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!

Creative Play - February 2024

 

I am so excited for this event. It combines two of my absolute favorites, Creativity and Bunco.

To register click here.

February 4, 2024, 1:30pm

we will be meeting at

TBT Real Estate, Lake Jackson, TX

 

Registration DEADLINE: January 31, 2024

We will be creating cards in-between rounds of Bunco. If you don't know how to either one or both, we'll teach you. Both are easy and fun!

Not everyone will make the same project, it all depends on which table you land at the end of a round. The price covers the cost of the projects, not to play, the game is just something we do to add to the fun!

Here is one of the projects that will be offered that afternoon.

 

 

 

 

Birthday Cards at Duckie & the Grackle Gallery

I recently hosted a Birthday Card Class at the Duckie & the Grackle Gallery, where we created unique and personalized birthday cards that are sure to put a smile on anyone's face.

After three years of hosting events in my studio or on my patio, it was exciting to step "out in the wild" and host an event at the Duckie & the Grackle Gallery. The gallery's artistic ambiance provided the perfect setting to inspire our creativity and let our imaginations run wild.

Three lovely people attended the event and had a blast designing their own birthday cards. We used a variety of materials, to create cards that reflected each person's unique style and personality. The result? Beautiful, one-of-a-kind cards that will be cherished by their recipients.

But this is just the beginning! I'm already planning my next crafty event, and you won't want to miss it. Check out my Facebook page, Marion Creates, to stay up-to-date on the latest events and workshops. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting, you'll find something to inspire your creativity.

The Birthday Card Class at the Duckie & the Grackle Gallery was a fantastic experience that brought people together, sparked our imaginations, and resulted in beautiful creations. Join us at the next event and let your creativity soar!

Diane made these cards

Kits, Kits & More Kits....

 Do you ever just want to be crafty but don't know where to start. Maybe you're just starting out, or maybe you're just too tired to think about a new idea to create.

Kits are an easy way to be crafty with a variety of projects, styles & designs to choose from. Each kit offers simple steps, and beautiful designs.

You will have exactly what you need in the right amount with very little left over. So you don't have to worry about storing a lot of extra supplies.

You can choose kits that include stamp sets, or no stamping at all. All pieces are die cut and ready for stamping or assembly. The most you might need are scissors and a clear block.

And if you feel extra creative you can change the intended design of the kit and create different projects.

BUNDLE

Did you know that Bundles of stamps and punches or dies are available at a 10% discount? Here's an important tip! If you love the coordination of stamps and tools then don't miss saving 10%, because all bundles in the current Mini catalogs will retire and take the 10% savings with them. Some of the stamps, dies, and punches will still be available in future catalogs, but not as bundles, so the 10% savings ends. Bundles, because they include more than stamps are only available while supplies last, so you won't want to wait to get your bundles ordered. SPECIAL NOTE: If the stamps and/or the dies have special pricing, it may be a better deal to purchase them separately than as a bundle.

TIPS: The Gilded Leafing is packed tightly in the container and is super light so it can "float" around easily. Open the container carefully and consider storing the leafing in a larger storage container with a lid. This makes the leafing easier to use and also easier to return excess leafing once done.
