This card design is a perfect example of how one great stamp set can work for any birthday or celebration. The bold star imagery and simple layers create lots of visual impact, while the sentiment can easily be swapped to suit birthdays, congratulations, thank yous, or just-because moments. The real magic is how flexible the design is. Simply change up the cardstock, ink colours, or embellishments to match the occasion or the recipient, making this a go-to layout you can use again and again.

If the post-holiday season has you craving a little creative me-time, Stampin’ Up!’s Virtual Card Retreat might be just the thing.

This two-day online retreat on January 22–23, 2026 lets you craft along from home using a beautiful all-inclusive kit. There is no prep and no guesswork. Just stamping, relaxing, and enjoying the process.  And yes everything is recorded!!

You will create 15 gorgeous all-occasion cards, learn new techniques, and connect with fellow paper crafters inside a private Facebook group. Think of it as a cozy creative getaway you can enjoy from home.

There is no separate registration. Simply purchase the retreat kit and you will automatically receive access to the private Facebook group where everything will stream live. Kits are limited, so if this feels like a yes, do not wait too long.

Normally I go LIVE Fridays at 3 PM Eastern with a new project.
