Stampin Up On Stage Las Vegas

Hi Stampers,

Two of my sisters and I just returned from Las Vegas after attending Stampin Up's OnStage event. We had such a great time and so many changes with Stampin Up. So many beautiful new items coming out in the new catalog June 1st. We got to play with some of the new products!  I can now post the picture of the new catalog. Just let me say, it is heavenly!! 

Today's post will be long but so many changes as I said.

THE COLORS ARE EVOLVING!

The spice of life is variety, and that’s especially true in the world of color. Stampin’ Up! makes a point to keep an eye on color trends across different markets and industries. When Stampin Up  sees changes happening, they review their color spectrum to ensure that we remain consistently on top of the trends. This brings us to the 2018 Color Revamp!

In order to keep bringing you the most current and on trend colors, Stampin Up decided it was time to give our color collections a makeover.

THE DETAILS

There are still four color collections, each with ten colors. There is also a new color group called Basics.

In order to keep their color collections to exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors, Stampin Up moved Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Whisper White out of the Neutrals collection. They have also moved a few colors into the Neutrals collection, making it more exciting and colorful!

Some additional colors have changed collections as well—you’ll notice this as you look through the new collections below. You can refer to the old and new color charts in the 2018-2019 catalog. These changes were based on needing to maintain color balance in our updated collections. For example, Poppy Parade is now the brightest red so it is part of the Brights collection.

IN COLORS

There are no changes to the In Color program. Every two years Stampin Up will continue to introduce five new In Colors that will be available for the ensuing two years. They  also have previous In Colors that are returning and joining our core colors:

• Mossy Meadow
• Poppy Parade
• Flirty Flamingo
• Coastal Cabana
• Mint Macaron
• Blackberry Bliss

In addition to new colors, Stampin Up  also redesigned their ink pads. The case is a new, more intuitive design and they have  improved the formula of the ink, as well!
