Get ready to refresh your creativity this spring! Mark your calendars for April 17–18, 2026, and join me and the Creativate team for our Spring 2026 Card Making Retreat. Registration is officially open, and we can’t wait to gather together for a weekend filled with stamping inspiration and creative fun.
The Creativate Retreat is all about creativity, connection, and community. Whether you’re crafting in your own space or inviting a few friends to stamp along with you, you’ll enjoy two days packed with fresh ideas, simple techniques, and beautiful projects designed to spark your creativity.
What makes this event truly special is that you’ll be creating with what you already have! No pressure to purchase new supplies — just bring your favorite stamps, ink, and paper, and we’ll guide you step-by-step through projects that help you make the most of them. From beginners to seasoned card makers, everyone will leave inspired, encouraged, and ready to keep creating.
Lots of Creative Fun at the Spring 2026 Card Making Retreat!
- 8 Stamping Presentations: Each presentation is streamed live on YouTube at the scheduled time so you can chat and interact with other attendees. Can’t attend live? No problem — all sessions are recorded. Prefer to skip the live “chit-chat”? Every project also includes a pre-recorded video paired with the written PDF tutorial so you can jump straight into creating.
- 48 Step-By-Step PDF Tutorials: That’s 48 projects designed to work with the card making supplies you already own. Every skill level is covered — from beginner to seasoned stamper — with a wide variety of layouts, techniques, and fun folds to keep your creativity flowing long after the retreat ends.
- Pre-Retreat Stamping Challenges: The fun starts before April 17! Each Monday leading up to the retreat, a new challenge is posted (with a tutorial included). Participate as a challenge — or simply use the ideas as bonus projects to get warmed up and inspired.
- 32 Prize Giveaways: Every registered attendee is automatically entered to win — no need to attend live. Four winners are announced at the end of each presentation, and all winners are posted on the retreat hub.
- Private Website Access: Everything is organized in one easy-to-navigate space. You’ll find all presentation links, tutorial downloads, and retreat resources — with lifetime access so you can revisit anytime.
- Optional Private Facebook Group: Connect with fellow card makers, share your projects, ask questions, and keep the inspiration going inside our Creativate online community.
All of this for just $55

Meet The Creativate Team
I’d love for you to join me, Brandy Cox, Sharon Armstrong, and Connie Stewart for our next quarterly online stamping retreat! We’re four top Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who just happen to be not only “best friends” in life, but also “best stamping friends.” Each quarter, we come together to share loads of creative inspiration and connect with this amazing, vibrant community of crafters — and we can’t wait to share it with you!
Each team member brings their unique stamping style to the retreat, guaranteeing a fun variety of projects to learn and that there’s something new for everyone. Our goal is to get you stamping with products you already have and to keep you creating until the next retreat.
We hope to see you in October for our Creativate Winter 2026 Retreat!
