IN COLORS RETIRING




 NOTICE - Stampin' Up! will be doing a refresh of colors starting with the new catalog May 2, 2023. Some of the color families in the Collections (Brights-Neutrals-Regals-Subtles) may be moved to another color family or replaced with a new color all together! Plus they will have the new In Colors for 2023-2025.

With that said, the 2021-2023 colors listed below will be going away. I would highly suggest if you are in need of ANY of those colors in cardstock, blends, ink or refills, I would buy them now before they sell out. Once the color announcement is made to demonstrators on March 29, 2023 they will sell out quickly!
Shop my online store using this link that has my host code attached:
(If your order is over $150.00 please remove the host code at checkout.)

Thanks!
