3D Tunnel Card Club Scrap London Calling

The 3D Tunnel Card Technique seems to be my favorite this week. I created one for the Club Scrap blog on Monday and couldn't keep myself from trying another one with the collage image from the Borders & Backgrounds UM. I also incorporated the car from the Art Nouveau UM into the mix!

This expanding card measures 6-3/8 x 5-1/8" and can be collapsed to 1/4" for mailing.

Collapsed to fit into envelope

Six layers are stamped, colored and cut to create the 3D Tunnel effect.

The panels are then adhered to a pair of accordion folded papers.

Collage stamps are ideal for this 3D Tunnel Technique. Below is the tunnel card I made earlier this week using the Collection UM plate. It's the same . . . but different.

For more details about this card, check out my entry on the Club Scrap Blog.

Thank you for hopping with us! Next on the hop is Shona at Shona Scraps. Enjoy!

Wishing you a creative day,

Valentine's Day Blog Hop

Hi, and welcome to my stop on Club Scrap's Valentine's Day Blog Hop!

Paper Quilting Card with Club Scrap's Love Ink Collection

To share the love going around today, I've made a a 6.25x9.25" oversized card featuring items from the Love Ink Collection with a paper quilting technique.

Some steps to help you make one of your own . . .

1. Cut a 5.75x8.75" art panel from the 12x12 Ivory Print. Use a 2" circle punch to punch twelve Ivory circles from the same print. Score 1/4" from the edge of a circle four times to create a square on each circle.

4. Fold on score lines. Alternatively, trim 1-3/8" squares and fold the punched circles around the squares to create four flaps. (Click HERE to see this version of the technique.)

5. Decorate a 1-3/8" square to insert within each punched circle.

6. Attach a row of three folded circles to the top edge of the art panel, then a 1" wide strip for your Valentine greeting, followed by three more rows of folded circles.

7.  Nest the art panel onto a matte and card base. The most important step: give it to someone who is really SA-WEET!

Before I go, one other little thing . . .

I used the Grafitti Mini Chalkboards to add a sentiment to this jar. I'll be using it to give flowers to my youngster, Marilee, on Valentine's Day. For more details on how to use Mini Chalkboards, check out the Club Scrap Blog HERE.

This will be adorable with a little greenery and red roses tucked inside.

Next on the hop is the lovely and talented Julie at Cape Cod Scrapper. Go check out how she is sharin' the love today.
