

      Hi Marie, the decoration around the box is a Tattered Lace “Antique Frame” 3 in 1 die. The top box is completely square with each side measuring 5″. The smaller bottom box measure 5 5/8″ by 5 5/8″ with a 1 1/2″ height. Thanks so much Marie – I hope this helps!ReplyCancel

  • Joyce

    Hi Tara, thank you for your answers, I got the brads but I found a way to get the plastic out of the brad. Soak them in nail polish remover overnight and they just melt away, saves a trip to the emergency room, lol.ReplyCancel

  • Petra

    Hi there! I watch this site everyday to check on answers to make the phone with. Can you please tell us how many sheets of pion papers that we need, and what size are boxes, and where do you get the desings and what do you use for glue? Are the pearl string type or loose type? Also where do you buy the flowers? What size pearls? Please answer, been waiting a long time for answers, thank you very much!!!!ReplyCancel

    • DT ~ Tara

      Hi Petra, I used 2 sheets of Phlox (PD3602) and 1 sheet of the 6×6 Phlox (PD3702) as well as some border strips from one sheet of PD3610. The top box is a square with each side measuring 5″ by 5″. The smaller bottom box measures 5 5/8″ by 5 5/8″ with a 1 1/2″ height. I used a Tattered Lace “Antique Frame” die on the sides and the flowers were handmade using a Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die. The pearls are strips of 2mm flat back self-adhesive pearls that I get from a local craft store. I use Scotch quick dry glue on most of my projects. Take care!ReplyCancel

  • KristiYaYa

    Gorgeous and SO inspiring! Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

  • this would have to be the most gorgeous item I have seen created in a long time. Everything about it is just so creative & would be a stunning display item placed anywhere. I know you have mentioned twice now that you used tattered lace antique frame but could you please tell me what brand die this is as I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks very much and can’t wait to see your next creations. TFSReplyCancel

    • DT ~ Tara

      Hi Julie, Thank you so much for your nice comments! the actual brand of the die is “Tattered Lace” and is designed by Stephanie Weightman. I found it at a Hobbycraft store in the United Kingdom. You can check out the website (http://www.tatteredlace.co.uk/) to find worldwide distributors. Thanks again!ReplyCancel

  • Petra

    Thank you so very much Tara for the answers, but I have just one more question, what do you call the black rubber things that goes around the bottom of the phone handles so I will know what to look for? Thank you so much again!ReplyCancel

    • DT ~ Tara

      Hi Petra, I found those black rubber grommets at a local hardware store (Ace Hardware). They come in different sizes so I just found a size that would fit the handle. Hope this helps! 🙂ReplyCancel
