Simple Beauty in a Tunnel Card
Have you made a tunnel card before? They are really quite simple but very stunning I think. From the front it looks like a regular card… But when you open it up, you’ve showcased/spotlighted the sentiment or image inside in a fabulously unique way! My sample uses our Olivia Papers along with The Present Stamp Set.
