DIY Party Continues with a Unicorn Theme Using Dies and Stamps
Hi everyone! Since this is the beginning of a new year and we have some new viewers, I thought it would be nice to introduce myself again and welcome you here. So glad you decided to take a look. My name is Debi Adams and I am in house designer with Spellbinders as well as a collection designer.
I love arts and crafts and anything that adds style or pretties to an event, room or occasion. I love giving away my goodies too! Today I am bringing you a few ideas for a Unicorn Party. I think that some of my die and stamp choices might surprise you. You might even own a few already. Let’s take a closer look.
I have three different party favors, the unicorn bag, the wand, and the unicorn sugar in a vial. All are fairly easy to create and definitely add some charm to a party table. The unicorn bag is cut from my Bag N Tag from my “Market Fresh” Collection and stamped with the eyelashes from “Wink, Wink” from the “Love, Set, Match” line. The “ears” are the lips from “Wink, Wink” and die-cut from iridescent cardstock. I used, are you ready for this, the carrot from “Peas and Carrots” from “Market Fresh” for the gold horn. The flowers are Floral Berry Accents. I cut them from green and gold cardstock and embellished them with pearls.
A gold straw was the base for the unicorn wand and I decorated it with Star dies. One is cut from gold cardstock and the other glittered cardstock. I added some ribbon to make it more magical.
What party would be complete without a little bit of sugar? These little vials were filled with a variety of mini-sprinkles and sugar, the perfect magic mix! Ribbon and a glittered, die-cut star embellished the jar.
So which is your favorite? Would you do this theme for a baby shower, birthday or bridal shower? Any way you choose to decorate, I’m sure you will have a lot of fun in the process.

Oh, Debi! This unicorn ensemble has completely captured my heart! I couldn’t stop thinking about seeing it today on IG and I had to come back here for all the magical details, even though it’s after midnight, hehe! Thank you so much for breaking it down and sharing how you assembled these beauties, because ALL of them are my favorite and I don’t think you could really just have 1 with having them all together! They are truly special and so very charming! I intend to try and recreate your beautiful vision here and so I really appreciate all the info! Thanks so much! Hugs! : )
Debi Adams
Linsey, how sweet of you to come here as well! It’s always good to hear that the instructions were helpful and that you liked the projects. Thank you. I cannot wait to see what you make!
Dawn
I absolutely love this. I love dies that have another use.
Debi Adams
Hi Dawn,
I feel the same way. I really like to see what my stash has to offer, recycle it a bit perhaps, and then add one or two others with it to make it fresh. Thank you for your kind comment.

What a cute collection of projects. I was most surprised by the lips, using them as ears was ingenious. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you Olive. So appreciated. :).

I’m so glad that I ran across this website through Facebook. For several months, I had been debating between Cricut and Silhouette die cutting machines. By being a beginning crafter, I wanted to find a cost effective machine so I’ve considered using older models of the aforementioned machines. Looking at your amazing crafts let’s me know that there’s a new machine sheriff in town and I’ll definitely be investing in one and not settling for a used, cost effective machine. And these unicorn favors that I’ve seen are perfect for my daughters upcoming 5th birthday so I have a few months to get everything done. Thanks so much for your amazing inspiration!!!
Debi Adams
So happy to see you found us too Lekeshia! We do have an amazing machine that performs well and looks great! Hope to see your unicorn projects soon! Bet they will be adorable. Thank you.
Sharon Gullikson
This is just adorable! I just love this sort of project—I’m trying to branch out a bit…
Debi Adams
Sharon, this is the perfect project. Easy but colorful and fun!
Karen Hedgelon
I never make what I call projects – only scrapbooks and cards. However, you have tempted me to make the Unicorn bag, wand and dust for a great-grandchild! That will be fun. I’m not even a fan of unicorns!!
Debi Adams
Karen, same here about unicorns but they are so on trend and colorful that I had to make something. I ended up loving them. Hope you make your great-grandchild one too! A project from great-grandma will always be treasured.
Madeline Cole
Wow! Thank you for sharing this guide with us, it is really helpful
