Oh what a fun day we’ve had! We have loved reading your comments today as they have really embraced what we wanted this day to be about…sharing, creating and connecting. You’ve shared who you would like to share a class with in our 9:00 am post, who you would love to say “hello” to in our 12:00 post, who you think could use a little crafty supplies sent their way in our 12:00 post and last hour what you’re thankful for! But this hour it’s all about you and celebrating today…
Supplies: Cardstock-American Crafts, Sticky Notes- Crate Paper, Enamel Dots-Simple Stories, Mist-Heidi Swapp, Cut file-Scrapbook and Cards Today, misc buttons and crochet twine
“My favorite all-time tip for creating cards is to use up items in my stash. You know, some of those smaller items that you have to have that don’t always find a place on the project like you intended.
For my card, I chose to use some fun banner sticky notes to create small banners for my card front! I love the smaller size that lend perfectly to the size of a card. I used some chipboard from my stash and instead of just saying HELLO, I chose to use a “celebrate today” because that is a great way to say hello to a friend or loved one right!” ~ Nicole Nowosad
……………
As our way to celebrate YOU, our team would love to share their cards with 10 people who have commented today! A little handmade kindness is always nice to receive in the mailbox! We wish we could send a card to everyone who has shared this day with us but instead we ask that you create a card to honour this day and our time together and place it in the mail to someone you feel could really use a smile! If you can, take a picture of it and tag us at @sctmagazine so we can see!
But guess what, we are not quite done yet! We received some lovely gifts from some of our partners and this hour we want to end it with a bang! First, there’s this…
Our sweet friends at Simon Says Stamp have donated a $25 gift certificate (we have the one with the actual certificate number!) to share in today’s celebration AND if you head on over to their blog not only are they showcasing a stunning array of cards from all over the world, but you’ll have the opportunity to win a one year subscription to Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine…your favourite magazine right? :lol:
And one more! Our sweet friends at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L have a fabulous $25 adhesive package to give away to this hour’s winner! We also spotted some fabulous inspiration on their blog and another opportunity to win a $30 prize package. Head over to their blog to enter.
For an opportunity to win this hour’s prizes be sure to leave a comment below by October 12th! Good luck!

With that SCT friends, our World Card Making Day 2017 is a wrap! Again, we have loved connecting with you today and if ever anyone says “really you make cards?”, we hope you’ll smile sweetly and say “OH YES I DO!!!” And also tell them there is a day dedicated to celebrating it. Handmade cards bring so much joy so keep creating them! xoxoxo
I love days like this! Thanks for the fun and the great inspiration! Cannot wait to get started on a few cards myself!
What a fabulous card – so bright and cheery! Thanks for all the inspiration and the great prizes today!
I do smile and say just that! I made a hooray card for a co-worker who is working so very hard to lose weight… the inside said, “The scale loves you.” You can’t buy that just anywhere!!
Thanks for all the fun today.

I wish I could’ve spent all day making cards (which I love to do!!) but needed to spend time with my ailing mother.

Great card! Such a fun day full of inspiration! Thanks for all who donated and created for us today.
Amazing and fresh card! I love it! :)
What a fun way to end the day. All of you who make cards should be proud and loud about it. I not only have been making cards for over 20 years I also volunteer tutor seniors in card making once a week to help keep their brains active and it’s so much fun.
I’ve been in my craft space all afternoon celebrating WCM day and LOVING it! Love your card and that some very lucky people will receive them. How cool is that!
It is so fabulous that some lucky person/people will receive the incredible cards shared today!! Love Simon Says Stamps and Scrapbook Adhesives too!!
What a fun card! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wowzers…what fun and an awesome card. LOVE SSS and I need to place an order when I get more money so a Gift Cert would be awesome. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for sharing the days inspiration and surprises. Its wonderful folks like your team who help keep the cards and scrapbooks and papercrafting hobby going. I love making and sharing a special card with someone who needs a little bit of cheer, although today I have been too busy preparing for our Thanksgiving meal with family to play with paper, as soon as the dust settles I am going to be digging out my scissor and glue and playing with those little odds and ends of trims and stickers to come up with some special cards.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving! :D
Thank you for an awesome day!!!!
I have the evening free to play with paper and glue. will be going back over some of the ideas as I want to make a few. Thank you for a fun time as always. No one scraps with me so this is as close as I can get.
Thanks so much for hosting a WCMD event! Loved following along!
Thank you SCT!! Really enjoyed checking in and getting a ton of inspiration! Happy Thanksgiving!
I never thought of using all those different flags that way. What a bright cheery card. Sweet of Simon Says to sponsor a gift card. It would be super to win that! Thanks for celebrating World Card Making Day!
What a beautiful cheery card! Thank you for the fun day filled with crafty inspirations.
I always appreciate more tips and techniques like you always share. Love the banner card. I like to use my stash too…but it grows faster than I use it.
