Try these safari cards:
1. Box card
Create a happy home for your safari animals in this pop-up box with cut-out leaves, grass and trees.
- Using the box card template, cut the box design out of kraft card. Matt and layer the flaps with green card and leaf print printables.
- Cut two 2.5 x 11cm strips of green card. Score a 1cm-wide tab on either side of both. Put double-sided tape along the tabs. Attach inside your box, at 2cm intervals from the front, and approx. 1.5cm down from the top.
- Cut some grass for the front of your box card. Snip randomly into a strip of green paper, or die cut strips of grass using the Funky Floral die set. Attach using PVA glue inside the front and back of the box, so that tufts are poking out.
- Fussy cut a lion, crown, large tree, medium tree and monkey. Pierce a hole through the monkey’s paw, and attach to the large tree using a brad.
- Position the elements inside the box card as desired. Finish by backing the ‘Go Wild’ sentiment onto a die-cut circle and attach using acetate.
2. Hear me roar!
Tuck foliage behind a stitched aperture and hide a tiger among the grass for an on-safari feel! Hide loose ends by adding a frame over the top of the aperture.
3. Circle of life
Cut circles in the design for your safari animals to pop through and say hello! Tuck leaves and foliage behind the circles for added jungle vibes.
