CSS3 Transition – Fade out effect

You can use transitions instead:

.successfully-saved.hide-opacity{
    opacity: 0;
}

.successfully-saved {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    text-align: center;

    -webkit-transition: opacity 3s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition: opacity 3s ease-in-out;
    -ms-transition: opacity 3s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition: opacity 3s ease-in-out;
     opacity: 1;
}
