Stampin’ Up! 2026 Virtual Card Retreat: Create 15 Cards & Craft Along October 1–2


Calling all card makers. ✂️πŸ’Œ Stampin’ Up! is bringing crafters together for TWO creativity-filled days with the 2026 Virtual Card Retreat, happening October 1–2, 2026.

If you love the step-by-step crafting experience of Paper Pumpkin but are ready to take your card making to the next level, this retreat was designed for you. You’ll create 15 beautiful, unique, technique-focused handmade cards while crafting along virtually with Stampin’ Up! staff.



✂️ What Is the Virtual Card Retreat?

The Virtual Card Retreat is a two-day online crafting event celebrating creativity, card making, and community just in time for World Card Making Day on October 3.

The retreat takes place October 1–2, with crafting beginning at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time each day and continuing for up to seven hours. You’ll learn new techniques, interact with Stampin’ Up! staff, and create alongside a community of fellow crafters.

And you don't have to worry if you can't watch everything live. The retreat will take place in a private Facebook group where you'll also have access to the on-demand videos. Step-by-step instructions and a preparation video will be posted in the group approximately two weeks before the event.


🎁 The 2026 October Card Retreat Kit

Your 2026 October Card Retreat Kit (#170632) is your ticket to the event . . . there is no separate retreat registration.

The kit is $165 and is packed with exclusive crafting goodies, including:

✨ Two stamp sets
✨ One die set
✨ Designer Series Paper
✨ Two-Tone Cardstock with cutting guidelines printed on the back
✨ Printed precut images
✨ Embellishments
✨ Envelopes
✨ Basic White Cardstock
✨ One sheet of Gold Foil Paper
✨ A personalized link to join the exclusive retreat Facebook group

And look at the projects. 😍 The complete collection includes 15 different card designs, from butterflies and florals to rainbows, embroidery-inspired details, sunshine, and more. 


πŸ›️ A Few Additional Supplies Are Needed

One important thing to know before ordering: this is not an all-inclusive kit.

There is an Additional Supplies List with the ink pads, adhesives, coloring tools, and other basic crafting tools you'll want to have ready before the retreat.

If you need help figuring out what you already own versus what you'll need to order, please reach out to me. I'm happy to help you get retreat-ready.


πŸ’™ Craft Live . . . or at Your Own Pace

Part of the fun will be crafting together live, but having access to the recorded content means you can also work through your projects at a pace that works for you.

The 2026 October Card Retreat Kit is available only while supplies last, so I definitely wouldn't wait too long if this sounds like your kind of crafty getaway.

Grab your favorite drink, clear off that craft table, and get ready for two days of creativity, techniques, beautiful handmade cards, and crafty community . . . all without leaving home. πŸ₯°✂️

Stampin' Up! September 2026 Online Exclusives Are Here . . . See Everything New


One of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! is that we no longer have to wait months between catalogs to discover exciting new products. With Online Exclusives, fresh releases arrive throughout the year, giving us even more inspiration for card making, scrapbooking, home dΓ©cor, and paper crafting.

The brand-new September 2026 Online Exclusives Product List is filled with beautiful new products that are perfect for the upcoming fall and holiday crafting season. Whether you're looking for elegant winter scenery, whimsical Christmas images, gorgeous florals, coordinating dies, festive papers, or beautiful embellishments, this release has something for every crafter. The September product list includes suites, bundles, individual stamp sets, dies, Designer Series Papers, ribbon, embellishments, and additional coordinating products to make shopping easy.

One of the biggest advantages of the Online Exclusives program is its flexibility. Rather than waiting for seasonal catalogs, new products can be released throughout the year. Some products will be replenished when inventory gets low, while others are only available while supplies last, making it a good idea to purchase your favorites sooner rather than later.

As I looked through this release, several collections immediately caught my attention. The Alpine Winter Suite is stunning for snowy scenes and elegant holiday cards, while the Merry Mischief Bundle adds a playful touch to Christmas projects. The Poetic Petals Bundle is perfect for year-round crafting, and the Festive Framed Photos Bundle offers wonderful options for scrapbook layouts and memory keeping.

