Stamping Cross Country Fall 2026 Registration Is OPEN!

This is more than a retreat—it’s an experience!

I’m so excited to invite you to join us for Stamping Cross Country Fall 2026, a week-long celebration of stamping, creativity, friendship, games, challenges, prizes, and plenty of fun!

Our Fall experience begins September 25, when the private Facebook group opens, and continues through October 4. The main live crafting days will be October 2 & 3, with all five of us together for a full weekend of creative fun.

And yes… October 3 is World Card Making Day! What better way to celebrate than spending the day stamping together? ❤️

Here's What's Waiting for You!

This time around, we're featuring 10 exclusive card projects using the Christmas Mice and Radiant Sunflowers Bundles.

You'll get:

🎥 10 live demonstrations from all five of us
📘 10 complete project tutorials plus 20+ bonus tutorials
🎉 Games, challenges, prizes, and surprises
🎟️ Bingo
🔍 Mystery Stamping
💬 Zoom Craft & Chat
✨ Tips, techniques, inspiration, and plenty of time to create along with us
🎬 Access to the demonstration videos and replays so you can enjoy them even if you can't be there live

And the fun actually begins before our live weekend. On or before September 25, you'll receive an email with your tutorials and challenges so you'll be ready to jump into the week as soon as the Facebook group opens.

Choose Your Retreat Experience

📦 Full Retreat — $99 + $10 shipping

This is the all-in experience!

Your Retreat Box includes the products and cardstock needed to create all 10 featured projects, along with some special surprise gifts. The box has a value of more than $235!

You'll also receive all of the digital retreat content and access to everything happening throughout the week.

💻 Digital Only — $60

Want to join the fun but prefer to use supplies you already have?

The Digital Only option gives you the full virtual retreat experience without the physical Retreat Box. You'll have access to the demonstrations, tutorials, games, challenges, bingo, prizes, replays, and all the fun happening throughout the week.

You can use your own supplies and create along with us—or simply sit back, watch, and soak up the inspiration. There's no wrong way to do it!

We've also made several optional add-ons available when you register:

🎁 Goodie Bag + Card Kit — $39 — valued at over $50
🎟️ Extra Bingo Cards — $5 each
📘 Printed Tutorials — $10
💌 Extra Card Kit — $25 — cardstock and envelopes
🐭 Christmas Mice Bundle — $66

You can choose exactly what works for you. Want the full box? Great! Want digital only? Perfect! Want to add a few extras? We've got you covered.

🎁 Early Bird Bonus

There's a little extra incentive to register early!

Full Retreat registration closes August 31 so we have plenty of time to order, prepare, and pack all those boxes with lots of love.

And Then There's Hot Foil Sunday…

We've added another fun bonus to the Fall experience!

Hot Foil Sunday will be included with your Fall SCC registration. We'll be sharing projects, demonstrations, and tutorials to inspire you to try some hot foiling of your own.

There won't be a physical Hot Foil kit included with your Retreat Box, but you'll have access to the event and tutorials as part of your Fall SCC experience.

We're also opening Hot Foil Sunday to the public for a limited time, so if you have friends who aren't registered for SCC, they can join in on the fun too. After that public access period, extended access and the Hot Foil tutorials will be available for purchase separately.

Ready to Join Us?

If a week of stamping, learning new ideas, making beautiful cards, playing games, visiting with other crafters, and having a whole lot of fun sounds like your kind of week, we'd love to have you join us!

We've been doing Stamping Cross Country since 2021, and one of my favorite things about these events is that it really doesn't matter where you live. We can all sit down at our craft tables, turn on our computers, and spend some time creating together.

That's what makes this more than a retreat.

It's an experience. ❤️

We can't wait to see you inside the group on September 25 and spend the week creating with you!

Hot Foil: See It In Action!

Have you been curious about Stampin' Up!'s new Hot Foil system and wondering exactly how it works? That's exactly
why we created our latest Stamping Cross Country event, Hot Foil: See It In Action!

For this special event, the five of us each took a turn showing the Hot Foil system in action and sharing different ways to use it in your paper crafting.

Barb kicked things off by walking everyone through the Hot Foil system and how to use it, along with a project featuring the Sweetly Sentimental Set and Garden Silhouette Die.

Then we each demonstrated a different Hot Foil Bundle:

✨ Cheryl — Botanical Glow Bundle
✨ Cyndy — Flourish & Frames Bundle
✨ Marcy — Echoes of Detail Bundle
✨ Marion — Shimmering Scenes Bundle

With five different presenters and five different approaches, it was a great way to see what this new system can do and pick up ideas for incorporating hot foil into your own projects.

Missed the Event?

You can still watch!

Lifetime access to Hot Foil: See It In Action! is available for just $5. You'll be able to watch all five demonstrations at your own pace and come back to them whenever you'd like.

