Join thousands of paper crafters from around the world for our Creativate Online Stamping Retreats—a fun, inspiring, and technique-packed virtual cardmaking event you can attend right from home. Each quarter, the Creativate Team hosts a full day of online stamping classes, cardmaking tutorials, fun fold techniques, and creative challenges designed to help you grow your skills and spark new ideas. Whether you’re a beginner cardmaker, a seasoned Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, or someone who simply loves learning new paper crafting techniques, our virtual craft retreat gives you live instruction, downloadable PDF tutorials, project videos, replays, and an amazing community of stampers. If you’ve ever searched for an online stamping retreat, a virtual cardmaking workshop, or a creative weekend you can enjoy from home, this is the event everyone talks about—and we’d love to have you join us!
Hear what Trish L says: The retreats are all planned so well. They are getting better and easier to navigate each time. All of the ladies are incredibly talented, and it is always exciting to see what they will come up with next. Sharon is always an inspiration and easy to follow, with instructions for making the most fabulous cards. I’ve followed her lead in making cards for over 12 years. Love the retreats and hope they continue!
Everyone who registers during Early Bird Weekend will receive a special gift from the Creativate Team—our way of saying thank you for joining us!

Creativate Team and Retreat information
Since launching in April 2020, the Creativate Online Stamping Retreat has become the largest and most-loved virtual cardmaking retreat in the world—bringing together more than 2,000 crafters every quarter. What started as a way to learn, stamp, and connect from home has grown into a global creative community where paper crafters enjoy live online classes, cardmaking tutorials, fun fold ideas, and virtual fellowship with stampers everywhere. Our focus has always been simple: keep the retreat affordable, provide outstanding instruction, and help you use the stamping supplies you already have.

Creativate Online Stamp Retreat FAQs
What Stamps & Supplies Will I Need?
Our projects are designed to work with supplies you already have. Most can be created using basic stamps, ink, and paper. If you prefer to use what we’ll be featuring, a supply list will be published two weeks before the retreat, giving you time to order.
What Are Pre-Retreat Challenges?
We kick off the fun early with four optional stamping challenges designed to spark creativity and get you in the crafting spirit. Each challenge comes with tutorials for extra inspiration.
What If I’m Not Available on the Retreat Dates?
No problem. All presentations are recorded, allowing you to watch the replays at your convenience. Craft at your own pace and revisit tutorials anytime.
Will I Be Stamping Along With You?
Since everyone stamps at a different pace, the retreat is designed for flexibility. Tutorials will be available before the event, so you can gather supplies and craft when it works for you. You’ll have plenty of projects to keep you inspired long after the retreat ends.
Can Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Attend?
Absolutely. Demonstrators are welcome to join, along with their teams, customers, and friends. Since we don’t require product purchases, demonstrators can order through their accounts and enjoy their discounts.
Can I Join From Outside the US?
Yes. Since this is a virtual retreat on YouTube and no physical products are shipped, crafters worldwide can participate and be inspired.
