World Card Making Day Event

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day. Founded by Paper Crafts magazine to bring card makers together at the beginning of the busiest card-making season of the year, it was first held on October 7, 2006. The initial celebration involved the Paper Crafts magazine audience only; however, due to the positive response it received and the worldwide popularity of card making, the holiday became known as World Card Making Day from then on.

Now in its fourth year, World Card Making Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. It's a day for the card-making community everywhere to unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.

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

Join me in my Stamping Studio for this free event on Saturday, October 3rd from 10-12. It's come and go with juice, tea, and baked goods provided. You will make a custom designed card, browse samples in the Studio, meet some new friends and probably run into some old ones! Celebrate World Card Making Day by making your own card and then giving/sending it. No hoarding these cards allowed! Please rsvp by Thursday, Oct. 1st at 210-492-3218 or crattray@sbcglobal.net so I can prepare for you.
