Happy World Card Making Day!

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY...

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day. Founded by Paper Crafts magazine to bring card makers together at the beginning of the busiest card-making season of the year, it was first held on October 7, 2006. The initial celebration involved the Paper Crafts magazine audience only; however, due to the positive response it received and the worldwide popularity of card making, the holiday became known as World Card Making Day from then on.

Celebrating its 19th year in 2025, World Card Making Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. It's a day for the card-making community -- hobbyists, retailers, and manufacturers -- to unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.

Be inspired and share one of your World Card Making Projects with A Cut Above.

In honor of WCMD, A Cut Above will be choosing two winners for the October Challenge!

Join in the fun and you could be one of the randomly chosen winners.

October Challenge coming soon!
