Virtual Card Retreat 2026
What’s better than spending two days making handmade cards? How about spending two days papercrafting while building community, networking, learning from the best in the business, and creating 15 different cards using various techniques, all from the comfort of your home? If this piques your interest, then you’re going to love the 2026 Stampin’ Up! Virtual Card Retreat.
Why You’ll Love Starting Your Year with a Virtual Card Retreat
The Stampin’ Up! Virtual Card Retreat is the perfect way to kick off the new year with a boost of creativity. Taking place entirely online on January 22-23, 2026, this two-day live card crafting event gives papercrafters from around the world an opportunity to come together. Livestreams will feature Stampin’ Up! experts and provide inspiration and skill-building.
By purchasing the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat Kit, you’ll get access to the exclusive Facebook group where the live event will stream. From designer paper to dies, stamp sets to flip flaps, this exclusive card making kit comes with enough supplies to create 15 unique cards. You can learn more about what’s included in the kit and the additional supplies you’ll need on the Virtual Card Retreat page.
How to Register and Get Ready
The best part about the Stampin’ Up! Virtual Card Retreat is that there’s no need to buy a plane ticket or fill your suitcase with all your favorite card making tools and supplies. We purposefully made this online card making workshop convenient so that everyone can participate.
Registration Details
Registration for the Virtual Card Retreat is open now! Spots are limited, so be sure to mark your calendar so you won’t miss out on this incredible opportunity! There is a $165 USD fee to join this online papercrafting retreat (check the price in your market here). However, your access to the event includes the Virtual Card Making Retreat Kit with enough supplies to create 15 unique card designs.
Preparing for the Retreat
There are a few things you will need to do to prepare for this virtual crafting experience. First, you’ll want to ensure that you receive the card making kit prior to the retreat. Some people like to craft along with the video in real time, while others prefer to watch the whole event and then go back and craft while watching the replays later. Both ways are great!
If you plan on crafting along with us in real time, gather any additional supplies and follow the instructions for preparing for the event. There’s a bit of prep work to get ready, and we’ll share more on our Facebook group about a week before the show. You can learn more about what’s included in the kit and the extra supplies you’ll need on the Virtual Card Retreat page.
Each day of the event will be broadcast live in a Facebook group, so be sure to log in to your social media account early. We encourage attendees to join the live broadcast in real time because it gives you the chance to feel the energy, ask questions, interact, and connect with fellow papercrafters. However, don’t worry if you can’t attend the whole event live. Video replays will be available immediately following the broadcast, so you’ll be able to catch up on anything you missed or re-watch parts you want to see again. (Videos with translated captions will be available shortly after.)
