How to Create a Fun Ocean-Themed Card with the Stampin’ Up! Ocean Friends Bundle

What if your next handmade card could transport someone straight to the ocean? Let’s talk about the Ocean Friends bundle from Stampin’ Up! If you’re a fan of coastal vibes, sea creatures, and a little bit of under-the-sea magic, you’re going to LOVE this set. It’s packed with adorable stamps and coordinating dies that make creating ocean-themed cards a breeze. Whether you’re crafting for a beach-loving friend or just want to play with fun textures and colors, this bundle is a must-have.

For this card, I started with a Thick Basic White card base—because let’s be real, a sturdy base is always a good idea! The ocean floor comes to life with a layer of embossed cardstock, inked up in Peach Pie to give it that realistic sandy look. Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green cardstock were used to cut out the seaweed, adding those fresh ocean hues. And that gorgeous lobster? He’s stamped in Gorgeous Grape—because who says lobsters have to be red? I love how the non-traditional color makes him pop!

A few extra details bring this whole underwater scene to life—tiny stamped bubbles, a sprinkle of iridescent gems, and a couple of die-cut starfish in Peach Pie. And let’s not forget the sentiment—hello, friend—stamped in that deep, rich Gorgeous Grape ink to tie it all together.

Now, here’s the fun part. Imagine all the possibilities with this bundle! Swap the lobster for a crab, play with different color palettes, or even turn this into a shaker card. The Ocean Friends bundle makes it so easy to get creative.

The bundle is from the Friends of the Ocean Suite which not only includes the bundle, but also the Soft Waves embossing folder and the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots.
