Jungle Fun with Silly Safari, Peaceful Days & Happy Hibiscus
On Sunday evening 10th august 2025, I went live on YouTube for a bit of spontaneous crafty playtime, and what fun it turned out to be! My plan (if you could call it that!) was to mix three unlikely stamp sets—Silly Safari, Peaceful Days, and Happy Hibiscus—into one project. With no firm idea in mind, I set out with three stamp sets, three colours, and a sheet of white card.
It didn’t take long before the jungle started to come alive! I used masking techniques to tuck cheeky monkeys, zebras, and rhinos in behind bright hibiscus flowers and layered leaves. Suddenly, what started as “no ideas” became a one sheet wonder packed with colour, character, and texture.
💡 Top Tip: Sometimes the best projects come when you just start stamping and let the inspiration develop as you go. Don’t be afraid to play—you can always chop up your sheet later and see what works!
After plenty of stamping, layering, and even a bit of spattering, I chopped my jungle sheet into three children’s birthday cards. They’re bright, cheerful, and just a little bit silly—perfect for little ones. I also loved hearing from you all in the chat, especially when you encouraged me to bring the animals peeking through the flowers.
Here are a few highlights from the live:
-
A great bundle bargain tip (Happy Hibiscus is on last chance is cheaper bought separately!)
-
A masking demo with post-it notes to layer animals and flowers
-
Playing with colour combos like Strawberry Slush and Granny Apple Green
-
Adding fun textures and “jungle” splatters for extra depth
-
The final three-card reveal, full of bright colours and smiles
