Directions:

If you aren’t using premade cards, go ahead and make those first.
Using your scissors – first trim down your scrap pieces to give the look of a stacked cake. This is done by cutting rectangles out of the scraps and then trimming each one down a bit, as the cake gets taller. Keep in mind, the smallest top piece should be WHITE for the unicorn head.
Out the remaining cardstock, cut out ears and an unicorn horn.
Go ahead and also punch out a few paper flowers as well.
Now grab your adhesive and apply it on the back of each scrap piece.
Place them on the card in their correct formation.
Next up – the unicorn embellishments. Add the triangle horn, the flower “hair” and of course, draw on some eyelashes with the Sharpie markers.
Add other embellishments you see fit.
If desired – add a stamped “birthday” sentiment somewhere on the card.
Repeat process for each unicorn birthday cake card you want to make today!
