Silly Safari Birthday Wishes for the April SU! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

Welcome back to the monthly Stampin’ UP! Demonstrators Fun Fold Blog Hop. If you love fun folds, you’ve come to a hop filled with really great projects by some very talented fellow demonstrators. When you finish here, I hope you will hop along with the rest of the demos using the links below.

Here’s my Silly Safari birthday card:

I found this card on Pinterest and just thought it was so stinking cute that I needed to CASe (Copy And Share everything) it.

Annemarie Wetzel posted the card and included a link to her YouTube channel, which you can find here. I’ve included her measurements below, but I didn’t make a template. I do want to make this card again, but will definitely have to go back and follow along with the video while making more of these cards.

It’s just a given that fun fold cards also post to the Creative Creases Challenge. Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper coordinates the challenge along with this Demos’ Blog Hop, and it’s one of my favorite challenges. Hopefully, you will be inspired to upload your own fun fold project to the challenge!

Since this card contains these sweet safari animals, I will be adding it to the Crazy Critters Challenge.

Measurements from Annemarie Wetzel:

The first piece of cardstock for the base measures 5-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches, scored at 1/2, 2-5/8, 6-7/8 and 9 inches
The second piece of cardstock for the base measures 10-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8, 4-1/4, 6-3/8, and 8-1/2 inches
- `You will need to follow along with the video to finish the scoring and snipping for these pieces
You will need two of each of the following pieces of DSP (designer series paper): 1-7/8 by 5-1/4 inches, 1-7/8 by 3-1/4 inches, and 1-7/8 by 2-1/2 inches
For the front of the card, you will be need two pieces of cardstock the same color as the base measuring 3 by 2-1/2 inches
The will need two of each of the following pieces of white cardstock: 2-3/4 by 2-1/2 and 1-7/8 by 2-1/2 inches
If you want to add white cardstock to the back of the card for your handwritten note, you will need a piece measuring 4 by 5-1/4 inches
As always, you will need a piece of DSP measuring 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal

For assembly, please go back and watch the video. Once you get the base pieces together, you can add the DSP to the different parts

Coloring the Silly Safari animals was so much fun! I used the blends combos for Basic Gray, a touch of Flirty Flamingo for the monkey tongues, and the light Basic Black blend. The sentiments were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, and the I stamped the leaves in Old Olive.
