World Card Making Day

World Card Making Day is October 6th

Want to join in on the fun? Here are a few ideas to help you celebrate World Card Making Day in style!

Check to see if your local scrapbook store (LSS), craft store, or stamp store is hosting special activities for the day. If not, express interest in their doing so or join in the activities of an Official Retailer.

Gather with fellow card makers and host a party using one of these themes:

Holiday card making. Play some Christmas tunes, serve tasty holiday treats (such as cookies, wassail, and candy canes), and put on your favorite Christmas movie to have a holiday card-making extravaganza. There’s nothing so satisfying as knowing all of your holiday cards are made before the hustle and bustle of the season sets in.

Card swap. Choose a card theme or occasion and ask your guests to come with enough cards for everyone in attendance to trade. Be sure to allow plenty of time for those attending to create the cards in advance. If possible, coordinate your refreshments and decorations to match the theme.

Supplies swap. Refresh your collection of card-making supplies by hosting a trade. Invite your guests to bring enough supplies for everyone in attendance. Set at theme for the supplies (punches, stickers, etc.) and coordinate the treats to match the theme. For example, have a ribbon swap and serve ribbon candy, shoestring licorice, and blue-ribbon apple pie. Or swap chipboard accents and serve chips and dip. You may also theme the products you swap. So you can have a birthday themed product swap (where you exchange patterned paper, stickers, rub-ons, etc.) serve cupcakes
