Hi all!
I’m hoping to hear that you are receiving your new annual catalogs next week!
There are 16 New Colors (and returning) colors available on May 2nd.  It’s a LOT so do you NEED all 16?
That’s what was on my mind as I pondered the new catalog launch, how my customers might be thinking the same thing but not sure what existing ink pads might look like with the new cardstock and accessories.

BY THE WAY,   YES I’m doing a paper share for the new catalog!
However, I won’t be able to offer the ribbons and accessories til the end of the month.  I’m heading to Ireland on May 11th and that is really just enough time to get out all the paper shares.   I’ll post more on that later as we get closer.

Ok, back to the colors….
I spent all day yesterday combing thru my swaps, papers and old ink pads to find other Stampin’ Up colors that might work with the 16 colors coming out May 2nd.  The new catalog has some fantastic Designer papers that highlight these colors so I wanted to see what worked well as Alternative inks.  Here is one example for the new Pebbled Path.  I think Gray Granite ink works fine as an alternate:

When the new catalog begins on May 2nd, there are assortment packs of cardstock with the new core 11 and also a pack with all 5 new In Colors.  That would be a great way to get a start on seeing which ones you love and need.

This video is a bit longer than normal, it’s about 20 minutes to show all 16 colors and the alternates.
