Hello, Crafty Friends! I’m wrapping up Pride Week here on the Ellen Hutson Blog and I made three cards featuring different ways to feature a rainbow. The sentiments on these cards sum up the meaning of Pride.

I’ll take any excuse to use the Crafty Hands Dies and I thought that die cutting them from coloured cardstock and embellishing them with the Stitched Borders Dies would be perfect. The colours I used are Concord & 9th’s Poppy, Spiced Cider, Buttercup, Parsley, Oceanside and Eggplant cardstock.

To create the background, I misted Neenah heavyweight cardstock with water before dry embossing it with the Optical Arches Embossing Folder. 

Then I heat foiled the Mini Everyday Sentiment with Matte Silver Hot Foil on black cardstock. To finish, I embellished the card with silver star sequins.

To create the base panel for this card, I used the Diagonal Glimmer Stripes with Mini Rainbow Stripe Hot Foil on Neenah heavyweight cardstock. Then I used two Hearts Dies and foam tape to pop up the die cut section.

I die cut the Yasss Die from both black cardstock and silver foil cardstock, glueing the two layers together and attached it to the card. To finish, I stamped the All-Star Sentiment and added it below the die cut word.

For my third and final card, I created a card base from white linen cardstock and cut a panel featuring the A2 Piercing Plate 2. 

Next, I used both the Way With Words Hot Foil Stamp and Solid Rectangle Glimmer Hot Foil Plate with Mini Rainbow Stripe Hot Foil on Neenah heavyweight cardstock.

I used Alpha Dies to die cut the letters, stacking them three layers high for dimension, and glued them on the panel with the help of a t-ruler. 

To finish, I used two of the Wonky Hearts Dies to create the gold glitter hearts.

Not only are these cards perfect for Pride, they’re great for spreading joy every day. I hope you found inspiration in these designs. Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you again soon!
