Have a Wild Birthday

This is a handmade card made with the In the Wild Stampin' Up! product suite and the sentiment says you are fierce.

Today's project is a birthday card featuring the In the Wild Product Suite!

This is a handmade card made with the In the Wild Stampin' Up! product suite and the sentiment says you are fierce.

I paired the In the Wild Bundle with the Hippo & Friends Dies, which are a great staple to have in your stash! I also went with a monochromatic Evening Evergreen theme – taking my cue from the Evening Evergreen leopard print pattern.

For the diagonal piece of Designer Series Paper, I took a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece and made one pencil mark 1-1/4″ down from the top left and another pencil mark 1-1/4″ up from the bottom right and cut diagonally from pencil mark to pencil mark. Here's a visual:

This is a template created by the Paper Pixie to go along with the project to assist you in making the In the Wild Birthday Card.

And I dressed up the inside a bit to turn it into a birthday card!
