It’s time to say goodbye to some of our favorite products from the annual and occasions catalogues! Not only are many of the stamp sets and accessories being retired but 13 of our colors are being retired as well!
At On Stage SU! announced a color revamp. 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 they see changes happening,
they review their color spectrum to ensure that they remain consistently on
top of the trends. Which is the reason for the 2018 Color Revamp!
In
order to keep bringing you the most current and on trend colors, they
decided it was time to give our color collections a makeover. It was time and I’m excited about the changes and I think you will be too.
Many of these colors won’t be a surprise but there are a few that you may really miss – for me it was soft sky. I love that color and am sad to see it go. There are bound to be a few of your favorites on the list too.
The colors that will be retiring are:
- Always Artichoke
- Chocolate Chip
- Elegant Eggplant
- Island Indigo
- Marina Mist
- Perfect Plum
- Pink Pirouette
- Rose Red
- Soft Sky
- Tangerine Tango
- Tempting Turquoise
- Wild Wasabi
- Wisteria Wonder
As well as the 2016-2018 In Colors:

- Flirty Flamingo* – this color will be returning as one of our core colours
- Peekaboo Peach

about the status of various products in those colors. Stampin’ Up! wanted to be
sure that you have a chance to buy retiring
ink pads and refills before they are gone. They have worked with their
vendors to ensure that they have a period of guaranteed stock before the
retirement date. This means that even if an ink pad/refill goes on
backorder during that guaranteed time, those orders will be fulfilled.
However,
after that guarantee date has passed, those products in retiring colors
are available while supplies last. Please see the chart below that
details this. It also shows how other products with retiring colors will
be handled.
