Hello sweet friends! I just returned from ONSTAGE with Stampin’ UP! and it was a fabulous time in Atlanta!  Fellow Demonstrators from all over the United States meet and get together for a weekend of fun, friendships, dinner, drinks, snacks, and Brand NEW stamping surprises! We just have a blast, stay up late, browsing the AWESOME catalog, relishing all the gifts and surprises that SU hands out, they just spoil us!  It’s such an amazing journey that I feel SO very blessed from all the friends I have met through this wonderful company and to be able to share what we love together by attending events like this and beyond!  I return home with my heart full from all the friends I have met over the years, our time spent together, giggling and sharing our lives!  I meet new friends each time and just adore them, too!  It’s just so much fun!!!!!!

One of the BIGGEST excitements from the weekend is our Color Revamp!  What does color revamp mean?   It means that Stampin” UP! is retiring some of the Core colors in the color “families” and replacing with either NEW never before ones and adding few returning colors! YAY!

Here are the colors that are retiring: (if you need to get any of these colors, click on the color and most will take you to my Online shop, however, not all do.  Not sure why.  But, you can click my shopping “buggy” at the bottom of the post and it will take you to my shop! Remember, you can shop until you drop and don’t wait if you need these retiring re inkers especially, as truly they will sell out fast!

If there are colors that are retiring above that you LOVE and not yet in your stash of inks, these will be guaranteed until May 25, after that it will be until they sell out. While some may be disappointing to see leave us, there are some gorgeous ones to take their place!  I think you will LOVE some of the newer colors and be pleased!  Change is change and for some, it’s hard.  But, trust me, there are some ON TREND beautiful colors you may just fall in love with and while some of your past favs we are saying goodbye to, you can look forward to the brand new IN colors for 2018-2020 when I post them this week!  So stay tuned!!  You may just fall in love all over again!

Here’s a few things to know from Stampin’ Up:

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 we see changes happening, we review our 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, we decided it was time to give our color collections a makeover.

With this revamp, you’ll not only have new products to introduce and sell to your customers, (thankful for you!), but also have a new variety of shades that will inspire creativity and allow you to explore more sides of your crafting.

Here’s what the new color families look like:

Aren’t they just spectacular?!!!!  Coastal Cabana and Mint Macaron and Poppy Parade are returning!  This is making those of us that remember these gorgeous and beautiful colors very happy, happy!   Maybe they were one of your favs as well!  Looking at trends, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy are in the Neutral spectrum of colors and they are just so lush paired with some of these neutral colors!  Yummy!

Enjoy perusing these new colors and on June 1st, they will be available for purchase to all my customers!  As demonstrators one of the perks and benefits of being a demonstrator we get to order the NEW In colors on our preorder this past week.  I ordered them all and will be showcasing them in projects in the coming weeks! I can’t wait to share with you!  May 2, begins another preorder time to order most all the items in the new catalog!  YAY again!!! June 1st all customers will have the opportunity to order from our Brand spankin’ new catalog! I love this perk so much!  I just can’t sit still when the new catty arrives to pre order sooner and don’t have to wait!  🙂

While the color revamp is super exciting, most importantly at the moment are the retiring items you don’t want to miss out on!

The 2016-2018 IN COLORS will be gone soon as they are retiring!  Be sure to stock up now on your re INKERS as well!  These sell out fast!   Here are the 2016-2018 IN Colors retiring, EXCEPT for Flirty Flamingo!  It will be a part of our Core Colors and will happily get to stay permanently for a while!  For those of you Flirty Flamingo lovers out there, you’re can do the happy dance!  🙂
