Part diorama, part pop-up card, the tunnel book is a structure that gives depth and dimension to your paper crafts. Artist and crafter extarordinairre Courtney Cerruti demonstrate two versions of the tunnel book, one based in space and the one set under the sea. The Cricut makes challenging cuts simple and assembly is as simple as using a glue stick to attach your panel to accordion-folded edges. Learn techniques for customizing decorative papers to make these books your very own.

Great class. Left me hungry for more. History, examples, how to design for the circuit. Follow-up class?

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started watching the videos for this project because Courtney kept calling what she was making a book. I thought she meant that literally, so I was confused.
In any case, I ended up enjoying the videos and plan to make some "books" for my nephews.
