Introducing Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2026 In Colors

Every year Stampin’ Up! introduces us to a set of five on-trend colors that will stick around for two years. It’s like Christmas for me – I love opening up that new catalog and searching for these colors. I love soaking them in and finding what color combinations make them most special. SO EXCITING!

Today I’m going to give you a look at each and some of my thoughts about them. I can’t wait to work with these new colors, and I’m certain you are going to love them, too! Here are Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2026 In Colors:

There’s so much to love about the mix of soft and bright tones in these gorgeous colors! Often times I have to warm up to the new In Colors – I have to work with them a while to fall in love with them, but I’m already in love with these! The best way to show you how these colors fit into our current color families is to show you how they look right next to colors we already know. It might also help to show how they work with other colors you know and love.

Below are my thoughts on each of these amazing, new colors and some comparisons to colors already in our color families. I’ve also included an exciting color combination for each. There’s also another new color I’m excited to get to know!

PRETTY IN PINK

We have had a lot of pretty pinks over the years – many have had a lot of brown tones, orange tones or purple tones that pull them away from classic pinks. Pretty in Pink is a returning color from years past, joining us for another two-year run as a soon-to-be popular In Color. Here’s a look at Pretty in Pink:

Here’s how Pretty in Pink compares with some of the popular pinks in our current collection:

You might be thinking Pretty in Pink is a new version of Blushing Bride, which recently retired, but it’s a truer pink that you’re sure to love. Here’s a comparison:

Pretty in Pink will play well with a variety of colors, but it’s really “at home” with a collection of soft tones. I think Pretty Pink would work great with Soft Sea and Pool Party:

PETUNIA POP

Purples are always make popular In Colors. Petunia Pop balances the line between the Brights and Subtles categories. Here’s a look at the versatile Petunia Pop:

Petunia Pop is a step darker than Fresh Freesia (which is a step darker than Bubble Bath). Together, they look amazing, but each has its own personality. Here’s how Petunia Pop compares with these other soft purples:

While these three colors pull out the pale purples in Petunia Pop, the red tones in this new color “pop” when paired with Berry Burst. I think Petunia Pop, Berry Burst and Basic Gray will make a great combination:

SUMMER SPLASH

Summer is just around the corner – and Summer Splash truly delivers the feels of Summer. Here’s a look at this new, vibrant blue-green:

If you are like me, you immediately recognized how close Summer Splash is to Coastal Cabana. This new color has a bit more green than Coastal Cabana, making it a little brighter in tone. Although in the same family of blue-green colors, Lost Lagoon is a bit more dusty than Summer Splash. Here’s a comparison of these three colors:

While bright aquas look great with other bright colors, they can really pop against rich colors, too. I think Summer Splash looks great with Real Red and Early Espresso – what a mix!

SHY SHAMROCK

Ah, Shy Shamrock! We need an intense, pure green in our color collection, and Shy Shamrock delivers the kelly green we need! Here’s a look at this new green:

Here’s how Shy Shamrock compares with two very green colors in our current color collection:

If you’ve been stamping for a while, you might recognize Shy Shamrock as a close cousin of Just Jade, a retired In Color. It’s similar but quite a bit brighter. Here’s a comparison:

I love the mix of green, purple and blue. Shy Shamrock pairs well with Highland Heather and Blueberry Bushel:

PEACH PIE

This Georgia Peach was excited to see Peach Pie in the new lineup of In Colors. We have some pinks and some oranges, but Peach Pie is a perfect mix of the two for the peachy color we need. Here’s a look at Peach Pie:

Here’s how Peach Pie compares with two other orange-toned beauties in our current color collection:

Peach Pie is just a little more peachy than the recently retired Peekaboo Peach In Color. They are close, I have to admit, but I’m really happy Peach Pie is on its way into our lives. Here’s a comparison:

Peach Pie looks great with a variety of colors, but I’m excited to pair it with bright colors. I love the mix of Peach Pie, Coastal Cabana and Melon Mambo:

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

How exciting are these new colors? What do you think of them? Do you already have a favorite? I can’t wait to roll my sleeves up and start creating with these new, amazing colors once I can get my hands on them.

BASIC BEIGE

With the release of Stampin’ Up!’s 2024 Annual Catalog, we are introduced to a new neutral color that’s sure to be a popular favorite. Basic Beige is anything but basic – and it comes in cardstock and ink. Here’s a look at Basic Beige:

Basic Beige features more brown than Very Vanilla but is quite a bit lighter than Crumb Cake. Here’s how these three colors look side-by-side:

I’m excited to play with Basic Beige. How great does it look with Pecan Pie and Misty Moonlight?

Thanks for stopping by today!
