Celebrate Uniqueness! Clean and Simple Pride Card Featuring Peace Love PRIDE Stamp Set

Hi friends! Today, I’m excited to share a card that's all about celebrating what makes each of us unique. I created a clean and simple Pride-themed card using the Peace Love PRIDE Stamp Set from Stamp Anything, and it’s one of those designs that feels extra special to make.

Sometimes when I'm sitting at my craft table, I think about the people in my life who have embraced their true selves against all odds. Cards like this remind me that a little bit of color and creativity can go a long way in spreading love and positivity. I wanted today's design to be bright, bold, and meaningful without being overly complicated—and I think it came together beautifully.

If you’ve ever wanted to create a card that feels both clean and colorful without getting too busy, this is a great idea to try!

Celebrate Uniqueness! Clean and Simple Pride Card Featuring Peace Love PRIDE Stamp Set

Supplies I Used

Here’s a look at the main supplies that brought this card to life:

• Peace Love PRIDE Stamp Set from Stamp Anything

• Stitched Rainbow Slimline Die Set from Pixi Dust Designs

• Hammermill Smooth Cardstock

• Neenah Ultra Thick Cardstock

• OLO Markers (specific colors listed below)

• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

• Versafine Onyx Black Ink

• Mini Recoil Snips

• Mini MISTI

• Color Wheel Polyclay Pieces (from Buttons Galore)

• White Gel Pen

• Foam Tape and Liquid Glue

When you’re working with a design that’s clean and simple, high-quality cardstock and a sharp ink make a huge difference. I always reach for Hammermill or Neenah when I want crisp stamping and smooth coloring.

About the Card Design

For today’s card, I started by stamping the sweet girl holding a Pride flag onto Hammermill Smooth Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored her with my OLO Markers, keeping the flag in the traditional rainbow colors. She has such a cheerful energy, and I really wanted that to be the star of the card.

Once she was colored, I fussy cut her using my Mini Recoil Snips. A quick tip here: When you're fussy cutting, move the paper—not the scissors. It gives you much smoother curves and reduces hand strain if you’re cutting out a detailed image.

I set her aside to work on the background. I wanted the card to have an open, light feeling, so I used the stitched rainbow die from the Stitched Rainbow Slimline Die Set. I placed it on a panel of Neenah Ultra Thick Cardstock cut to 4" x 5 1/4", angling it from the top right down toward the left middle.

The stitched rainbow detail adds just enough interest without making the card feel heavy or cluttered—a little texture can go a long way in clean and simple designs.

After die-cutting the panel, I made sure to keep each stitched rainbow arch in size order. Trust me, saving a few minutes to organize them makes the assembly so much easier later.

At the bottom right of the panel, I stamped the sentiment "I am the Rainbow Sheep of the Family" using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. This phrase brings such a big smile to my face because it captures the spirit of celebrating what sets us apart.

Coloring Choices

For the stitched rainbow arches and the letters in the word "Sheep" of the sentiment, I used my OLO Markers to bring in the traditional Pride rainbow colors:

• Red: R0.5, R0.6

• Orange: OR2.4, OR2.5

• Yellow: Y2.2, Y2.3

• Green: G1.4, G1.5

• Blue: B0.5, B0.6

• Blue Violet: BV4.4, BV4.5

• Violet: V0.3, V0.4

After coloring, I popped the bottom panel back into my Mini MISTI and restamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black Ink to get that nice, crisp bold look. It's one of my favorite tricks when working with detailed or colored sentiments—going back in for a second, darker impression can really make everything pop.

Assembly and Finishing Touches

The background panel was assembled in layers: I added foam tape behind the top die-cut section for dimension and attached it to a top-folding A2 card base made from Neenah Ultra Thick Cardstock. Then I carefully glued each colored stitched rainbow strip back into place.

Next, I added foam tape behind the bottom panel with the sentiment and attached it to the card front, making sure everything lined up nicely with the rainbow arches.

Finally, it was time to bring in the centerpiece—the girl with the Pride flag. I added foam tape behind the part of her that sat over the opening and liquid glue for the part that rested on the card front, making sure she stayed secure.

For finishing touches, I added white gel pen highlights to the girl's hair and flag. I also scattered some Color Wheel Polyclay Pieces around the sentiment for a little extra fun and texture without overwhelming the design.

A little bit of dimensional embellishment like clay pieces can add so much charm to a clean and simple card while still keeping it feeling intentional.

Reflections and Takeaways

One of the things I love most about this card is how it combines clean and simple techniques with such a meaningful message. It’s bright, happy, and feels completely true to the spirit of Pride.

When you're creating cards with a powerful message, sometimes less really is more. A thoughtfully chosen focal image, a meaningful sentiment, and a pop of color can make a card that speaks volumes.

I hope today’s card inspires you to celebrate the unique and colorful people in your life—or maybe even create a few cards to spread a little extra love and encouragement.

After all, the world needs all the color we can give it.