If you'd like help choosing products that fit your crafting style, I'd be happy to help. I love helping crafters find products they'll enjoy using for years to come.

Wanting to here what I have to say about it? Check out my YouTube Video.

Thank you so much for stopping by Keeley's Kreations. I truly appreciate you taking time out of your day to share my love of paper crafting. Whether you're a longtime Stampin' Up! fan or you're discovering Online Exclusives for the very first time, I hope today's look at the September 2026 release sparked new ideas and added a few exciting products to your wish list.

Remember that Online Exclusives are designed to keep inspiration flowing all year long. Since new releases are introduced throughout the year . . . and some items are only available while supplies last . . . it's always a good idea to grab your favorites before they're gone.

If you have questions about any of the products, need help placing an order, or would like personalized recommendations based on your crafting style, please don't hesitate to reach out. I love helping fellow crafters create projects they'll be proud to share.

Be sure to bookmark my blog, subscribe to my YouTube channel, and follow me on social media so you never miss new tutorials, product reviews, inspiration, and special promotions. Until next time . . .

Happy stamping and happy creating. ❤️

2 NEW Stampin’ Up! Kits for September 2026 | Floral Promenade Cards + Merry Manor Christmas DΓ©cor

TWO NEW STAMPIN’ UP! KITS ARE HERE FOR SEPTEMBER. ✨

One of the things I love about the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection is that you never quite know what kind of creativity is coming next. Sometimes it’s card making, sometimes it’s home dΓ©cor, and this month we get a little bit of BOTH. πŸ’•

The September 2026 Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection brings us two completely different projects: the beautiful Floral Promenade Kit for heartfelt handmade cards and the festive Merry Manor Kit for creating an adorable Christmas house.

Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy card-making project or something special to create for your holiday dΓ©cor, there’s a new kit waiting for you.

🌸 FLORAL PROMENADE KIT . . .

Sometimes finding the right words isn’t easy. That’s where a handmade card can say so much.

The Floral Promenade Kit combines beautiful watercolor-style florals with printed card bases and precut sentiments to create cards that feel warm, thoughtful and heartfelt.

You’ll make 8 cards total . . . 4 each of 2 designs . . . with coordinating envelopes included.


The color combination is gorgeous, too:

πŸ–€ Basic Black
πŸ’› Crushed Curry
πŸ’œ Gorgeous Grape
🀎 Kraft
🩷 Melon Mambo
πŸ’š Old Olive



Your kit includes the Floral Promenade Stamp Set, clear stamp block, Barely Blush Classic Stampin’ Spot, precut paper pieces, embellishments, adhesive, envelopes and step-by-step instructions.

This would be a wonderful kit to have on hand when you want to send a little encouragement, comfort, care or love. ❤️

And because everything is coordinated for you, you can spend less time figuring out what goes together and more time enjoying the creative process.





πŸ πŸŽ„ MERRY MANOR KIT . . .

Okay . . . how CUTE is the idea of building your own little Christmas manor?!

The Merry Manor Kit takes us beyond cards and into Christmas home dΓ©cor with a nostalgic little house filled with storybook holiday charm.

You’ll build one 8" x 9-1/2" Christmas house, complete with festive details like garland-trimmed windows, charming trees, foil, tissue paper and gold embellishments.

The traditional Christmas color palette includes:

πŸ’› Crushed Curry
🀎 Crumb Cake
πŸ’™ Pretty Peacock
❤️ Real Red
πŸ’š Shaded Spruce


Follow the step-by-step instructions to create the house as designed, or have some fun adding your own creative touches to make your Merry Manor completely YOURS.

IMPORTANT: A glue gun is required to complete the Merry Manor Kit and is not included.

I think this would be such a fun project to work on with a crafty friend, your kids or grandkids . . . or put on some Christmas music, pour yourself something warm and make an afternoon of it. 🎢☕πŸŽ„




WHY I LOVE THE STAMPIN’ UP! KITS COLLECTION . . .

Stampin’ Up! kits are such an easy way to fit creativity into real life.

