New In Colors? Yes, Please!

I've just returned home from a 4-day trip to North Carolina, where I was fortunate to attend Stampin' UP!'s annual OnStage convention. This fun event lets me meet up with about 2500 stampers from around the world (although most come from the US and Canada, as there are simultaneous OnStage events in Europe and the South Pacific). And I had a blast!

One of the highlights is always getting to see the upcoming new catalog prior to its release. And this OnStage was no exception. I can't wait to show you products that are coming.

We also get to see the new In Colors! Every year Stampin' UP! introduces 5 new colors that will be available for two years, and then they retire. So this year we got to see these fabulous colors: Strawberry Slush (actually a returning favorite from several years ago), Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Secret Sea and Darling Duckling.

Want to see a sneak peek? Look:

This card shows off all but one of the new In Colors. I'm also previewing a new die set, Impressions Abloom. AND some new embellishments - 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls.

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock and cut an oval in the front (there are two oval dies in the set). I also cut this tiny white stitched border (true confessions - I didn't realize one of the dies cuts both the inside and outside of the oval, leaving this tiny border).

I then backed the opening with the new Cloud Cover cardstock. This is such a pretty light blue-gray!

And then I cut the flowers. These dies are sensational! They not only cut the flower image, but also (with an insert inside the die) emboss it with the lines you see here. I cut flowers using Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling. And the leaves are Granny Apple Green.

I stamped the greeting (from Simply Said) in Night of Navy because I don't yet have Secret Sea ink (coming this week!). And added some of the flat pearls. I love the look!
