Stampin’ Up! is updating its Color Collections to stay on trend in the world of color! There is also a NEW Ink Pad design as the old ink pad mold was expiring. Here is what Stampin’ Up! has to say:

“The Colors are Evolving. The spice of life is variety, and that’s especially true in the world of color. Stampin’ Up! makes a point to keep an eye on color trends across different markets and industries. When we see changes happening, we review our color spectrum to ensure that we remain consistently on top of the trends. This brings us to the 2018 Color Revamp!

“In order to keep bringing you the most current and on trend colors, we decided it was time to give our color collections a makeover.

“With this revamp, you’ll have a new variety of shades that will inspire creativity and allow you to explore more sides of your crafting.”
