March 6, 2023March 3, 2023Leave a comment

The Latest and Greatest News from the Stampin’ Up! home office is that a Color Refresh is planned with the introduction of the new annual catalog on May 2nd. We will know towards the end of March just exactly what colors are retiring and what the new colors are when the digital catalog is released to demonstrators. It’s a great perk for being on my Super Awesome Stampers team to receive early access to all catalogs!

Here is the marketing info SU provided:

We’re all about creativity and sharing what we love. And that means providing a compelling selection of high-quality craft supplies in coordinating colors and designs. We’re always working to not only meet trends but set them. That means evaluating and even refreshing our current products—and this year we’re refreshing our complete color collection!

You’ll find some new friends and returning favorites among our Brights, Neutrals, Regals, and Subtles. And you won’t want to miss our new 2023–2025 In Colors. We hope you’re as excited as we are to start crafting with these fresh new colors!

I’ll let you know as soon as I know what is retiring. Please be advised that all products pertaining to the color refresh are will supplies last. So if you are missing a refill ink bottle or what to stock up on your favorite colored cardstock, do that now! Here is a link that will zoom you to my online click here to experience the zoomies

Looking forward to some fresh color!
