Hello and welcome back to the Kre8tors Blog Hop! I’m really excited for this hop because it’s all about techniques! Each of the wonderful demonstrators that are participating with us in this hop have showcased either a stamping, inking, or folding technique of some sort. This is a great opportunity to see some amazing projects and perhaps learn something new! Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of each post and click that Next button to hop along to everyone’s projects!
The technique I’m showcasing sort of sneaks up on you when you open the card. The front of the card looks pretty normal, very clean, not a lot going on. Very simple. Beautiful on it’s own, but then you open it…
And all of that dimension and detail fill the card! This technique is called the “Inside Tunnel Card” and I learned this from watching fellow crafter Jennifer McGuire on YouTube. Her ideas are so creative, I love to CASE them using Stampin’ Up! products. One of the best parts about this card is that it folds FLAT so it can be mailed easily!
I featured First Frost on this card for all the imagery, and the sentiments are both from Tea Together. This card of course is for my wonderful Mother, and she’s going to be receiving it TODAY! So I hope she’s not watching the video or following her Facebook feed today! But in case she is, then I’d like to say, Happy Mother’s Day!

If you don’t already have a demonstrator, I would love to be your Creative Coach! How can I help you?
If your order is over $150, don’t use a hostess code because you qualify for your own Stampin’ Rewards!
If your order is less than $150, use my current hostess code RY3MFYT9 when you place your order to get a thank you card from me at the beginning of next month! Your support means a lot to me and helps me to continue doing what I love, which is making videos for you to enjoy.

Love this card Melissa, I also love Jennifer. Will watch your video later, I actually have the same style card scheduled for Tuesday! Great minds think alike, mine is converted into cm for us UK girls, although as I was at school when we changed over I tend to work in both cm and inches!
How fun! I’ve been so inspired by Jennifer’s projects, and so glad I tried this one! Will keep a look out for your version, very interested to see it! 🙂
What a beautiful card Melissa, the colours are beautiful and you have one lucky mum, she will love it x
Thanks so much, Jo! She did love it! 🙂

Stunning Card Melissa
Stunning Card Melissa. Looking forward to trying this technique x
Oh my, this is really a card with a surprise effect! I know the fold, but you made a very elegant and inviting version of it. Love the colors en the choise of stamps!
WOW, your card is so beautiful. I must give this fold a try.
This is a beautiful design in itself, but the surprise tunnel inside will be so much fun for the card recipient. I’m definitely going to try this out!
I´ve never tried a tunnel card – but now I’m definitely going to try this! Thanks for Inspiration
