(See the Additional Supplies List for additional products you may already have on hand or will need to purchase to complete the 15 projects.)
Live stream magic: From January 22 to 23, 2026, join us for an exciting live stream event hosted on Facebook with presentations by Stampin’ Up! staff, including CEO Sara Douglass.

Private Facebook group: Connect with fellow crafters, ask questions, share your progress, and get motivated by the amazing community.
Detailed instructions: 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.


I wasn't able to attend the live event, so I've been watching the videos and making the cards as I had time. They are finally finished and I can't wait to share them with you! 

The retreat kit is still available to purchase and I highly recommend it! I've been stamping for over 26 years and I learned so much! New techniques, little tips and tricks, and more about the products and how they came to be. Order your kit before they sell out!

Let's start with Card #1:


I love the detailed background die in the Forever Florals bundle, which is included in the Retreat Kit! 


Lots of coloring- but did you notice the dots? That's from using the Color Lifter after coloring to remove some of the ink from the Stampin' Blends. So cool! I haven't used my Color Lifter much so this was a fun new technique to learn.

I used a different saying than the card they made for the class. That's the beauty of this kit- you can make the cards as shown or change them up for what you want.



Don't let the price scare you! It is on the more expensive side, but you get a lot of products and will learn so much!
