The new In Colors 2025-27 coming in May in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog were revealed at the Stampin’ Up! Convention last weekend and you MAY already have one of them! It’s Strawberry Slush! When the new On The Go Designer Series Paper was released on March 4th in the Online Exclusives, eagle-eyed people noticed that one of the coordinating colors was Strawberry Slush! That was a big clue! Strawberry Slush was one of the In Colors years ago!
The In Colors that Stampin’ Up! puts out every year which last for two years are the “trendy” colors that keep us all up to date and add some additional color options every year. It’s always interesting to see what the new In Colors will be. When the current catalog comes to an end this year, so will the 2023-25 In Colors which are Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path, and Wild Wheat. Sometimes you like the In Colors and sometimes you don’t. I have to say, except for Boho Blue, this group has not been my favorite and they can leave! If you want to stock up on anything with these colors, from ribbon to ink pads, you should do it soon just to be sure you can get them.
The good news is the 2024-26 In Colors of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, and Petunia Pop will be sticking around for another year! I like these colors just fine!
Although I don’t have photos of the incoming In Colors, when I heard Strawberry Slush was returning I was sure I still had it in my retired stash from years ago. I didn’t realize how many years ago! Someone said it was part of the 2013-15 In Color Collection. After going through not too many boxes and places, I found my old Strawberry Slush ink pad, reinker, Stampin’ Write marker, and two sizes of cardstock! It’s a pretty color and will be nice to use again! In case you have your colors or retired things in any kind of order, here are the other colors from that collection: Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Coastal Cabana. Of course, Coastal Cabana already got promoted into our Core Colors, maybe with the last color refresh when Stampin’ Up! shakes things up by adding and taking away and rearranging color families every few years or so.
So start looking if you have been shopping with Stampin’ Up! for a long time and see if you already have Strawberry Slush! Then you’ll already have one of the new In Colors!
