Okay, friends… you already know I’ve been working on something pretty exciting behind the scenes, but I don’t think I’ve properly told you just how excited I am to be part of it! 😂
For the very first time, six Stamp It demonstrators are coming together to create the Home for Christmas Online Retreat, and somehow I get to be one of them!
I have joined forces with some amazing fellow demonstrators: Tami White, Linda Cullen, Lori Mueller, Oksana Semenska, and Beth Brach—and let me just say, there is going to be a whole lot of creativity packed into one retreat. 🎄✂️
We each bring our own creative style to the table, which means you’ll get a fun mix of projects, ideas, cards, fun folds, techniques, and inspiration. And honestly? I think it’s going to be one of those crafty events where you’re going to want snacks, comfy clothes, and absolutely no plans for the rest of the day. 😂
And because apparently we don’t know how to do anything small…you can make it an entire weekend!
Welcome to the Home for Christmas Online Retreat!
Join us on October 3 for World Card Making Day as we spend the day creating, learning, connecting, and celebrating Christmas crafting together!
I’ll be joining forces with my favorite fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators: Tami White, Linda Cullen, Lori Mueller, Oksana Semenska, and Beth Brach as we bring you a variety of creative ideas, projects, demonstrations, and plenty of Christmas inspiration.
This isn’t just one card class.
We’re talking cards, fun folds, a Mini Album, video demonstrations, tutorials, giveaways, crafty friends, and plenty of inspiration to keep you creating!
And the best part? If life happens—and let’s be honest, it usually does—you’ll have replay access so you can enjoy the projects on your own schedule.

We also use the Stylish Shapes Dies in the class. If you don’t have these you can improvise, you will also have the opportunity to add them on with the retreat registration.
Can’t Be There Live? No Problem!
The Home for Christmas Facebook Group opens on September 20, and we’ll share the full retreat schedule there.
Your complete 25-project PDF tutorial collection will be sent on October 1, and then we’ll celebrate together on October 3!
Can’t make it live? No stress.
Everything happens in our private Facebook Group, and the demonstrations will be available on replay. Craft with us live, watch later in your pajamas, or do a little bit of both. 😂 I won’t judge. I’ll probably be doing the same thing!
To make sure your class supplies arrive before retreat day, register by September 15.
Registration will remain open through October 10, so even if you discover us a little late, you can still join the Facebook Group, catch the replays, and enjoy all the crafty goodness.
But Wait… Why Stop at One Day? 👀
Now this is where things get REALLY fun.
World Card Making Day is October 3…
But why should we only craft for one day when we could make it a THREE-DAY CRAFTING CELEBRATION?!
