It's time for another "One Word Wednesday" project!
This card features a giant "Hello" die cut, a simple washi tape background panel and a pop up surprise on the inside! I decided to pull out my giant box of washi tape (that rarely gets used : ) and came up with a quick 'n easy card front design...so here we go!
I picked a handful of washi tape rolls in rainbow of colors and quickly adhered strips right next to each other on an A2-sized panel. After all the tape was down, I lightly burnished the everything with my Teflon bone folder to ensure the washi was adhering evenly. The panel was die cut with a plain rectangle die measuring 3.75"x5" - this gave the tape a really nice rounded, finished edge!
Then it was rainbow pop-up time! I cut all of the MFT Stamps Die-namics, adhered a piece of stamped (using CAS-sual Fridays' "Shenanigans" Stamp Set from 2017) blue card stock to the interior and created two mini boxes that would hold the image layers - see below:
Using the same blue card stock, the first box measured 4 7/8"x1 3/4"x1/2", held the cloud bank and fit directly into the card crease. The second box measured 2 1/2"x2 1/2"x3/4", rested on the lower box and supported the rainbow above the clouds. I trimmed a few of the rays from the sun die cut and glued it into place. Cloud die cuts and small sparkling sequins were added to the background panel. An IMPORTANT NOTE: you have to leave a small gap between the lower die cut and the card base in order for the card to fold correctly - if there is no gap, the pop-up will bind and not close! Trust me on this - I learned the hard way! ; )
Finishing the card front was easy-peasy compared to the pop-up! I die cut an A2 panel with a stitched rectangle die and glued it to the front; the washi panel was then adhered with strong two-sided tape. The large hello die cut was popped off the card front with foam tape and a few clear sparkling sequins were added to finish things up! Whew!
If you didn't include the pop-up, this card would be so simple to mass produce and you could use tons of different color palettes and word dies on the front for all kinds of occasions! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!
