More updated info

Hey Stampers,

I learned some more information for you. First, there will be 5 instead of 6 "In Colors" introduced in the new catalog and they will stay for TWO years instead of one. They will have 5 more new "In Colors" introduced next year as well and they will stay around for TWO years also. So, the "In Colors" will overlap making it so there will be TEN "In Colors" available at one time (starting next year with the introduction of the second set of "In Colors" of course!) This makes me very happy to get to have them for TWO years.

Now that a week has gone by since this news broke, I really have to say that I'm so very excited for the change. Summer can't come fast enough for me! I went through all of my current colors and decided that there are only 3 or 4 out of the 31 that I'm going to stock up a little on. I really won't miss the other 27 or 28 that are going away. In fact, I'm waiting until June before I decide to stock up on anything because I want to see if any of the "In Colors" will be close to those 3 or 4 that I like.

There will be a tool called a "Color Coach" that I want to invest in. Let me try to describe it to you. Basically there are a bunch of sample cards of the colors (kind of like going to get the paint sample cards at the hardware store) and on the back of each card it gives you a few ideas of which colors to combine together to make stunning projects. They come on a ring that you can remove so you can lay them out next to each other and see what appeals to you. I'm not sure how much the color coach will cost yet, but I will be getting one!

I will post more info as I learn it! Keep Stampin'!

Stampin' Up! Color Renovation

On Tuesday, April 6, Stampin' Up! announced to Demonstrators that there will be a change in the Color Line with the new Catalog and Idea Book this July. There will be 4 new "Color Collections" instead of the 4 Color Families and Neutral family that they have currently. There will also be 6 "In Colors" announced at that time. Every 3 to 5 years, Stampin' Up! Refreshes their color line to be up-to-date with the most current popular colors!

At first I was shocked and a little devastated to learn that 31 colors (all but 1 from the "Bold Brights" family) will be retiring. But, after studying the new colors, I am starting to fall in love with them! I will try to send a flyer about them. I was jumping up and down when I found out that Baja Breeze (my all time favorite) was returning and that one of this year's "In Colors," Rich Razzleberry was staying! Love those two colors.

Because so many colors are retiring, I wanted to let you know right away so that you have almost 3 months to stock up on them before they are gone. If you already have a collection of the retiring colors, you will still be able to use them because they will coordinate nicely with the new colors. For myself, there are several retiring colors that I, will need to stock up on before I tearfully say goodbye to them!

I am very excited and can't wait to get my hands on the new colors! I will keep you updated as I receive further announcements from Stampin' Up! And, I will try to let you know if supplies become low on the retiring color products.

About Me

My photo
I definitely have an artistic side and love to express my self through music, and paper crafting. I have been a musician since I was a toddler when I first displayed a love of singing and playing the piano. I have taught Piano Lessons for over 20 years now and have enjoyed all of my students over the years. I just signed up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in March of this year (2009) and have loved every minute of it. I hope to be a demonstrator for a long time so I can share ideas with you, my friends!
