What happens during a Stamping Cross Country event?

If you've never joined us for a Stamping Cross Country event, you might be wondering what actually happens during one.

Well, this Fall, we're trying something a little different!

Instead of packing all the fun into one weekend, we're spreading it out over 10 days, giving you more time to stamp, play, learn, and connect with other crafters.

Here's a peek at what's happening:

🍂 September 25

The private Stamping Cross Country Facebook group opens and the fun begins! Your tutorials and challenges will already be waiting in your email, so you'll be ready to jump right in.

🔍 Tuesday, September 29

Mystery Stamping! Grab some supplies, follow the clues, and see what you create.

🎉 Thursday, October 1

It's Bingo time! And yes, there will be prizes!

✂️ Friday, October 2

We officially kick off our main crafting weekend with our welcome and live project demonstrations.

❤️ Saturday, October 3

More live demonstrations, Zoom Craft & Chat, and our Grand Prize drawings!

And it's also World Card Making Day, which seems like a pretty perfect day to spend crafting together.

🔥 Sunday, October 4

We wrap up our week with Hot Foil Sunday, an added bonus for our Fall Stamping Cross Country participants.

And here's one of the things I love most about Stamping Cross Country: you don't have to be available for everything live.

Life happens. We get it!

Join us when you can, watch the replays when it works for you, and come back to the tutorials whenever you're ready to create. You'll be able to enjoy the digital content at your own pace.

So whether you join us for everything, pop in for your favorite activities, or spend a quiet afternoon later catching up at your craft table, there's no wrong way to experience Stamping Cross Country.

It's a whole lot of crafting, friendship, and fun spread throughout the week—and we'd love to have you be part of it!

Summer 2026 Stamping Cross Country 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 💕✨

These classes will feature current and past kits from Stampin' Up!
