BIRTHDAY WISHES FROM THE SAFARI

This week I will sharing cute cards made with the fun Silly Safari Stamp Set.  This set can be purchased as part of a bundle that includes a 1-7/8" Circle Punch, but it also works well with other circle punches and dies.

I saw this fun fold on a reel by Connie Stewart so I thought I would give it a try.  It was quick and easy to put together.  The most difficult part was deciding which of the adorable little Sill Safari animals I would use.

I decided on the Zebra who I have named Zebo!  While I love coloring, I was a little behind schedule in making my card for the post and I thought Zebo looked great as stamped -- with no additional coloring needed.  

While we typically think of zebra's as black and white, Zebo is stamped with Secret Sea ink,  and I think he looks very handsome and "in-style" dressed in our new In-Color.

The "fun" with this Fun-Fold starts when you open the strip flap that Zebo is "sitting on".

With the flap lifted, you see the front of the narrow card base. The card front is decorated with Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP) and a little strip of Granny Apple Green cardstock to give a pop of color.  Secret Sea In-Color Flat Pearls are placed in an arc above Zebo's circle.  (Yes, I CASED that idea from Connie Stewart!  Isn't she clever?)

The next step of the Fun Fold is to Open the card base.

Both the front and inside sentiment are from the Silly Safari Stamp Set.  I think this card will make a perfect birthday card for someone that loves a good party, don't you?
