It’s easy to “make a splash” with the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper! I love the fun patterns and bold colors! Just stamp, then cut out the images and add them to cards, scrapbook pages, party invitations, and more.

I used the die to cut the lobster from the DSP.

Here’s a side view so you can see how it stands for display.

The bottom of the card tucks under the front panel. You pull from the bottom to open the card. You can add a sentiment inside the middle section and/or add a personal message on the bottom section on the back (which would be hidden under the folded “tent” section when closed).

April 25, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Happy Friday! I have a fun fold card for you today! (Actually 3 cards.) I created these Bridge Fold cards using the Serene Love Designer Series Paper (recently retired) and Countryside Corners Dies (LAST CHANCE PRODUCT). You can use any Designer Series Paper and flowers.
Stampin' Up! Serene Love and Countryside Corners Dies Fun Fold Birthday card ideas-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love how this card opens to reveal the DSP on the inside that peeks through on the front of the card.

Supplies/Measurements:

Stamp Sets Shown: With You In Mind, Iconic Imagery (Last Chance Product), Life is Grand (retired), *Country Birdhouse, *Encircled in Nature (*Used on Inside sentiments)
Card Base (Thick Basic White): 4 1⁄4 x 11, scored @ 5 1⁄2 then cut off @ 9 1⁄2 and then cut at 7.
Cardstock (Lost Lagoon/ Night of Navy/ Old Olive): 2 1⁄2 x 4 cut with Countryside Corners Dies (3rd largest die)
DSP (Serene Love): 2 @ 4 x 1 1⁄4 (front pieces), 5 1⁄4 x 4 (inside), 4 x 1⁄2 (inside strip), 1⁄2 x 6 (envelope) fussy cut flower
Basic White: ~ 3 3⁄4 x 2 1⁄4 cut with Countryside Corners Die, 4 x 2 1⁄4 (inside layer)

Directions:

Fold and burnish card base.
Adhere the Designer Series Paper layer on the inside.
Adhere the DSP strips to the front, one to the front fold and the other to the piece that was cut off from the card base that measures 4 1⁄4 x 1 1⁄2.
Stamp sentiment on white Countryside Die piece and adhere to die cut layer. *This will be the bridge piece.
Adhere the left bridge piece to the part of the card that has the flap putting adhesive only of the left side of the bridge piece.
Lay the right card strip piece to the right edge of the card. Put adhesive on the right end of the bridge piece and close the card to adhere to the strip.
Stamp inside sentiment on white layer. Adhere DSP strip and adhere to DSP layer inside card making sure it is hidden by bridge when card is closed. Fussy cut flower and adhere to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere DSP strip to the front of the envelope ~ 1⁄4 from the bottom. Trim to fit.

Here’s a closer look at each of today’s cards.

Today is Send A Card To A Friend Day! Send a Card to a Friend Day is celebrated on February 7th each year. How do you celebrate Send a Card to a Friend Day? You guessed it, by mailing a card to a friend. It’s that simple. Here’s a card I made to send to a friend.

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 more inspiration for you today to celebrate the wonderful friends in your life! I love to send Valentine’s Day and other holiday cards to friends! *Click on the images to view the original post with all the details.

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!
