Today I’m sharing a Tunnel Card with you all. The stamp set I’ve used is Big Bold Birthday which is 20% off during October with the purchase of $20 worth of regular catalogue merchandise. This set is only 1 of 5 pre-selected sets on special during October for Stampin’ Up!’s 20th Birthday Promotion. You can view the full promotion here.
This card was made for my 2nd eldest daughter who turned 10 on Saturday. Her favourite colour is Blue so that’s what I worked with.
I’ve used my Nestabilities for layering the cupcake as I felt it needed a little something. Unfortunately I’d worked from the inside of the card out so couldn’t use the matching jumbo wheel or even a background stamp to add a little bit of something to the base card as the card wasn’t flat enough to risk attempting a good stamped image. I’ve used the word window punch for the words and then layered that onto a small oval punch piece.
Now for the inside of the card. I used Prints Designer Series Paper here and my Coluzzle Cutting System for the oval cut outs. I’ve had my Coluzzle for years but don’t often think to use it but making this style of card it came in very handy. Not sure what I could have used in it’s place.
My daughter was happy with it but unfortunately it didn’t compare to the Blue iPod that was her present. We decided to spoil her as she recently participated in the University Computer Test that you can do at Primary School and she received a High Distinction which placed her in the top 1% of NSW and ACT entrants. On a whole she does really well at school and if you can’t spoil your own children from time to time, who can…..
