What is World Card Making Day?

World Card Making Day is the first Saturday of October…which makes it October 8^th this year! It not only kicks off the card making inspired by the holiday season (the most popular time for card making and card sending), but it celebrates the creativity of handmade cards and the unique connection they create between family and friends. Everyone who has an interest in card making is encouraged to participate from: seasoned card makers to beginning card makers to leading industry designers to product manufacturers to the press. World Card Making Day is meant to connect people with similar interests of creativity, paper design and crafts and those who just love to give and receive cards! Connecting to others within the same industry will provide card makers across the world with the resources they need to empower, inspire and encourage as they continue to develop their talents through card making and other creative outlets.
