Hello there,
I hope you had a lovely weekend. Part of mine was spent crafting some delightful Unicorn Party Invites for hubby’s granddaughter, who will be celebrating her 11th Birthday soon.
Faye like many girls right now, is Unicorn obsessed and her invites had to clearly communicate that.
Aren’t they just magical?
She just about died when she saw them LOL. They were incredibly easy to design, however I am not gonna lie, they were quite labour intensive.
Unicorn Party Invites tutorial :
Starting with white card bases, I first cut a triangle out of some gold glimmer card. This shape is quite easy to cut by eye.

I used a thinlit die (sneak peak alert, this is from a new set soon to be released *wink*) to draw my eyes on a piece of Whisper White card stock but some punched circles of card would work just as well.
I then stamped a cloud of magical stars around the head of the unicorn using the Love Sparkles set, you can get yours HERE .
And lastly I filled the space with punched out flowers. Oh the ears… I forgot to show you what I have used for the ears.
The leaves from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies turned out to be perfect!!! I have said it before and say it again, all of us crafters are guilty of hoarding supplies. However this is WHY we are doing it !!!
We are collecting, so that when we have to create something unique, we have a exactly what we need.
So GO on, collect all the pretties absolutely guilt free. Because I promise you, one day you will work on that special project and you will have exactly what you need ….
What came next was an array of punched out flowers, bedecked with jewels.
Ribbon, tassels, sequins, were all added to finish off, Faye’s fabulous Unicorn Party Invites .
Here’s a view of the inside:
The invitation stamp is a retired one we used to carry a few years back.
I cannot tell you how many times I have used this stamp over the years. One piece of advice I would give, is if you have something on your wish list, BUY IT NOW. Do not wait until it retires.
How Did you Do the Rainbow Letters?
These Rainbow sheets are so easy to create. All you need are some ink bottles and a baby wipe or five.

Fold a baby wipe in half then in half again. Using six different colours of reinkers from our Brights Collection, add a couple of drops of ink along side of the folded edge.
Then simply drag the baby wipe over some white card and watch in awe, how the magical rainbows appear.
Once the ink dried, I cut out Faye’s name using our fabulous Large Letters Dies. I cannot tell you how fab these dies. You can buy them HERE. Also I need to tell you that you have until the end of this month to take advantage of the 10% discount for the STAMPS and Matching DIES bundle.
So what do you think? Magical right? Every little Unicorn mad Princess would be delighted with these, not to mention the lucky recipients that receive one of these.
And now, the pressure is on for the perfect Unicorn Party :), it will be the first event to take place in my Studio and I am not quite sure if the girls or myself are more excited LOL
Thank you for joining me today, see you again soon
Much Love
Monica
