Happy World Card Making Day! I'm going to challenge you to make a card and then do something completely foreign to most of my friends that come to class. Quite hording the paperhugs! Make your stamped card and then stick a POSTAGE stamp on it and send it out! Make that card and then make someones day!
I treated today like any other day and left my alarm set for 5:30am (bus comes REALLY early for my highschoolers). Since I didn't have to be at any am soccer games this morning and we had a crashed teenage guest on my couch, I couldn't possibly do my normal morning routine in the house right? And it was FAR to foggy to go for a walk. So, I treated myself to a two and a half hour early morning stamp session that was completely free from guilt!
I must work better under a little more of a time constraint because this card took the entire 2.5 hours to get just right. I will be using it on Monday & Tuesday's Glitz and Glimmer Class. I will probably try to do a quick video of this technique later this week. No, I don't have time, anymore, today. I've got some paperwork, chickens and children to feed and I think I want to try a batch of pesto before the afternoon soccer games and tonight's festivity. We are heading to a friend's fish boil. Mmm…sound like a perfect day. Let's hope the rain holds off.
Here's mine and then when you make yours, do this!
World Card Making Day Contest
October 5 is World Card Making Day. It’s a day to celebrate creativity and to make something meaningful. It’s also a day to kick off the holiday season and get a head start on making seasonal cards.
To celebrate this wonderful day, each concept artist has created a card to share with you. Making cards is a great way to express your creativity and foster relationships. We hope that this inspires you to make a card for someone on October 5.
