HUGE Color Renovation

I am excited to share some exciting news from Stampin' Up! with you! Stampin' Up! is doing a color renovation. Color is such a huge part of what Stampin' Up! is and they want to stay current with current trends and colors. What does this mean exactly? It's time to bid some of our current colors a fond farewell in July when the new Idea Book and Catalog comes out. This also means that there will be new color collections, new colors, and also we get to welcome back some of our retired in colors.

Let's start with the Retiring Colors. Here is a list of all the colors that will be no longer available after June 30th. I encourage you to stock up on any of your favorites before they are gone.

In case you can't tell from the flier above the retiring colors are :
Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Pale Plum, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac, Lavender Lace, Almost Amethyst, Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue, Taken with Teal, Glorious Green, Handsome Hunter, Sage Shadow, Mellow Moss, Green Galore, Gable Green, Barely Banana, Yoyo Yellow, Summer Sun, Apricot Appeal, Only Orange, Really Rust , Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa,Going Gray.

In 2013 the 2010-2011 In colors will retire making way for another 5 new colors. Make sense? It will be more clear when the program actually starts in July.

Starter Kit Bundles:
There will also be a started kit offered for new stampers that will combine a few colors from each collection to get you started. What about all the markers, water color crayons, pastels etc that you bought in color families? Well don't fret my friends! Stampin' Up! has done a great job putting together kits for you of just the new and returning in colors so that you can add to your existing color collections without having to repurchase all of the colors you already own. With all of these color renovations Stampin' Up! has also created a wonderful new color coach to go along with it.
