Sketch Challenge - Safari Smiles

The Safari Smiles Bundle has such sweet images that work great for a baby card. I went with the lion family and the new In Color Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper that will be available starting July 1, 2026 with the new Online Exclusives.

 
 

I made the card for this week’s Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. Here’s the sketch I used. You can see all the projects posted for this week’s challenge by clicking on the sketch below.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Hydrangea Hue Card Base - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4

  • 2026–2028 In Color Gingham Gallery - 2 pieces cut at 2-1/4 x 3-3/4, adhere to the card base.

  • Basic White - Die cut the largest square using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

  • Stamp the lion family on Basic White in Black Ink using the Safari Smiles Stamp Set. Die cut with the coordinating die.

  • Color the lions with Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used Darling Duckling, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake.

  • Adhere the lion family to the diamond and then adhere the diamond to the card with Dimensionals.

  • Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2” strip of Basic White in Hydrangea Hue ink. Banner both ends and adhere to the card using Dimensionals on the right side.

  • Add some Hydrangea Hue Dots.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5-1/4), add a piece of Designer Series Paper cut to 3/4 x 4

 
 

I love how sweet this family is along sitting on the gingham paper.
