Art Journaling/Paper Play: Tunnel Visions

Who says tunnel vision isn’t good? Come hone your tunnel vision skills with Stephanie. You’ll leave with two fun cards, both easy, and a kit with directions and templates so you can make more cards on our own. Who knows what will be revealed by the light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps more tunnel cards ahead? Perhaps a deeper look into a journal theme.

Here’s what to bring. Don’t worry if there’s something you don’t have. We’re a group that likes to share. And don’t worry if the list below is confusing. Clarity awaits. In any case, don’t fret about supplies.

Paper trimmer
Paper scorer
Bone folder
Scissors
Ruler
Circle cutter or die cut machine
Some coordinating cardstock
Some coordinating papers. Bring decorative papers, or create your own
Adhesives, including snails and white glue
Raised adhesive dots
Stamps and ink pads, paper, drawing, whatever you’d like as your focal point.

For the first card, your tunnel opening will be a 2 ½ inch circle, so your focal point, viewed through that hole, should fit within that opening.

For your second card, your tunnel opening will be a 3 inch circle, and will encompass a larger field of vision. Think of a design or paper that measures 4x5, and that will be cut in half lengthwise. You will be looking through the opening at this paper. The 4x5 paper can be a design that covers the whole piece, or it can one image that is big enough to be cut in half.

Ephemera
Images that you might want to place around the tunnel opening. Die cuts work well. There
will be a variety to choose from to match your theme.

Don’t be confused! It’s fun, and way easier than it sounds. No
