Queen & Co. Giraffe Shaker Card

Today, I’m sharing a shaker card that brings a touch of safari fun to your handmade greetings. This card features a whimsical die-cut giraffe filled with shaker elements, perfectly complemented by patterned paper that ties the whole theme together. Using products from the Queen & Company Go Safari kit. I’ve created a card that’s eye-catching and also incredibly fun to make. The cheerful sentiment “What’s Up?” adds the perfect finishing touch, making this card ideal for brightening someone’s day. I also used Foundation die sets – 3, 14, 19 – to create the paper layers and to cut my sentiment.

I cannot say enough about the patterned paper included in the kit! It coordinates wonderfully, making it easy to create the various paper layers. I embellished the card with epoxy from the Epoxy Dots Matte Bundle and stars cut from white cardstock with a die in the Foundation 14 set.
