We were due for a refresh on our color line to stay up to date and I think they really knocked it out of the park! These changes don’t take place until June 1st but I wanted you to have all the information as soon as possible as retiring inks, refills and papers will get snatched up quick.
We will have five new In Colors, like every year. But they also totally shook up all the color lines! We have to say goodbye to thirteen core colors and the five 2016-2018 In Colors. But we get sixteen new colors! Check out the charts:

NEW COLOR COLLECTIONS
So pretty, right?!! I’m super exciting to announce these new colors. The neutrals has some color splashed in, which is so fun. The other color family colors really blend so well together so you can feel great about getting an entire color family. Which color family are you drawn to? I feel like it depends on my mood and what time of year it is, but I still think I’m mostly drawn to the Subtles. They also added an additional category, Basics, which is just Basic Black, Whisper White and Very Vanilla.
But wait, there’s more! The ink pads also have a brand new design and improved ink! I’ll be getting my new In Color pack of ink pads next week, so I’ll show them to you. They are easier and more intuitive to open, they stack (!!) and now include an extra label for the interior so it’s easy to see what color you are using. The ink has an anti-foaming agent added to the pads and the new reinkers so that the surface of the ink pads have no bubbles for optimal ink coverage. You can still use the old reinkers on the new pads and vice-versa, with the exception of the Basic Gray Archival ink pad…
Which brings me to my sad news. Basic Black and Basic Gray Archival inks are retiring. What?!! My go-to black is going away. (sad face) First my favorite adhesive, Fast Fuse, and now my favorite ink. I’ll be ok. Our black ink options will be Memento, which is a fast drying black ink that we have been using with the Stampin’ Blends (alcohol based markers). This will be the main go-to black ink. They are also bringing back StazOn ink, a fast drying waterfast permanent ink that can be used for watercoloring or stamping on non-porous items such as the window sheets or even wood. The StazOn does need a special different cleaner to clean off your stamps, as it is so permanent. So you see, we are not out of options and I’ll recover. But I did add another Basic Black reinker to my recent retiring order! See! Get the items you want before they’re gone!
If you want to get any of the retiring colors, you have to hurry because they are only while supplies last!
