Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, Glimmer Paper, and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Powder Pink Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of sparkly stars on purple background design from Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 3" square from Silver Glimmer Paper
- 2-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Melon Mambo Cardstock
Mount the unicorn image from the Magical Day Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Fresh Fig Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square. Immediately brush water over the entire image with the Aqua Painter making the entire image a light pink. Set it aside to let it dry.
Adhere the piece of Myths & Magic Designer Paper to the front of the Powder Pink card.
Mount the "Hope Your Day Is Magical" sentiment on Block H. Ink up only the words "Hope Your Day Is" using the brush tip of the Melon Mambo Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp in the center of the white rectangle. Clean the stamp, but leave it on the block.
Ink up only the word "Magical" using the brush tip of the Fresh Fig Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp in the center of the Melon Mambo rectangle.
Pick out the curved banner framelit from the Magical Mates Framelits. Place the sentiment stamped on white cardstock on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the curved banner framelit on top so the words are centered in the curved banner and as close to the top as possible. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Place the sentiment stamped on Melon Mambo cardstock on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the curved banner framelit on top so the word is centered in the curved banner. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Trim the bottom points of the white sentiment banner off using Paper Snips.
Adhere the "Magical" banner over the top of the white banner so it is just below the words on the white banner.
Adhere the banners to the card front about 1/8" in from the right side and about 1" up from the bottom of the designer paper.
Pick out the scalloped circle framelit from the Layering Circles Framelits that cuts out a 2-9/16" scalloped circle. Place the glimmer paper square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped circle framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out one of the set of three stars framelits from the Magical Mates Framelits. Place the glimmer paper scalloped circle on a Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the set of three stars framelit on top so it is near one edge of the circle. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces. Keep all the pieces!
Use Mini Glue Dots (squish them up slightly with your fingers) to adhere the three tiny star cut outs in a rough triangle in the upper right corner of the card front.
Put pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the scalloped circle. Remove the protective backings and adhere the scalloped circle to the card front so it overlaps the left side of the sentiment banners and the star cut outs are in the upper left.
Pick out the unicorn framelit from the Magical Mates Framelits. Place the stamped unicorn image on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the unicorn framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the Melon Mambo Marker to color in some of the strands of the unicorn's mane and tail and the horn. Also highlight the unicorn's spots and eyelid and draw in hoofs on the feet if desired.
Use small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the unicorn cut out to adhere it to the front of the card on the scalloped circle.
Cut a 4" piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon. Tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends. Using a Mini Glue Dot, adhere the ribbon knot to the card front where the scalloped circle and banners meet.
