Tunnel Card Fun Fold

I’ve always wanted to learn to make a “tunnel card”, so I signed up for a swap at Convention called “Fun Folds”.  I made my first tunnel card and discovered it’s really simple!!

Can you tell by the photo… it’s a valley, mountain, valley fold.

Here’s a picture of the front of the card.  Love the owl hanging on by his toes!

• Colors:  Black Stazon, Real Red (2X2), Crumb Cake, Whisper White
• Accessories:  Owl Builder Punch, Woodgrain Textured Embossing Folder, Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die, 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, Circles Collection Framelits (#4 & #6), Basic Black 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon, Back to Black DSP, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Here’s another tunnel card…a very different look!

This card used a fun new stamp set called Big News, and pretty sparkly DSP called Gold Soiree.

What to do with the Hamburger Tag?

The new Hamburger Box Bigz Die has 2 cute tags on the end of the die.  One is a long tag you see here attached to the box,

and the other is a short tag that cuts out a heart in the middle.  It seems so short… and I’ve been trying different ways to use it.

Here I’ve added a strip of Tangelo Twist CS to make it a little longer.

 

 

Here’s another card:

Which one do you like best?  You see the snail adhesive showing at the top of the first card?  That bothers me!!  On this card, I only used Sticky Strip behind the tag, so it won’t show.

 

• Stamps: A Dozen Thoughts
  
• Colors:  Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist, Crumb Cake
  
• Accessories: Hamburger Box Bigz XL, Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, Gold Baker’s Twine, Tangelo Twist 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon, Small Butterfly, Small Pansy, and Small Heart Punches, Adorning Accents Framelits, Scallop Punch, Dazzling Diamonds

I’m sure I’ll soon see some very clever uses for this tag on Pinterest!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Pumpkin Give-Away! FREE Card-in-a-Box plus Markers!

Sign up for Paper Pumpkin and you’ll receive a surprise box in the mail each month!  Everything you need is in the kit!  Here’s what I found in my box this month…

The paper was this pretty blue design and was nice & thick.  It came with 8 envelopes and these shiny liners.  There was enough so that I could cut off the bottom of each liner to use the extra on my card fronts!

There were 4 wooden Thank You’s and 4 Congrats.

I always like to get creative with these, so I added a doily, butterfly, and some twine.

My daughter, Jenny used markers to color the thank you. The kit also contained a stack of those gold sparkly dots you see.I like this one!  I used  Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape, Gold Baker’s Twine, and punched stars from the shiny envelope liner.

When I was almost finished, I discovered they had given me an extra card to embellish!

Ok.  Here’s the offer (only good through March 31st!).  Sign up for My Paper Pumpkin (with me as your demo) and you will receive a free set of 2012-2014 In Color Markers.  Plus, I’ll send you a FREE CARD-IN-A-BOX!  You choose the theme!
