Halloween Tunnel Card
with Cricut file


     I've been playing with Halloween the last few days.   I wanted a tunnel card but every one that I made from the premade templates I found, bowed in the middle and was hard to mail.
   So, I played around with sizing the back and middle until I found a set of panel sizes that wouldn't bow.
Here's the Cricut file, if you don't have a Cricut cutter, you can still use the grid on the file for the measurements.  You don't need a machine to download Design Space and play with it. It's free.

I've also uploaded a how-to on my YouTube channel.  It's a little longer than I'd like but it includes how to put the haunted house together so that can easily be skipped.

Questions? Let me know.
  
By the way the card is 5x7.  The front panel is 5x7
The back panel is 4.90 x 7  (cut off 1/8 inch)
The middle panels are 4.75 x 7 (cut off 1/4 inch)
Then the back panel is snug in the side accordion, the two middle panels are 1/8 in and you make sure they lay flat before gluing.

Never Ending Card...

What a blast! The Never Ending Card is Fun...I made a Utube how-to that has both instructions for the Cricut and for someone who needs to hand cut the pieces...

Here is the link to utube..https://youtu.be/4vk8jisYbJ4
Here is the link to my Cricut Facebook group where the link to the free Design Space card and panels are...https://design.cricut.com/#/design/135281085/projects/user-project/135281085?category=My%20Projects

It’s a lot easier than it looks...the base is just 4 panels 5 x 2.5, the time spent is in
decorating it.  I’ll put the card template info in my card section...

Been making Halloween pop up cards. Decided to create cricut templates for them. Here are two, a few more coming later.
