Calling all card makers. ✂️💌 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.
🛍️ 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.
💙 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. 🥰✂️
