Pride Parade Blog Hop

Hello Everyone! Welcome and Happy Pride!

In recent years Pride has come to mean a lot to me. Having queer and trans folk in my family and close friends circle, I've come to realize incredibly important things, such as inclusion and normalization, can't be taken for granted. It's great to be celebrating Pride with a blog this year. 

I created this card for a gay friend of mine, who just happens to own a local pet supply store. How purrfect, am I right?

Start with a slimline Basic Black Cardstock base of 7" x 8 1/2" and a Basic White Cardstock  layer measuring 3 1/4" x 8 1/4". 

With your Cat punch and Rainbow Glimmer Paper, create 5 cats. Using your Cut & Emboss Machine, cut out the letters from scraps of black, with the Playful Alphabet Dies. Tip: For quick assembly, I used the Adhesive Sheets on the back. (Peel and stick.) Set these aside.

Stamp the "Happy" from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set. Mask the "Birthday" off with painters tape or a Post-It note. I fussy cut it out but you can stamp directly onto the white cardstock. If you go that route, make sure to leave enough space for all the letters.

Attach the letters to the top right. I line them up and then alternate between left and right to ensure they're lined up. Glue down your cats.

Wrap the black & white baker's twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack around the left hand side of the white piece piece. I wrapped it twice and then made a bow. Attach this to your Basic Black base and you're done.
