Happy World Card Making Day from Simon Says Stamp!
Happy World Card Making Day from Simon Says Stamp—It’s a holiday created just for all of us! A few years ago we shared this epic video, and it’s too good not to share again!
The best thing about World Card Making Day is not only making cards, but the idea that there are people all over the WORLD making cards, too. These people share our passion for creativity and happy mail. In the spirit of this connective nature and to celebrate our favorite holiday, we’ve compiled a video featuring designers from around the world. Meet your favorite designers, peer into their worlds, and hear what they love about making cards (in 8 different languages)!
How fun was that? And now we want to hear from you… tell us your name, where you live, and what YOU love about card making!
World Card Making Day was created in 2006, and the original purpose was to kick-start the holiday card making season. Chances are you make lots of cards for Christmas, but we all know that those beautiful cards don’t come together in one night. So grab your scissors and adhesives and cardstock and stamps and make some cards today! Your family can fend for themselves, right? You deserve to celebrate.
And of course you are looking for inspiration to get those Christmas cards started, so here are some beautiful projects from Caly Person, Mindy Eggen, and Joe Sysavath using some products from our STAMPtember® 2024 release!
Caly used the Big Bow and Double Plaid Cover dies, the Big Holiday Words stamp and coordinating die, and Red Earth ink cubes for this lush Christmas card.
Mindy used the Snowflake Stripes stencils and Peaceful Trees stamp set for this eye-catching holiday card.
Joe used the Berry Happy Hummingbird embossing folder and Big Holiday Words stamp and coordinating die to create this stunning Christmas design.

Hi! I’m from Chicago, Illinois. Will soon be relocating to Arizona. Ive been a crafter for decades. But I started out making cards during COVID as a way to send joy to others and get their mind off of what was going on in the world. Then I realized how much of a de-stresser it was for me. I still do other crafts but not nearly as much as I used to. Especially since friends and family look forward to my cards for birthdays and holidays. And I have a BIG family so I send tons of cards a month.
Hello!
I’m from Norway and have been papercrafting for over 25 years and still love it! My favourite is cardmaking and I love to stamp and diecutting.
Happy WCD! So many lovely comments from card makers. But as Jenn S said, I like the variety of card making, mixed media or just adding to my personal journals. It’s a way to express myself!
Hi, there, everyone –
I’m Lori Spitzer and I live in Pennsylvania, about 55 mi outside of Philadelphia (Lancaster Co.). I love cardmaking because I get to do something creative that lets another person know that I thought so much of him or her that I took a few minutes (or a few hours!) to make a piece of personal art for him or her.
Happy World Cardmaking Day to you all!
I’m from Cape Cod as well! I looooooove card making! It’s a great creative outlet, little pieces of ART….and the joy I get from sending them (and I actually do!) is amazing–you can’t buy that kind of happiness–well I guess you can, especially with all of the fabulous products you can find here at Simon Says Stamp! Love seeing everyone, all so wildly talented!!! Happy WCMD!!!
Happy WCMD! I am from the greater San Diego area. I love card making because I get to play and create cards that gives joy to others. It’s a win-win!
I’m from a small town in Washington. I have been primarily a scrapbooker for many years but got into card making a couple years ago when I decided I wanted to give cards that meant more to the recipient.
I’m a New York transplant, living in Alabama. Cardmaking has really taken me on a journey for the last 14 or so years. From being the first CHA influencer guest blogger and show photographer in 2014 for one of their trade shows, to being on design teams and garnering friends from all over the world. I’m super blessed and love dipping my toes into this beautiful world!
Hello! :) I’m from Singapore! I love cardmaking and papercrafts! ❤️
Hi! I’m Kristin SLuhan from Toledo Ohio! I feel my purpose in life is bringing something beautiful to someone’s day. Card giving is something that I can use to brighten up someone’s day that is far from me… and even those living in close proximity! A little card in your teenager’s backpack goes a LONG way.
I am from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I love making cards to show people I am thinking about them and to celebrate special moments in their lives.
Happy WCMD! I am Pam from Iowa and I love that I can bring a smile to someone by them receiving a handmade card in the mail. Who doesn’t enjoy getting happy mail instead of just bills. :)
Happy WCMD! I’m spending the day watching college football, walking the dog and making cards in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Happy World Cardmaking Day everyone. I’m a brit living in Norway. Cardmaking keeps me happy and I’ve made so many crafty friends over the years. Blogland is such a friendly and sharing community. May the mojo be with you. Hugz
Hello, my name is Deborah and I am from North Carolina. I love the creative process of cardmaking and experimenting with color and mediums.
Playing Five Nights at Freddy’s is like running a marathon: You always want to stop but can’t.
I’m in northern CA and I started stamping around 1986 after attending a friend’s stamp party at her home. It always holds an interest for me with new products coming out all the time and so much inspiration! I love creating a card to send to someone and hope that it touches them to receive it!
Hello! My mom and I are from Idaho! We love card making. We have been crafting since I was knee high to a grasshopper. It is so much fun, relaxing, and it is something we can do together. We love to send our cards to friends and family and those in need! It is always worth it to share kindness and love! Happy world card making day/week to everyone!
World Card Making Day sounds like such a fun and creative celebration! It’s a perfect excuse to gather all your crafting supplies and make beautiful cards for your loved ones. I love how this holiday brings together people from around the world, all sharing a passion for creativity.
I like the author’s article very much, and the greeting card is very beautiful.
