Step 1

Begin with an A-7 white card. Lightly draw three scallops to make the first set of clouds. Fill in the sky above the clouds using alcohol markers.

Step 2

Cut a piece of white cardstock 5" x 5" [12.7 cm x 12.7 cm]. Position this piece on the card, lining up the bottoms. Decide where the next set of clouds will go so that they are under the first set, then draw three scallops. Cut out along the top of the clouds.

Step 3

Decide where you want your slider with the unicorn to go on that same piece, then position the die and send it through your Sizzix® machine to die cut it. Set aside.

Step 4

Stamp the unicorn, sun, rainbow, cloud, hearts and stars on white cardstock using black ink. Then die-cut these images using dies and your Sizzix® machine. Position the dies over the stamped image. The magnetic plate will help keep the dies in place.

Step 5

Fill in all the pieces, except the circle, using alcohol markers.

Step 6

Adhere the sun, rainbow and cloud onto the sky.

Step 7

Glue the unicorn to one side of the slider piece, insert it into the slider slot and glue the circle to the other side of the slider piece.

Step 8

Adhere the front piece with the slider onto the card front adhering around the edges.

Step 9

Stamp the sentiment onto pink cardstock and cut out. Attach to the card front using foam squares. Glue stars and hearts around the sentiment.

Step 10

Add glitter to the unicorn, around the edges, around the stars and hearts. Let dry.
