Happy World Card Making Day my creative peeps!! What a perfect day it is for WCMD here. It’s raining and a bit of an overcast. So I grab a cup of tea and see a day of crafting happening here. I first have a craft hour with my dear friend Ashley and then back to working on some of the cards you see above.
What? You don’t know what WCMD is? This is a great definition I grabbed off the internet to help if you don’t know.
WHAT
World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to:
- Celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family
- Kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season
WHEN
The first Saturday of each October, kicking off the holiday card-making season, the most popular time for creating and sharing handmade greetings.
WHO
The card-making community worldwide, including hobbyists, beginning card makers, manufacturers of card-making products, retail sellers of products, educators, and press are invited to come together to celebrate this holiday and creative passion.
WHY
It is a day to connect with fellow card makers both near and far, to applaud the creativity that powers the craft, and to provide an opportunity for card makers to connect and find resources that will empower, inspire, and encourage them in their card making.
So in honor of WCMD, I thought I would share some of my favorite cards I have made this past year:
You can pop around the web and find lots of places celebrating today.Happy card making!
