A Colour Renovation!
April 09, 2010
Breaking news from Stampin' Up!
A colour renovation is on its way. That's right - our colour families are having a freshen up, a facelift, a makeover.
It is always nice to go through the wardrobe and shake everything out, look at it with fresh eyes, keep some, make some space and then do a bit of updating and that is what Stampin' Up will be doing here in Australia in September. Here is what the new fresh colour collections will look like in September 2010.
That's right - 4 colour collections: Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles - each with 10 colours. You'll see 25 of our current range, 10 returning in colours (ooh some gorgeous ones too!) and 5 brand new colours. Kraft is getting a new name - Crumb Cake.
In September 2010 we'll be getting 5 new In Colours and these will be with us for 2 years - a great idea I think. In September 2011 we'll get 5 more new In Colours (once again for 2 years.)
Now making space in the wardrobe does mean we'll be saying farewell to some colours at the end of August 2010. Some we may not miss much at all, some we might be sorry to see on the list. We've got plenty of time here in Australia to stock up on reinkers and cardstock in any favourites. Keep the list in mind in the coming months.
Here's the colours we'll say a fond farewell to at the end of August 2010.
I think I'll miss Sage Shadow and Close To Cocoa so will be having a good play with those colours in the next few months, but there are lots of yummy colours in the new collections that will keep us all busy in our craft rooms when September rolls around and the changes take effect.
Big news isn't it! Makeovers are always exciting. Have a lovely weekend.
Cheers, Sue
I love wild wasabi!! Yay! But they haven't returned Purely Pomegranate! Boo!! (but cherry cobbler looks nice)
Here's my 2 cents worth - not enough variety in greens or (mauvey purple - all the purples are darkish), no really bold yellow (need to keep yoyo yellow), lots and lots of reds and pinks (yay!), and why didn't they give "not quite navy" a more appropriate name? Like "not at all like navy"?
And I agree, I'll miss close to cocoa, as well as ballet blue, and creamy caramel, and lavender lace.

Yay...Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette are staying! You've made my day Sue with this news!!! But I'm disappointed at losing Sage Shadow & Mellow Moss ...much prefer them to Wild Wasabi. And what a strange name for Kraft!!!
