I finally have more details to share with you about January's Two Day Virtual Card Retreat. I'll be signing up myself later this afternoon (after I check my stash to see if I need anything else).
Over the summer, Stampin' Up! hosted their first Virtual Retreat (for scrapbooking) with huge success. I'm excited they decided to do one for us card makers.
What is it?
During this two-day virtual event, you’ll create 15 fabulous cards using the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat Kit. An
exciting live stream event hosted on Facebook with presentations by Stampin’ Up! staff, including CEO Sara Douglass. Gain expert tips, techniques, and tons of inspiration. Interact with other participants live and ask questions as we create together.
- Creative inspiration: Discover new techniques and hone your skills.
- Expert
guidance: Learn from experienced instructors who will help you complete your cards with step-by-step instructions.
- Community and fun: Connect with fellow crafters, share your progress, and enjoy a supportive atmosphere.
When is it?
The live event is on January 22 & 23, 4pm - 11pm ET (you'll have to convert for your own time zone).
You'll be able to download easy-to-follow instructions and enjoy video replays so you can craft at your own pace. Even if you can’t attend the live event, you can still purchase the kit and access all the materials you’ll need to make the cards on your own time.
How do I sign up?
Everyone who purchases this kit will automatically get access to the exclusive Facebook group where the live event will be held and the recordings will remain.
