Good Morning Happy Stamper!

We are so glad you decided to join us today!

Each year Stampin' Up! introduces a collection of on trend colors, called In-Colors, that will compliment the 40 Core Colors they carry in their standard collection.  These colors are good for 2 years.  They introduce them in odd/even year collections so there are actually 10 colors, the 5 that carried over from last year, and the new one from this year.  These colors are AMAZING on their own! but they will also enhance the favorite colors you have come to know and love from Stampin' Up!

The fun part about these colors is that they're offered in ink, paper, markers, and some pretty awesome (exclusive!) embellishments.

The 2014-2016 In-Colors are:

Blackberry Bliss

Hello Honey

Lost Lagoon

Mossy Meadow

Tangelo Twist

AREN'T THEY AWESOME!!!??  I am going to be SO sorry to see these go next October with the new catalog.  I am not sure they can top these !!  

The 2015-2017 In-Colors are:

Cucumber Crush

Delightful Dijon

Mint Macaron

Tip Top Taupe

Watermelon Wonder

AREN'T THESE AWESOME TOO?!!?!   

How..just HOW are they going to top these?!

If you could choose the 2016-2018 In-Colors......

What would you pick?

CASE the Catalog

Are you looking for some inspiration as you stamp, need a new layout or a color combo? Then look no further than our Idea Book or Holiday Catalog. Both are just full of new ideas ready to be CASE'd and of course shared with others. Today our design team is doing just that as they share some cards that they CASE'd from one of the catalogs. After you take a look at their cards maybe you will be INKspired to try a version of your own.

Be sure and join us Monday for our Card Sketch. Thanks and have a great weekend!
