Navy is not your traditional color for Valentine’s Day; however, it’s my friends favorite color. What do you think? I used the gorgeous Serene Love Designer Series Paper. This paper was an online exclusive. It’s now on sale for $8.75 (Last Chance Product) and is only available while supplies last. Check it out!

I have really enjoyed this trip down memory lane as I remembered who I created each of these cards for. The card below just made me LOL as I recalled the fun day spent with a friend! *Click on the image below to read the story behind the card.

Why Handmade Cards Make People Feel Extra Special

Meaningful connections with others can lead to a longer life, according to research cited by Stanford Medicine. They can also strengthen your immune system, lower levels of anxiety and depression, and lead to higher self-esteem. But you don’t need a scientific study to know that connecting with people just feels good.

Sending someone a card is a great way to reach out, and sending a handmade card makes the recipient feel extra special. A handmade card signals that you care about the person enough to spend time creating something just for them. It’s an added element that shows you care—especially when it comes with a sincere and personalized message from you written on the inside of the card.

Do you have a favorite card from today’s showcase? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below. How will you celebrate Send a Card to a Friend Day?

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Card Ideas to Celebrate Friendship

February 6, 2025February 6, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 6 Comments

Send a Card to a Friend Day is celebrated on February 7th each year (That’s tomorrow!). It’s an opportunity to brighten a friend’s day during the winter months and spread smiles through the mail.

Send a Card to a Friend Day is a special occasion dedicated to reconnecting with friends through the simple act of sending a heartfelt card. It’s a day to express gratitude, share warm wishes, or simply let friends know they are cherished and remembered.

I have a lot of friend card ideas to share with you today! Here’s a card that was included in my Just Stampin’ Card Kit to Go last month. It’s a fun fold pop up card.
Stampin' Up! So Sincere and Sentimental Park fun fold pop up card idea for a friend-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
You could send this card any time of year or it would be a great Valentine card for a friend. I used the Sale-A-Bration Bundle, Heart Shaped (available this month for FREE with a qualifying order), on the front of this card as well as the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder. The sentiment from Sentimental Park is perfect any time of year!
Here’s a look at some inside sentiments you could stamp.

This card folds to 4 x 4 and fits in a medium envelope.

I used the Hearts of Elegance Bundle to die cut the heart then embossed it with the Starstruck Embossing Folder (another Sale-A-Bration freebie). You can view the complete list of products I used below.

The PDF tutorial to create this fun fold pop up card and more is FREE with a purchase of $50 or more this month! If you would like to purchase the tutorial for $3, email me, then send payment through Venmo (@jstark324) or PayPal (j.stark@goeaston.net). I will accept a check if you prefer.

Here are some of my favorite friend cards I’ve shared previously. You can click on the image to view the original post with all the details.

Send a Card to a Friend Day is a beautiful reminder that friendship is worth celebrating and nurturing. Whether you’re sending a card to an old friend or a new one, the act of sending and receiving cards fosters connections and spreads happiness. I am so thankful for the friends in my life! Do you have a favorite card from today’s showcase? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below. Who are you going to send a card to this week?

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

You can say thanks and congrats with style when you use the Bright Borders Stamp Set. I love the fun borders! The stamps are clear, so it’s easy to line up the images inside the border. You can fussy cut the borders out or punch with the To the Point Label Punch (another new product!) to make your own paper labels.

My favorite new embellishment is the Party Dots.
