SU Colour Revamp

Stampin' Up! likes to make a point of regularly reviewing their colour range to ensure that they remain consistently on top of colour trends.  Our current core colours have been around for 5 years so now is the time for a Colour Revamp!

How does the Colour Revamp work?

There are still 4 colour collections each with 10 colours.  There is also a new colour group called Basics.  In order to keep our colour collection to exclusive Stampin' Up! colours, Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Whisper White will be moved to the Neutrals collection.  There are a few other colours which have also moved to into the Neutrals collections.

Some additional colours have changed collections too.  These changes are based on needing to maintain colour balance in our updated collections  For example Poppy Parade is now the brightest red so it is part of the Brights collection and Real Red has moved into the Regals collection.

In Colors

There are no changes to the In Color programme and every two years 5 new in Colors will be introduced and available for two years. There will also be previous In Colors returning and joining our core colours.  Welcome back: Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Mint Macaron and Blackberry Bliss.

So which colours are leaving?

Note: Flirty Flamingo is leaving as an In Color but returning as a core colour in the Brights collection.

If any of these colours that are retiring are a favourite, stock up on cardstock, accessories and ink refills now, before they are all gone!

In addition to the new colour changes, the inkpad case style has been updated with a fresh new look. The new cases will be easier to open, more air-tight and stackable!  

All inkpads ordered after 1st June will be in the new style.

SU Last Chance Products

A New Annual Catalogue is not far away and it looks amazing with lots of fabulous new products.  So to make way for the new we have to say goodbye to some old favourites from the current Annual Catalogue and the Occasions Catalogue.

Retiring Stamps will be guaranteed availability until 7 May but everything else is only available while stock lasts.

**Subject to inventory levels, discounts on selected products maybe introduced on or after 8 May.**

An easy way to view what is retiring is in the Online Store.  Or you can download and print the Annual Catalogue Retiring here and the Occasions Catalogue Retiring items here.

Note: You will notice that a lot of inkpads and colours are on the Retiring List, that is because we are having a Colour Revamp with the new Catalogue, plus the new style inkpad cases are changing.  The new cases are more airtight, easier to open and are stackable!

If you do not want to place an order online, just drop me an email and I can place the order for you.
