Rainbows & Clouds Pop Up Card

Today I'm sharing the last card made with this rainbow paper and it's a pop up. As usual, my card started with the patterned paper which was in a 12x12" package. Going through the remaining sheets, I saw one with a large rainbow across the bottom half. It was too big to use on an A2 card, or a Slimline but I thought it might work on a 5x7" card. I cut the rainbow panel down to 6.75" keeping just the rainbow. So now my sheet was 12 x 6.75" and had a large rainbow across the centre.

I cut that sheet in half at 6", giving me two pieces with a half rainbow on each ... and I trimmed the outside side down so each panel measured 4.75 x 6.75. Since there was a second sheet of this large rainbow print in the package I repeated the cutting above and had four half-rainbow panels ready to add to card fronts! In the photo below you can see how they would have fit together if I hadn't cut the sheet in half. You can see the other three cards HERE, HERE and HERE if you are curious.

The Hello Sunshine piece was fussy cut from a sheet of cut apart in the package and the cloud punch is from Stampin' Up. For the one on the front I used Rainbow Holographic card stock for even more shimmer & shine.

Inside the card I used the Twist Circle Pop Up - one of my new favourite die sets by Karen Burniston. It works in a variety of card sizes and you can animate so many things! Here I have a cluster of punched clouds along with a fussy cut rainbow from the same piece as the sentiment on the front. 

Some of the punched clouds are from the Rainbow Holographic card stock and others were punched from white and inked with blending brushes. The Paper Hugs is a die I've had for about a year and I think this is the first time I've used it - yikes.
