Unicorns and rainbows

I know it hasn't been very long since I posted my last card set, but I've been giving a lot of them as gifts, so I need more. But today's card set is a little different (at least for me), and it makes me so happy. I hope you think so, too!

Gah! Aren't they too cute? To make the unicorns I used the Whittle Happy Unicorn die (Poppy Stamps) with shimmery white card stock for their bodies, colored card stock for manes and tails, and silver foil card stock for their horns. The card bases are Pool Party card stock with iridescent shimmer splatter and a scalloped rainbow frame (die cut with Frame in Frame 2 cutting plate, Taylored Expressions).


But definitely one of the best parts of this card set is the sentiments, which are from the Pure Magic stamp set (Essentials by Ellen). I completely adore these sentiments, and I don't have nearly enough opportunities to use them. I made this set for a teacher I worked with last year and during summer school. She has a fun personality, works with kids, and well, she just seems like the kind of person who would appreciate unicorns, rainbows, and a little humor.

I finished these cards with some sparkling clear sequins for a little extra bling. All-in-all this was a pretty easy card set to create; the most time-consuming part was die cutting and gluing all the unicorn pieces. But I think I might just have to make a few more to use myself ...

Thanks for stopping by!
