For this tunnel card I used a nice floral heavy weight paper for the card and a coordinating light weight paper for the tunnel. You can see my first tunnel card
here. After folding the tunnel I die cut the label opening and then used an eyelet border punch (SU) on the flaps. I created an inner greeting layer the width of the space inside the card between the two flaps using a tag from Calico Collage with a font greeting and laser printed it. Trimmed it to size, folded it in half and adhered it on the fold inside my card. Next, I adhered my tunnel to the inside. I used the label die cut from the tunnel on the front of my card. I embossed it wih a distress embossing folder and sponged the edges with green. I added two lengths of lace adhering the ends to the back with double sided tape. I layered four hearts ( punchies and die cuts) from my stash for my focal element and added a small red confetti heart. I mounted it to my card front using 3D foam tape. Thinking it still needed a "bit of something" I added two lengths of red seambinding (MS) to the corners. That really was much better. I tucked the one end inside under the tunnel edge and the other is simply adhered to the back with double sided tape. FUN! Therese
