Wild & Whimsical: A Silly Safari Card with Giraffe Charm

Today’s card is bringing all the fun vibes with a bold giraffe, bright colors, and a cheerful “Hakuna Matata” sentiment. If you love playful projects and popping colors, you’re going to adore this one! I used the Silly Safari stamp set, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites for kid-friendly (or just plain fun!) cardmaking.

For this design, I started with a clean white card base and added bold blocks of color using Timid Tiger, Strawberry Slush, and Coastal Cabana cardstock. Each layer adds texture and energy to the background and gives the vibe of a tropical adventure.

The star of the show is the adorable giraffe from the Silly Safari stamp set! I colored her in using the Darling Duckling Stampin’ Blends, giving her that sunshine-yellow look that really pops against the colorful background. She’s fussy cut and popped up with dimensionals to give the card some extra life.

The sentiment “Hakuna Matata” is heat embossed in white on a black strip for a bold contrast and a nod to everyone’s favorite carefree motto. A few coordinating embellishments finish off the card for a touch of extra fun.
