How is it possible we are already looking at events coming in October? The Virtual Card Retreat, hosted by Stampin’ Up! is coming next week!!! I had the opportunity to see these cards in person, and I was impressed. And, I was impressed with all of the STUFF you received with the kit.

This year, celebrate World Card Making Day with others during the Virtual Card Retreat. Experience the joy of crafting when you join this two-day virtual retreat for people who love card making and community. During the retreat, you’ll build creative confidence as you make 15 beautiful, technique-focused cards and craft along with Stampin’ Up! staff using the 2026 October Card Retreat kit. We’ll even have some fun giveaways!
The Retreat kit is loaded with supplies and products to make all of the cards included, plus the left overs will make even more.
The kit includes:
- Two stamp sets,
- one coordinating die set,
- Designer Series Paper
- Two-Tone Cardstock with cut guidelines printed on the back,
- printed precut images,
- embellishments,
- envelopes,
- Basic White Cardstock,
- one sheet of gold foil paper.
- Also included is a card with a personalized link through which you can join the retreat Facebook group.

Here’s a good thing about the Virtual Card Retreats, as well as our other virtual classes – Can’t participate on the dates of October 1st and 2nd???? NO PROBLEM!!! With the personalized link included you can craft and create on your own time frame!!!
It just so happens that I will be in California next week during the Retreat, so I’ll be creating and crafting at a later date as well!! My sister and I are going to fly to Long Beach to visit a couple of cousins, and my nephew is going with us so he can “drive the old ladies around LA!”. His words, not mine. It’s a really good thing I love him for throwing me in the Old Ladies category!
Final Thoughts….
Pool Boy and I had a busy couple of days with attending the KC Chiefs’ home game and then multiple appointments in Columbia. It was fun to gather with our tailgating friends, as well as the friends we sit with during the games. There was a couple visiting from Alabama sitting between the two Lola’s ( can you believe two Lola’s sitting that close together?? We are known as the Lola bookends! ). I always like to see who’s going to sit beside me! I have new people to visit with, and they can’t get away from me cause those are their assigned seats! LOL! Really, I’m not obnoxious or anything, just enjoy chatting and seeing the experience through others’ eyes. They were heading to the 1587 Restaurant last night. That’s the restaurant owned by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in the KC area. I’m pretty sure Pool Boy will not be taking to the restaurant – just go on line to check out the prices.
And that’s ok. Pool Boy fixes a delicious steak for WAY less money. It’s all good!!!! Until next time, have a great day, find time to stamp, to create, and God Bless!
