Let’s talk about the 2014-2016 In Colors. I must admit I’m in love – the more I work with them, the more I love them. Last week I compared the In Colors to similar colors in the current Stampin’ Up! color collection. It really shows how each of these colors have their very own personalities (see that post here). Today, I want to share a some fun combinations of these new colors with complementary colors in the current Stampin’ Up! color collection. These colors pair well with each other (as shown in yesterday’s post) but also pair beautifully with other colors.
MOSSY MEADOW
Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake
HELLO HONEY
Hello Honey, Real Red, Pool Party
BLACKBERRY BLISS
Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry
TANGELO TWIST
Tangelo Twist, Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush
LOST LAGOON
Lost Lagoon, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight
What do you think? I hope you are as in love with these colors as I am. I can think of thousands of color combinations that will work well with these colors, and I can’t wait to explore those colors over the next two years. What combinations do you think work best with these new In Colors?
Thanks for stopping by today!

Not only do I love the new In Colors but I love the simplicity of this card!
Now I am in love 🙂 Thank you Brian ! Greetings, Anita from craftsfunwithanita.blogspot.de
Thanks Brian, they look great. 🙂
Love it…the cards are awesome.
Great cards in addition to the color combos!
WOW! Love the color combinations!! Can’t wait to see the new catalog:) What do you do with the cards you make? Do you save them or send them? Thank you
Thank you! The new catalog is gorgeous! While I do keep a small number of my cards to use in workshops or classes, I usually have a purpose in mind when I set out to make them.
Love the combinations. Can’t wait to get my hands on mine on Mon. Thanks for putting the combo’s together. Now I’m really excited. Carol
Great color combinations. And with the sentiments you selected these cards would make a great gift!!
Great combo’s! Thanks for the inspiration, Brian!
I have always found colors to be fascinating . Looking at your cards really sparks up my curiosity as to how each color will look in different themes or stamped off or which one will end up being my favorite . I love your cards ! How simple and yet delightful to look at …. Well done !
I love the CAS style of these cards as show how the new In Colors pair with other colors. I think the Blackberry Bliss will be my new favorite. Besides, I LOVE Blackberry Cobbler with ice cream! Go figure! Love all of these cards!!
Brian, you certainly have an eye for color. Do you have an art background?
Your combo’s make me like the new colors much more.
Hope you come back from the cruise refreshed.
I like the way you are showcasing the new colors with the old ones, great ideas on how to pair them, I think my favorite combination is the one with the Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive and Crushed Curry, it looks bright and lively. Thank you for doing this cards Brian, besides being really pretty, they offer a great reference to try this color combinations. 🙂
Totally agree! Well said Maria 🙂

The ink spots are stamped with Work of Art (a new stamp set from the upcoming catalog). The first, second and fourth sentiments are stamped with Something to Say (also a new stamp set from the upcoming catalog). The third sentiment is stamped with Perfect Pennants (available in the current Occasions Catalog and the upcoming catalog), while the fifth sentiment is stamped with Really Good Greetings (available in the current Annual Catalog and the upcoming catalog). I hope that’s helpful.
LOVE! Thanks for sharing!
These look great, Brian. The top 2 combinations are my favorites, especially the Mellow Moss. I am already thinking about beautiful floral designs for these colors!
I really like the new colors and I love these cards and the way you displayed the colors!
Great cards! Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy your site. Are you going to make the DSP swatchbooks like you have made before? Did I miss announcement? Or should I look elsewhere?
Besides the cards being great the sentiment selection is fantastic. I don’t find the sentiment you used on the Mossy Meadow card in the catalog or Occassions. Since I can’t part with any of my stamps ( I can’t help it) If it’s retired I probably have it. Would you mind telling me the name of the set or where it came from if, by chance, it’s not S.U. Thanks
Vicki, Some of these sentiments come from a sneak peek set in the upcoming catalog. Woo hoo! I’ll be sharing more soon. 🙂
The set is called Something to Say.
Wow!! I love all the combinations you shared. How did you select these options? I know you have an eye for color, but is there a tip for those of us who may not be so gifted to find success in combining color? Thanks for your ideas! I am getting SO excited to be able to try these out.
Thanks for sharing these great cards. I am now much more excited about the possibilities for these new colors. Great way to showcase them all!
Clean and simple, love it! Definitely filing these away in my Brian file for future reference. Received my pre order and the new colors are so rich and beautiful. Exciting!
Love these cards and the color combinations!! Thanks for the inspiration, Brian.
WOW!! Yes, I’m shouting!!
Great colours and a wonderful way of showing them – I’m in love.
Thank you Brian.
Thanks Brian for showing how fabulously the new In Colors work with other SU colors. Can’t wait to see your photos from the cruise.
These are stellar cards!
Great color combinations! Thanks for posting and sharing!
Beautiful colors…and cards!!! The stamp that you used here, what is the name of the stamp set it came from???
Thanks!
Gay
