Party Animal Birthday Card Featuring the Silly Safari Stamp Set

Hey friends! If you’re looking for a birthday card that’s playful, bold, and a little bit wild — this one’s for you. I had so much fun making this zebra-themed birthday card using the Silly Safari stamp set. It’s got texture, it’s got sass, and it’s totally ready to party!

Let’s talk layers! I started with a Basic Black card base for some dramatic contrast. On top of that, I added a Coastal Cabana panel—one half smooth and one half embossed with a geometric folder for extra texture and interest.

The spotlight circle draws your eye right to that adorable zebra from the Silly Safari stamp set, stamped in crisp black for maximum pop. Around the base of the circle, I tucked in some stamped leaves: one in Strawberry Slush and two in Timid Tiger. This combo gives off a tropical birthday party vibe I absolutely love!

For the sentiment, I heat embossed “Happy Birthday you party animal” in white on black cardstock, giving it a bold, punchy finish. A little Strawberry Slush twine bow and a few iridescent pearls tie it all together with flair.

When you’re working with bold animal images, try balancing them with textured backgrounds or soft embellishments. It keeps the design playful without getting too chaotic!
