Happy World Card Making Day

National Card Making Day, which is now known as World Card Making Day, was founded by Paper Crafts magazine to bring card makers together at the beginning the busiest card making season of the year and the first was celebrated on October 7, 2006.

The initial celebration involved the Paper Crafts magazine audience only.  Due to the positive response and the worldwide popularity of card making, it soon became known as “World Card Making Day.”  This year we celebrate its sixth year which is held annually on the first Saturday in October.  What a great way to unite card makers, hobbyists, retailers, and manufacturers.

Treat Holders or Stand Up Cards





Here are two treat holders or cards that are 3 1/2 x 12.  They were made with with scraps of dp. The closure is a magnet and the inside can hold a small package of gummy bunnies or other candy.   I cannot remember where I got the image.  The little ghosts are colored with Copic Markers and the pumpkin is Diamond Glaze. I will put them on my Etsy Shop if any one is interested.
