Swap Fest 8

Here is the tunnel card my partner sent me for our swap.

As you can see, there is an old Chevy parked beneath the trees.  Isn't it cool!!!

Tunnel Vision

My latest "Card Crafts" swap is a "tunnel card".  There are a couple styles for tunnel cards and I chose to do one that I found on Chia's Rubber Stamp and Asylum of Creative Expression (An interesting name don't you think?).

Since my partner is in Ohio I decided to do a card with a Southwest flavor.  I found a desert sunset picture and printed it out four times.  Each of the pictures has to be cut once, each at a natural division.

 

I used the template pattern provided on the Chia site but I made some adjustments to it.  I wanted it to have one more fold on each side and I changed some measurements to fit a 12 inch paper.  For my template click here!

Above you can see the template after being folded and the window being cut out.  Use a bone folder to make each fold crisp.

 

I started on the left side with the largest (whole) picture and attached it inside the last fold with double sided tape. 

 

I added the second piece to the next fold.

  

And the third... 

And last but not least the fourth!

Repeat this procedure on the other side.  I added a piece of matching lavender cardstock to the back (cut to the size of the finished card).  This is a top view of the folds and photos.

 

This view shows the "step" effect.

Here are some tutorials for you...
