Unicorn party prep (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

It's the first day of Neat and Tangled's May release week (did you miss us in April? i did. insert sad face.) We're making up for it this month with amazing new stuff. Seriously, I love everything we have to offer!

To kick things off, I designed a 3x4 unicorn set. Magical Day was made on the request of my soon-to-be-seven-year-old Maia. She desperately wanted a unicorn birthday party but none of the unicorn sets out there were quite what she was looking for. She asked me to make a unicorn with "hair coming to the front."


I had to get approval from both Danielle (owner of Neat and Tangled) and Maia. ha. I included some delicate sprigs that could be used to frame the unicorn. I love that they could be used to frame any woodland image too, or be built up into a wreath. I will be using those images a ton.

I don't want to give away too much, but here are some things I've already made for Maia's party:

I used our Classic Tag 1 die to make thank you tags. I cut a circle into a top tag layer, and popped it up onto a minty tag layer. Into the opening, I slid the unicorn (I cut around the mane so that it would spill outside the frame) and added sprigs on either side. The simple greeting is from Itty Bitty Welcoming Committee and was stamped in gold ink.

I also made a set of simple cupcake toppers. I bought a set of striped paper plates in a rainbow of pastel colors and I colored the unicorn manes to match. With all of these rainbow colors, I'm not sure what color to dye my frosting. Any suggestions?

Finally, here is a peek at the invitations I sent out. I stamped the unicorn, masked it, and stamped sprigs on each side. I doubled-up on the sprigs to create a fuller wreath.

I hope you like this magical unicorn!  Don't forget to leave a comment to be in the running for a 25$ gift card to the Neat and Tangled store, and check out the NT blog for a chance to win your own Magical Day stamp set.

  2. Wow, what beautiful items for the party - love them all! And I can just picture a carousel of these beautiful unicorns! My opinion on the frosting color: any one of the colors you used for the manes (maybe her favorite color?).

  14. An absolutely adorable set, You made !!! Love it!!!
    I have seen an unicorn-Cupcake-frosting recently that has been made by using 4 shades of light frostig colors, stuck into one big piping bag together and squeezing it onto the Cupcakes with Kind of a star or flower nozzle in swirls. It looked great in the 4 shades like the unicorns colors! Maybe You wanna give it a try. I think I saw it on youtube from "Cupcakes Jemma"...
    Have a great Party !!!
