Happy Friday! My youngest grandcherub is obsessed with these magical creatures. I'm sure she is just waiting for the day one appears on her doorstep to take her on an adventure! Sometimes I think we adults need to get back some of the “magic” from our childhoods. Like, laying in the front yard, looking up at the clouds and finding all sorts of creatures romping around in the sky…maybe even unicorns!
Have you seen the whimsical images in the Magical Day Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!?
Aren't these fun?? My share today uses the unicorn and I can't wait to stamp some of these with my little grand!
The Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper adds a bit of “pop” and I think sets off the unicorn perfectly! The Whisper White square, cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies adds another little bit of detail on this whimsical card.
In addition to the stamp set and glimmer paper, this suite of products also has Washi Tape, Designer Series Paper, and Framelits (the framelits can be purchased as part of a bundle, in wood or clear mount, for a 10% savings!).
