Scrappy Tails – Nutcracker Tunnel Card

| ullycatdesigns

Welcome to Day 10 of my Nutcracker series using a variety of stamps and die sets to make some nutcracker themed cards. My card today uses dies by Scrappy Tails – Nutcracker , Snowflake Pop-Up Tunnel Card and Train Station Pop-Up Tunnel Card die sets.

Watch the process video below to learn how this card was made.

Nutcracker: Referring to the images of the nutcrackers on the packaging for the Nutcracker die set and the video above, cut out all the pieces using your own color scheme. (I cut out the entire body from flesh colored cardstock and then dressed the nutcracker.) The nutcracker is glued into the second layer of the tunnel card at the hat (onto the lattice work of the frame) and at the boots onto the snow piece. (The snow piece is glued to the back side of the frame. )

Tunnel Card: Using a pale blue cardstock, cut three of the tabbed frame pieces and one large solid arched piece from the Snowflake Pop-Up Tunnel Card die set. Cut from white, one frame without tabs, one arch with snowflakes and one snow piece. From white glitter cardstock cut one frame without tabs. Punch out all the decorative pieces from all the white frames and save for decorating the blue embossed frames. Glue the plain white frame onto the solid blue arch piece and then glue the smaller snowflake arch onto the blue arch inside the white frame. Glue the white glitter frame onto one of the embossed blue frames. Decorated the other two blue embossed frames with the snowflakes and swirls from the white frames. For the first and second frames fold the tabs toward the back and then fold the third frame’s tabs toward the front. Add 1/8 to 1/4-inch wide double-sided tape to the sides of the tabs that will be adhered to the side pieces. Cut two side pieces from white using the side piece from the Train Station Pop-Up Tunnel Card die set. (If you don’t have the Train Station set, cut two 1.25×5-inch rectangles.) Assemble the tunnel card as shown in the video.

Sentiments: The back sentiment of “Happy Winter Wishes to you” comes from the Snowflake Pop-Up Tunnel Card die set.

Envelope: The panel card fits into an A7 (5×7-inch) size envelope with the back flap decorations of snow from the Snowflake Pop-Up Tunnel Card die set.