👉 Get Lifetime Access Here

There's More Creativity Ahead!

Hot Foil: See It In Action! is just one of the creative events we host through Stamping Cross Country.

Throughout the year, we get together virtually to share stamping, card making, scrapbooking, techniques, new products, and plenty of creative inspiration.

If you enjoyed seeing what we did with Hot Foil—or you're just discovering Stamping Cross Country—we hope you'll join us for one of our upcoming events.

We'd love to craft with you!

Summer 2026 Virtual Retreat

Get ready for another creative weekend with the Stamping Cross Country Online Retreat! Since 2021, we’ve been bringing stampers together from across the country for weekends filled with inspiration, creativity, friendship, and fun — all from the comfort of home.

Our Summer 2026 retreat is shaping up to be another amazing event featuring talented presenters, fresh project ideas, creative techniques, and plenty of opportunities to be inspired.

During the retreat, attendees can look forward to:

✨ Live stamping demonstrations
📘 20+ creative tutorials
🎥 Access to retreat videos and replays
🎉 Games, prizes, and interactive fun
💌 Cardmaking inspiration for a variety of styles and skill levels

One of the things we love most about Stamping Cross Country is the community that has grown around these events. Whether someone is brand new to stamping or has been crafting for years, everyone is welcome to join in the fun.

Can’t craft live the whole weekend? No problem! Our retreat experience is designed to be flexible, allowing participants to watch replays and create on their own schedule.

We also love encouraging crafters to “shop their supplies” and make projects their own using products they already have on hand.

In addition to our paid retreat experience, we’ve also begun adding special public creative events to bring even more inspiration to the crafting community — and we’re excited about what’s ahead for Summer 2026!

✨ Ready to join us? Registration is now open for the Summer 2026 Stamping Cross Country Retreat. We would love to have you craft along with us for this fun-filled creative weekend!

Come create, connect, and be inspired with us 💕✨

Scrapbook Sunday – February Creative Event

At the end of our Winter Stamping Cross Country Retreat in February, we tried something new — Scrapbook Sunday, a special one-day event that was open to everyone!

This public event was designed to inspire memory keeping in a simple, approachable way. Whether you’re someone who scrapbooks regularly or you’ve never made a layout before, Scrapbook Sunday was all about showing how easy and fun it can be to get your photos onto a page.

Throughout the event, we shared a series of scrapbook layouts, creative ideas, and helpful tips to spark your creativity. From quick and easy pages to more detailed designs, each presentation offered something a little different — and plenty of inspiration you can use with supplies you already have.

If you missed it (or want to watch again), you can catch all of the videos here:

We encourage you to grab a few photos, “shop your supplies,” and create along as you watch. There’s no right or wrong way — just your memories, your style, and your story.

We loved sharing this event with you… and who knows, you may just see Scrapbook Sunday again in the future 😉💕✨

Winter 2026 Virtual Retreat

Our Winter 2026 Stamping Cross Country Retreat is an incredible weekend of creativity, connection, and inspiration! We love gathering together for live demonstrations, fresh project ideas, and plenty of techniques to spark new creativity.

While the full retreat experience is a paid event, we’re excited to share that two of our special features are completely free and open to everyone!

✨ Mystery Stamping — where we guide you step-by-step through a surprise project. It’s always fun to see how everyone’s creativity shines through the same set of clues!

📚 Scrapbook Sunday — a brand-new addition to our lineup, designed to inspire memory keeping in a simple, approachable way. Whether you’re an experienced scrapbooker or just curious about trying it, this event was created with you in mind.

Both of these events are available to watch on the Stamping Cross Country YouTube channel, and we would love for you to head over, tune in, and create along with us.

If you enjoy what you see, be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss future creative events. We offer our virtual retreats several times a year — typically Winter, Summer, and Fall — and there’s always something fun happening in our community.

We hope you’ll join us and stamp along soon! 💕✨

Welcome!

Stamping Cross Country began in 2021 with one simple goal — to bring stampers together no matter where they live. What started as a virtual retreat has grown into a creative community that gathers several times a year to craft, connect, and be inspired.

We typically offer this online retreat three times a year — Winter, Summer, and Fall — and each event is packed with creativity, demonstrations, tutorials, and plenty of fun. Our retreats feature multiple presenters, a variety of project styles, and opportunities to learn new techniques while crafting from the comfort of home.

Whether you join us live for the full experience or catch the tutorials and replays later, Stamping Cross Country is designed to be welcoming, encouraging, and full of inspiration.

We truly love being part of something that helps people slow down, create something beautiful, and connect with others who share the same passion. If you haven’t joined us yet, we hope you’ll consider crafting with us at a future retreat — we’d love to have you. 💕
