how to fill letters with a pattern??

hello,

 

I want to make some letters and fill them with a background pattern like rainbow.

 

all the fonts are solid black so I need to know how to hollow them out so the background fill will show, then have to cut out all the letters to get the background around them removed so I have only the letters filled with rainbow that can then be moved around and overlaid like with the gray checkerboard squares thing happening.

Like this: imagine a rainbow backing picture with " I heart Mom" text overlaid, fill the " I heart Mom" with rainbow then get rid of the rest of the rainbow backing that is OUTSIDE the letters.  The word heart will be replaced with a heart shape.

I do not know the technical terms for these procedures so have not been able to look this up in help.

 

know of a good tutorial for this?  Gracias y thanks!
