Hello and happy World Card Making Day! Even if you don’t use today as an official kick-off to your holiday card sweatshop creation process (I do it to myself every. single. year.), I hope you’re finding some inspiration in all the other reasons we have to pass on the personal connection of a handmade card. Since I’m a happy little holiday elf who hums Christmas tunes all year long, this isn’t even my first official Christmas card for this year. But I used all non-holiday product and mostly scraps on this one, too, which is always a great way to stretch creativity.
Now for another mystery box giveaway! Comment below telling me the last reason you sent a card, and I’ll pick one winner to take home a mystery box! Comments must be received by Monday, October 8th at 5 pm MDT.
Enjoy the day, make some cards, and be sure to load them into the World Card Making Day gallery!

Love all the cards!! The last card I sent was to one of our grandsons who just turned 11 years old! I punched out 11 balloons, glued a bit of string on the back, glossy accents on the front with a bit of glitter and arranged them in a bunch on the front of the card – it was fun to make!
