Silly Safari Thank You Card

Today’s card is quick and easy and uses my Card Sketch #13 along with the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).

While this set is part of a money saving bundle and includes a circle punch I’m only using the stamp set for this card.

Bright and cheerful it’s perfect any time of year and of course who doesn’t love a giraffe? Do you ever stamp onto your Designer Series Papers? Check out the upper panel of Darling Duckling Designer Series Paper that I’ve used for this card. It’s added not only color and texture to the top of this card but also a great backdrop for the foliage I’ve stamped too! Why not give it a try?

Here is my video tutorial for you and a PDF with the supplies, step by step directions, and even the video link so everything is in one place when you are ready to craft.

Put them on a ring or make this little crate I’ve shared with you to keep them on your desk and have them at your finger tips.

Florals in Bloom

Flowers they are a sign that spring is here and they are popping up all over as the weather warms here in North Georgia. Today’s card uses those pretty florals to create a lovely card that will make anyone smile.

Using 3/4″ scraps to create the background for this card it is a great way to use up scraps too. The lovely die cut flower is part of the Pretty Florals Dies (Last Chance 165178) and the fun dots are our 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192). The versatile embossing folder used for this project is the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (Last Chance 161600). It’s great for adding a bit of organic texture on all kinds of projects.

Fun Silly Safari Fun Pocket Card

I love a fun little way to create interest in cards and this little angled pocket card base does just that using the Silly Safari Stamp set (165254).

This cute little card uses a 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) and 1 3/4″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 119850) to highlight the image. It uses this layered focal point that has been raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals to hold the card insert in place. The Boho Vibes Designer Series Paper (165144) not only feels kind of whimsical it adds color and interest too.

The Cloud Cover 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon (165271) adds some texture too.

Who wouldn’t love getting this card? And cutting this angle to create the pocket is super easy – simply score the card base at 5 1/2″ like normal, then place the score line on your trimmer and cut from the score line to outside edge of the card stock. Yep, it’s that easy!
