WORLD CARD MAKING DAY - 5 OCTOBER 2019
World Card Making Day is celebrated all around the world on 5 October. The best way to celebrate Card Making Day is, of course to learn how to make your own cards! Find a class that is local to you or find a stamp club that you can join. Don't be intimidated by some of the cards on Pinterest or Facebook, remember everyone started somewhere. The only limit to your cards is your imagination, so let your creativity fly and send your friends and family a personalized handmade card today.
I wanted to create a card for World Card Making Day with the stamp set 'Natures Beauty' as this stamp set is one that Stampin' Up! are donating $4.50 of each purchase in NZ to Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. Crafting has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression so combining the two for this day is appropriate. It has also been shown to stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain - whatever makes you happy makes you stronger.
