It seems fitting that we would use the world wide web to celebrate World Card Making Day, and if you haven’t taken a tour of our freshly remodeled site, you’re missing out on some great stuff.
- Click on the About drop down menu, and you’ll find out the origins of the holiday and the philosophy behind it, as well as cool card facts and the benefits of making a handmade card.
- Click on the Celebrate drop down menu, and be inspired by a list of event ideas, see if there is a participating retailer in your area, check out our official sponsors and learn how to participate in our blog tour.
- You’ll definitely want to send in an entry for our fourth annual World Card Making Day Card Contest! Twenty winners will take away $185 worth in prizes from ten of your favorite manufacturers. Check out the official rules here.
- Go to the Create section and get some ideas from cards created by our sponsors and then head over to the Share menu and connect with other card makers from around the globe. There’s a gallery there, too, where you can share projects that you’ve made.
Here's the Paper Crafts team on World Card Making Day, 2008.
So dive right in! Explore all of the fun things that you can do to prepare for the day and then enjoy it once it arrives October 3rd! And don’t forget that the gallery will be there long after October 3rd, so you can always upload more or come back for tons of inspiration no matter the time of year!

P.S. If you’ll be doing something special on your own blog to celebrate World Card Making Day this year, please click HERE to add your blog URL to our offical World Card Making Day blog tour.

It seems like yesterday that World Card Making Day was here! I will be checking out the Go Gals and the site as well.
I’ll organize a group of ladies here in Croatia and do a craft day in my house. I can’t wait. I’m a little confused about the blog hop…do we sign up and make a card for WCMD to post on Oct 3 or just to post the logo on our blog?
Great info. I am totally looking forward to the festivities!
Count me in!
I love World Card Making Day!
It is a wonderful celebration that incorporates what I love about playing with paper and glue!
I am going to be working on my holiday cards this year, want to get them all out early this year!

Great info. I am totally looking forward to the festivities!…
Thank you so much for the WCMD breakdown. It is my first one, and I wasn’t completely sure what was going on!
I have organized a card making day for local charities. For anyone in the Greensboro NC area. Please drop in and give us a hand by making a card or two. ACMoore is letting us use their space. All of the cards made that day will be donated to local charities. Thank you so much. Remember October 3… drop in for a few minutes between…1- 5pm.
