Go Wild with This Cheeky Monkey Birthday Card!

Hey there, crafty friend! Today’s card is a playful, jungle-inspired design that’s just right for celebrating someone special. Featuring the adorable monkey from the Silly Safari stamp set, this card is all about fun color, cute critters, and bold patterns that’ll make anyone smile. Let’s swing into the details!

This card starts with a clean white card base and adds strips of colored cardstock in Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, and Timid Tiger for a vibrant, tropical look. I added subtle white-on-white texture using an embossed background to give it a little extra something without overwhelming the design.

The star of the show is our sweet monkey friend from the Silly Safari stamp set! I stamped him on a Crumb Cake circle and colored him in with Bronze Stampin’ Blends to bring out those warm, cuddly tones. The sentiment, “It’s your day! Go wild!” wraps around the image perfectly and sets the mood for a birthday adventure.

I finished it off with some stamped leaves tucked behind the focal point in Coastal Cabana and Timid Tiger, and a couple of enamel dots for the final playful pop.
