World Card Making Day Inspired Cards

October 9, 2025

I participated in the FREE virtual World Card Making Day (#WorldCardMakingDay25) presented by Stampin’ Up!™ over the weekend. It was lots of fun and I got some great ideas and tips.

I don’t have the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit which was featured during the event, but I was inspired by the three cards they showed during the event to use some of the products I do have on hand to make these cards.

This first one was inspired by the rainbow card in the Kit. I’m sending it out to some customers soon to thank them for recent orders.
