Change is Good, Let's Embrace It -- Exciting News

Stampin' Up! has just announced some major changes to our color line. They are calling it "Color Renovation" and are introducing New Color Collections. These changes will take effect on July 1, 2010. While we may be losing some of your favorite colors, wait till you see the brand new ones coming in to replace them. They are even bringing back some of our customers' favorites from past "In Colors". I'm exciting about the changes, and hope you will be too. I confirmed this afternoon with Stampin' Up! that it is OK to release this information to my customers and blog followers.

I think that it is wonderful that Stampin' Up! is keeping up with the latest color ideas for us.

I will first list the colors that will be retiring as of June 30, 2010. Remember this retirement will impact stamp pads, refills, card stock, DSP, markers, ribbons, etc. --- anything that uses this color:

Any of the main colors in our current catalog, not listed above as retiring will be part of the CORE colors for 2010-2011 catalog.

Did you have a favorite "In-Color" from years passed? Here are the ones returning and becoming part of our CORE colors, have my fingers crossed that your favorite is on the list to be coming back as of July, 1, 2010.

River Rock
Baja Breeze
Wild Wasabi
Riding Hood Red
Tangerine Tango
Pink Pirouette

Then they will be keeping the following "In Colors" from this year and they will be part of our CORE colors too. The ones staying are: (I'm so excited, these are my favorites)

Soft Suede
Rich Razzelberry
Melon Mambo

THEN we are adding in some BRAND new colors for our CORE colors. Here they are:

Daffodil Delight
Marina Mist
Cherry Cobbler
Cajun Craze
Early Espresso

This is going to make receiving the new 2010-2011 catalog & idea book in June even more exciting. Think of all the new products they are going to have in store for us. I can't wait!!!

As more information becomes available I will post it here. If you have items that are being retired that you absolutely love, then I would highly recommend placing an order soon for them before they are no longer available.

Think of all the fun we are going to have playing with the new colors. We are going to see some amazing combinations and creations in the months ahead.

If you have any questions, please contact me OR if you would like to place an order you may do so thru my Stampin' Up! website by clicking HERE.