They’re wonderful for:

πŸ’• New crafters who aren’t sure where to begin
πŸ’• Busy crafters who want a project without all the planning
πŸ’• Experienced crafters looking for something quick and relaxing
πŸ’• Crafting with friends and family
πŸ’• Gifts for creative people
πŸ’• Anyone who simply wants the FUN of making without having to design everything from scratch

And with project types ranging from handmade cards to home dΓ©cor, the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection gives you lots of different ways to get creative.

🌸 WHICH SEPTEMBER KIT WOULD YOU PICK? πŸŽ„

Are you reaching for the beautiful florals of Floral Promenade . . .

OR . . .

Are you ready to deck the halls with Merry Manor?

Of course, there is always Option C: BOTH. πŸ˜‚

The new September kits are available while supplies last, so if one is calling your name, I wouldn’t wait too long.


At this time there are over 30 kits available for purchase which vary from greeting cards, to gift tags, to home decor items and more. WOW! That's a LOT.

These Kits provide an opportunity to create with a limited amount of supplies; perfect for creating on the go or when you just are focused on the joy of finished projects.

These are also the kits that we use at my Girls Night Out (GNO) Events held twice a month at the Hyatt Place in Verona, WI. Come Join Us.

NEW Stampin’ Up! September–December 2026 Catalog | Holiday & Fall Paper Crafting Sneak Peek


The NEW Stampin’ Up! September–December 2026 Catalog is HERE. πŸŽ‰

And if you love fall crafting, Christmas projects, card making, scrapbooking, and discovering brand-new Stampin’ Up! products, you are going to want to grab a cup of something yummy and spend a little time with this catalog.

I recently sat down for a Facebook Live walk-through of the new Stampin’ Up! September–December 2026 Catalog, and now I'm sharing all that excitement here too.

There is a LOT to see.

A New Season of Stampin’ Up! Creativity

One of my favorite things about a new Stampin’ Up! catalog is that first flip through the pages.

You start innocently enough . . .

"Oh, that's pretty."

Then . . .

"Oooooh, I really like THAT."

And suddenly you're three pages into a handwritten wish list wondering how everything became a must-have. πŸ˜‚

Sound familiar?

The September–December 2026 Catalog is filled with products and inspiration to take us through some of my favorite crafting seasons of the year.

We're talking cozy autumn projects πŸ‚, festive Christmas crafting πŸŽ„, beautiful Designer Series Papers, stamps, dies, embellishments, creative project ideas, and so much more.




And Scrapbookers . . . There's Something for You Too.

I was especially excited to see the new Scrapbooking Workshop Kits.

Three are featured with this catalog:

Memorable Garden Scrapbooking Workshop Kit
Beautiful watercolor imagery, tiled patterns, and versatile designs that can work with birthdays, anniversaries, family photos, and everyday memories.

Autumn Fields Scrapbooking Workshop Kit
Think gorgeous fall colors, sunflowers, leaves, and all those warm autumn memories just begging to make their way into an album.

Home for Christmas Scrapbooking Workshop Kit
Christmas trees, gingerbread, presents, stockings, bows and all the festive details you need for documenting your favorite holiday traditions.

Each workshop creates three two-page 12" x 12" scrapbook spreads, and I love that select papers even have cutting guides printed on the back to help make creating the layouts easier.

Watch My September–December Catalog Walk-Through

If flipping through a catalog with a crafty friend sounds more fun than doing it alone, come watch my complete Stampin’ Up! September–December Catalog walk-through.

I'll show you what's inside, point out products that caught my attention, and give you plenty of opportunities to add a few things . . . or perhaps a LOT of things . . . to that wish list. πŸ˜‰

And if you watch on YouTube, make sure you subscribe to Keeley's Kreations while you're there. I'll be sharing lots of projects, tutorials, scrapbooking ideas, product inspiration, and my I Made This Myself Monday videos as we create our way through this new catalog.

What's #1 on YOUR List?

That's the question I really want answered.

After you've looked through the catalog or watched my walk-through, leave me a comment and tell me:

What ONE product went immediately to the top of your September–December Catalog wish list?

I'm already looking forward to seeing which products become everyone's favorites.
