Hi Everyone! I am back from OnStage and it was a lot of fun! The best
part is seeing what is coming and wow, a lot is coming! We are getting a
complete color refresh! Stampin' Up! hasn't done a color refresh in a
while and it's really needed from time to time to keep up with current
trends and stay up to date. Along with the color refresh we are getting
a new style of ink pad as well! The new ink pads are less likely to
come apart. I am sure you have had that happen, where the lid separates
from the pad and then you get all inky trying to get it back together!
The new style improves this, so less inky fingers! The new pads are
also stackable, and close tighter at the sides for longer lasting
juiciness. They have also added a de-foamer to the pad, so that when
you are inking up a large solid image, you wont get bubbles on the
surface of the stamp and your image will be stamped as a solid image. One thing I have learned about retiring colors is that the retiring ink refills go really fast!! They will sell out in just days and weeks and I don't think they will last until next month, so if you would like to get an extra reinker in the colors you have, you should do it fast! Here is a list of the colors that are retiring...
Always Artichoke
Chocolate Chip
Elegant Eggplant
Island Indigo
Marina Mist
Pink Pirouette
Perfect Plumb
Rose Red
Soft Sky
Tangerine Tango
Tempting Turqouise
Wild Wasabi
Wisteria Wonder
I am super sad to see Island Indigo go. I love that one, I will get some refills and paper for that one. Does anyone remember not quite navy? Loved that, Island Indigo was my substitute for that one, now I am not sure what will take it's place. Hmmm?
Some older In-Colors are going to make a comeback as well, so you may already have some of the new colors! Poppy Parade, Blackberry Bliss, Coastal Cabana, Mossy Meadow Flirty Flamingo and Mint Macaron are all coming back, and I have all but Blackberry Bliss, so I'm happy about that! I loved Poppy Parade and Mossy Meadow.
The new colors that are coming to color families are all great and I am sure you are going to love the new color revamp. The names of the families stays the same, Neutrals, Brights. Subtles and Regals. Basic Black, white and vanilla are being taken out of the Neutrals family and are just called "Basics" which freed up some space for 3 more 'Neutrals' in that family, so now we have 43 core colors and 10 InColors.
Here are some sneak peeks. I did not do a good job taking photos. I was busy chatting and looking at swaps and just forgot to take photos as I was looking at everything.
This is a new card kit, SO PRETTY!!
Calligraphy kit! with practice cards for pretty lettering on our envelopes and cards and scrapbook pages.

Hi Everyone! You have probably heard the news that the new Annual Catalog is going to have a huge Color Revamp! It is and it is a fun time to see what's coming, but also a bit scary to see what's going! If your like me you have your 'go to' colors and one of mine was Island Indigo. You maybe didn't see me use it much on cards, but I use it all the time when I paint (I paint with inks a lot, why go buy watercolors when I have reinkers sitting around?) and I will totally miss Island Indigo! I just bought a few refills just to make sure I get them before they are all gone! By the way, its a really good idea to grab any papers and inks you want while you still can! They go FAST!! It is amazing to me how fast they sell out. Do not wait!
Team Members, you will be getting these charts in the mail along with a sampler of all the new papers.
