Celebrating Pride: Trio of Joyful Cards for Special Occasions | Honey Bee Stamps

Just imagine if the rings of a tree were actually rainbow-colored, how beautiful and colorful this world would be! Then again, trees would be even more endangered than they already are because we would all be chopping them down😆

Inclusive celebrations are always worth cherishing, and what better way to express your love and support than through heartfelt cards? Today I bring you a delightful trio of pride-inspired cards to commemorate a birthday, anniversary, and the arrival of a precious little one. These cards not only celebrate milestones but also promote a message of inclusivity, love, and acceptance.

CARD RECIPE

I will explain how I made one of these cards as the rest were done similarly. 

Using the Lovely Layers Slice and Stump Die, cut out your tree rounds. For a touch of pride, color the tree rings with vibrant rainbow hues using KARIN BRUSHMARKER PRO markers. To make the rings pop even more I used a distress brayer and rolled black ink over each die and then carefully placed the painted stumps back into their mold to press the black line impressions back into the stumps. This adds depth and dimension to them. I then glued them to a black bark layer. The leaves I used come from the  Lovely Layers: Dogwood Dies adding a cheerful element to the card. 

To complete this card I added a sentiment from the Inside Snarky Birthday Sentiment Stamp set stamped and heat embossed in white, then die cut with the coordinating die. This whimsical heart comes from the Heart Hug Die set, topped with a sparkly gem from the Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers. The background for each of these cards, (although it is difficult to see from these pictures) is full of texture that comes from using the Woodgrain 3D embossing folder.

For the Anniversary card of the Trio, I used two of the stumps and made them look like a little couple. This time my sentiment for the card came from the Mini Messages Stamps and Dies.

For comparison, I initially tried outlining the rings with a fine-tip black pen which was a bit time-consuming but the results are definitely darker. But using the brayer was super easy especially when making multiples.

This final card is for a family, welcoming their little one. Here again, the sentiment comes from the Mini Messages Stamps and Dies.

Even though these are just colorful stumps, I think turned out to be so sweet.

Whether you are here because you love rainbows or pride, I hope this trio of cards inspired you today. 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
