Special Order: Unicorn Birthday Decor

One of our lovely friends asked for a favour.  She requested that I make unicorn themed thank you tags and cupcake flags for her daughter's 4th birthday.  To say the least, I was thrilled to pieces by this!  Having a little boy does not usually leave much room for unicorns and pink glitter foam at The Rasberry Patch, so I dive in head first when an overly girly opportunity comes my way and this is no exception!!

Unicorns here we come!!!

I knew that I wanted to do something special and I had decided a long time ago that banners were well worth it for party decor.  You just can't go wrong with a sweet banner, now can you?

It was not specifically requested, but I just had to make a beautiful banner for this sweetheart of a lady that I happily call my friend.

Pink glitter foam was the perfect fit for this purple and pink themed party.  The unicorns have been stamped and fussy cut using a set from Flonz (one of my favourite stamp companies, as I'm sure you've noticed by now) and the lettering has been cut using a retired bigz die from Stampin' Up! (another of my favourite stamp companies), called Typeset Alphabet.

If you have ever thought of investing in any dies, I would highly recommend a solid lettering or alphabet set.  You just cannot get more versatile than a good set of alpha dies.  They surely are the bee's knees of the die cutting world.

... and back to the pink and purple unicorns ...

These cupcake flags were super fun to design.  I tell you though, these babies look like they would be super quick and easy to put together, but in reality, it seems like the smaller the project, the longer and more tedious the task.  This was definitely the case with these adorable flags.  Each unicorn has been hand stamped, punched, coloured, and glued together.  The letters have been die cut and the rosettes have been handcrafted.  A major labour of love and I'm super happy with how these wee little puppies ... *cough* ... unicorns, turned out.

These unicorn thank you tags were super relaxing to create.  Each one has been hand stamped and Copic coloured.  A glue dot is perfect for attaching them to the mason jars that will be holding a very rare substance: unicorn poop!!!

1 personalized birthday banner, 20 thank you tags, and 30 cupcake flags!
Can't wait to see these in action next month.

Happy early Birthday Avery!!  May all of your glittery wishes come true!!

Thanks again everyone and have a special night!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rasberry & the Fur Berries

Cheers to You, Happy 60th Birthday Card

Image
This was a fun card to create for a friend of mine.  She had asked for something along the theme of wine or travel.  I chose wine, since I knew that I had the perfect stamp set: Stampin' Up!'s Happy Hour! While digging through my patterned paper, I came across this fun background print.  The paper is from an old scrapbook calendar that I had been given by another good friend of mine.  She had no use for an outdated calendar, but thought that the papers inside were right up my alley.  Boy, was she right?!  I just love the simplicity of this print as well as the imperfect, hand drawn affect of the striped lines.  It seems, to me, to make this card more personal. Card Front Images from Stampin' Up! & Accord Publishing's 2012 Scrapbook Calendar  Since the recipient of this card is a wine connoisseur, I chose to create a wine glass tag to use as an embellishment on the card front.  This means that the card (or parts of it) play double duty.  The wine glas
