Our third Mystery Zoom of 2023! Here are the tunnel cards we made.

We started with a base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored AFTER the sentiment or image is stamped in the center. Another piece of a complimentary color 8-1/4″ x 5-1/4″, scored in the center and then each side in half is layered on top of the base. Cut an opening in this layer using an oval, circle, rectangle, heart, whatever you like. If you have a coordinating sized die, use the smaller one in a piece of white, vanilla or complimentary color. Add DSP to each side panel, then embellish as desired.

For the card front, use DSP or an embossed panel 4″ wide x 5-1/4″ tall. It can be layered.
