It is not quite 3 weeks since the 2016 – 2017 Annual catalog was launched and with it the new In-colors that we shall have for the next 2 years.  The new colors are always greatly anticipated because they are always up-to-date and in line with current trends – Stampin’ Up! go to a lot of trouble to ensure this is the case.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator, I get the chance to see these new colors,  a sneak peak at the new catalog in late April and was able to buy some of the new items at the beginning of May and I gotta say – I just love them all, they are clean, bright colors and a wonderful addition to the color families.

For my catalog launch at the begining of June I made up a number of cards to showcase each new color and its coordinating ribbon.

The cards themselves are very staight forward as I did not want to overshadow the colors
