Stampin’ Up!’s spectrum of colors is wonderful. Did you know that each year Stampin’ Up! introduces 5 new colors to their spectrum? These are called “In-Colors” as they try to represent trending colors like the Pantone Colors. These “In-Colors” are available for two years at a time so each time they introduce 5 new colors they need to say good-bye to 5 colors. These colors may or may not turn up again when Stampin’ Up! does a color revamp to their spectrum. When they did a major color overhaul with this current catalog a number of favorite “In-Colors” returned include Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade and Mossy Meadow.
This year we have to say good-bye to one of my favorite colors: Berry Burst. I will admit that I am going to be sad to see that one go. The other colors that will be leaving are Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist. Which color will you be sad to see go?
If you really love any of these colors I would recommend purchasing them now. Get the ink pad, the cardstock and most importantly, the ink refill! When Stampin’ Up! releases the 2019 Retiring List these “In-Color” ink refills are some of the first things to go.
Whenever you purchase an ink pad I would highly recommend purchasing the coordinating ink refill. That way you will always have it on hand. You’d hate to have your ink pad run dry if you’re in the middle of a project! Believe me, there’s nothing worse!
I’m very curious to see what the 5 new 2019-2021 In-Colors are going to be. The 2019 Pantone color of the year is called Living Coral but Stampin’ Up! already has Calypso Coral and the colors look fairly close. Hmm…
I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Although….the wait won’t be too long. I just a few weeks I am heading to Minneapolis for a Stampin’ Up! On Stage gathering. While there I will get a copy of the upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, get to play with some new products and yes….see what the new 5 “In-Colors” will be!
What I think is kind of fun is to get a catalog in the mail and browse through it and look at the trending colors in it and see how close Stampin’ Up! came with their choices of the new “In-Colors”. I have to say that they usually do a pretty good job with their choices. Their job is hard though. Not only do they want to pick trending colors but they need to choose colors that coordinate with the rest of the Stampin’ Up! color palette. Whew! I’m glad it’s not my job!
So as we say good-bye to Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide, which one will you be sad to see go. I’ve already told you that I will definitely miss Berry burst and I think Tranquil Tide is pretty close behind it. Leave a comment and let me know which one of these five colors is your favorite.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping.
