World Card Making Day
About World Card Making Day
When is World Card Making Day? This holiday is the first Saturday in October
World Card Making Day is a special October day. You do not have to be a kid to participate in this holiday. Rather, people of all ages can enjoy this holiday. It encourages everyone in the whole wide world, to make a homemade greeting card. Certainly, the card companies won’t like that! Besides, a homemade greeting card is far less expensive than a store bought one.
How many people are on your list? Make a greeting card for each of them. Then, mail them or give them out in person… that’s more fun. You can make a card for literally every occasion. There are plenty of Ecard greeting card sites where you can prepare and send a card, too. But, nothing says “I care” more than a handmade card that you make right at home.
Homemade greeting cards are usually made of construction paper. Also, you can make a card from a greeting card software package right on your computer. Use your own words to get a message across to the recipient. Decorate it with pictures and images. Finally, print it out using construction paper or cardstock. I bet you will find making cards so much fun, that you will create more than one card.
When you make a homemade card today, don’t feel bad for the big card companies. They make plenty of money off the cards you send the other 364 days of the year.
How to Celebrate World Card Making Day
- Pull out the cardboard paper, pens, and crayons. Now, make a homemade greeting card.
