Create Fall 2026 Q&A Recap: Heritage, Home & Hope

Hello, crafters!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our special Create Fall 2026 Q&A yesterday. We loved spending time with you, answering your thoughtful questions and sharing more about what makes this year's Create event so meaningful. Whether you've already reserved your seat or you're still considering joining us, we hope today's conversation gave you a closer look at what makes Create unlike any other crafting event. Below is the video in case you missed it!

More Than a Crafting Event

As we shared during the livestream, Create has always been about more than beautiful paper, intricate dies and inspiring techniques. Since the very first event in 2015, Create has grown into a place where creativity and community come together in remarkable ways. One of our favorite sayings perfectly captures the experience: "You come for the paper, you stay for the people."

Over the years, thousands of crafters from around the world have gathered together to learn, laugh, encourage one another and form lifelong friendships. Whether you're attending for the first time or returning for your eighteenth event, you'll be welcomed into a community that feels like home!

Exploring Heritage, Home & Hope

This year's themes, Heritage, Home and Hope are deeply personal. Following last year's themes of Generosity, Kindness and Gratitude and this spring's Grace, Courage and Love, Create Fall 2026 brings those ideas together into an experience that celebrates where we've come from, where we are today and where we're going.

Throughout the weekend, you'll explore meaningful projects inspired by family traditions, treasured memories, personal reflection and hopeful new beginnings. Every class, every project and every design has been thoughtfully created around these themes to make this our most heartfelt Create yet!

Meet Aletha

One of the highlights of this year's event is the beautiful Aletha Collection, named in honor of someone very special. Inspired by Aletha's warmth, grace and joyful spirit, this stunning blue-and-white collection reflects the heart of this year's event and beautifully embodies the themes of Heritage, Home and Hope. You'll be hearing much more about Aletha as we get closer to November, and we can't wait to share her story with you!

Incredible Projects and Even More Creativity

This year's Create box is our most exciting one yet! You'll receive more than 1,200 pieces with an incredible value of over $1,000 in tools and materials alone. From luxurious papers and cardstock to specialty embellishments, dimensional dies and exclusive crafting supplies, you'll have everything you need for an unforgettable weekend of creativity.

During the event, we will teach nine brand-new classes featuring projects like:

Beautiful dimensional flowers
Paper vessels
Elegant pop-up cards
Cameo cards
Meaningful journals
Handmade stationery and envelopes
Creative letter folding techniques
Holiday-inspired projects and so much more

Even better, the techniques you'll learn can be used long after Create is over, giving you endless inspiration for the supplies already in your craft room.

Your Create Experience Starts Before November

One of the questions we received was about preparing for the event and don't worry, we've got you covered! Your Create box will begin shipping in October, giving you plenty of time to prepare before our November event. Along with your supplies, you'll receive access to our step-by-step preparation videos that guide you through everything you'll need before class begins.

Many attendees say this preparation makes the live classes even more enjoyable because all of the cutting, organizing and adhesive placement has already been completed.

A Community That Welcomes Everyone

If you're feeling a little nervous about attending your first Create, you're not alone. We talked about how our Virtual Craft Room has become one of the most beloved parts of the event. It's where friendships are formed, ideas are shared and crafters from around the world connect throughout the weekend.

This year, we're making it even easier for newcomers with community-building activities, icebreakers and opportunities to meet fellow attendees before classes even begin. Whether you're outgoing or a little shy, you'll quickly discover that everyone is excited to welcome you!

We Can't Wait to Create Together

Create Fall 2026 is shaping up to be our most meaningful event yet. From heartfelt storytelling and beautiful projects to unforgettable friendships and inspiring creativity, Heritage, Home and Hope will be woven into every moment.

If today's Q&A reminded us of anything, it's that Create isn't just an event, it's an experience that stays with you long after the final class ends.

We can't wait to welcome you November 13–15 for three unforgettable days of creativity, connection and community. We'll continue sharing sneak peeks, project reveals and behind-the-scenes updates over the coming weeks, so stay tuned. The best is still to come!

Bye for now,

Anna
