Ship Ship Hooray! It's Free Shipping on the Virtual Card Retreat kit and everything else

Just in time to do a little bit of last minute crafting and shopping and to sign up for the Virtual Card Retreat!


There's no shipping fees for standard shipping with a $75 order!  

It completely blows my mind that Stampin' Up! is giving us free shipping the same day that the Virtual Card Retreat sign-up starts!  What a spectacular savings!  

This virtual retreat will be held January 22nd & 23rd but your kit will ship now so you wrap it up and put it under the tree.  I won't tell if you gift it to yourself!  


During this two-day virtual event, you’ll create 15 fabulous cards, craft with a community that loves card making, learn new techniques, and interact on a personal level with fellow crafters and Stampin’ Up! staff.  By purchasing the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat kit (170023), you’ll get access to an exclusive Facebook group where the live event will be held. This kit is $165 USD and will be available for order starting December 10!  Recordings will be available for replay.  


Want to see the projects?  Warning:  You'll see all 15 projects!  Click here.

Additional supplies needed that you may already have.  See the list here.


When you get free shipping with a $75 order, you are eligible for 2 more items!  
The product of the month for $5 and MY free Thank You kit!








This kit is my Thank You for any order over $50.  You'll get pre-cut papers, die-cuts, ribbon, embellishments, card bases and envelopes.
