Pride 2026 Week 4 Card | Fierce Collection | Traci Reed Designs | LGBT+ Card

-

 


Hello everyone, and welcome to my 4th weekly card celebrating Pride Month 2026. Today I used the Falling Hearts Embossing Folder from Stampin Up (retired) and one of the digital journal cards from the Fierce Collection from Traci Reed Designs.

To make this card:

  • I cut a 5.25" x 5.25" piece of watercolor paper and embossed it with the Falling Hearts Embossing Folder (#142761) from Stampin' Up.  It is retired, but you might be able to find one online.  
  • Next, using blending brushes and Ranger Distress Inks, I added the colors of the rainbow - Festive Berries (Red), Ripe Persimmon (Orange), Squeezed Lemonade (Yellow), Mowed Lawn (Green), Salty Ocean (Blue), and Chipped Sapphire (Purple).  
  • I made a 5.5" x 5.5" card base using purple cardstock.  Then I adhered a piece of fun foam to the back of the rainbow watercolor paper and adhered it to the card front.
  • I printed one of the journal cards from the Fierce Collection by Traci Reed Designs, and die-cut it using a stitched square die.  Then I die-cut a piece of the purple cardstock using the next die size up.
  • I adhered a piece of fun foam behind the purple cardstock, then to the card front.    
  • To finish off the card, I cut a piece of white cardstock and adhered it to the inside. 

I'm going to be sharing these cards on the A Perfect Time to Craft June Card Challenge and the Crafts Galore Encore Card Challenge Blog, which are both "Anything Goes" themes each month.   


Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I'd love it if you could leave a quick comment and let me know what you think of this card idea.  Links to my socials are below. I'd love it if you followed me there too.  


Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...
