I am so excited that my demonstrator preorder is finally here! I didn't have to wait all that long though. I ordered it early Monday morning and it arrived this afternoon! Without further ado...
Each year, Stampin' Up! releases six new colors to enhance their fabulous core 48 colors. This year is no exception! Take a look at your 08-09 In Colors...
To give you a feel for what the colors look like, I stamped each color using the bird from Always. It is stamped on Glossy White cardstock and mounted on the color's cardstock. There is also a color comparison showing each new In Color paired with two colors from the core 48 colors. The new In Color is placed in the middle of each comparison.
Pink Pirouette
Top: Blush Blossom; Middle: Pink Pirouette; Bottom: Pretty in Pink
Riding Hood Red
Top: Ruby Red; Middle: Riding Hood Red; Bottom: Real Red
Tangerine Tango
Top: Only Orange; Middle: Tangerine Tango; Bottom: Pumpkin Pie
Kiwi Kiss
Top: Certainly Celery; Middle: Kiwi Kiss; Bottom: Old Olive
Baja Breeze
Top: Bashful Blue; Middle: Baja Breeze; Bottom: Bordering Blue
Pacific Point

I hope you enjoyed this look at the 08-09 In Colors! You can start ordering the In Colors the same day you can order from the new Fall Winter 08 Catalog.
Leave me a comment and tell me what you think will be your favorite In Color for 08-09.

I had a lot of fun making these! I have seen other color comparisons, but I wanted to make my own analysis. I took my cardstock ring and the new In Colors outside in the late afternoon sun and compared them. I wanted to find a lighter color and a darker color for each. You should have seen some of the comparisons I chose initially. Totally off! It really helps to take them outside in the natural light.

What a fabulous idea! Like Denise, I'd like to do this for my own new catalog showcase party. You are SO full of great ideas -- thank you for your genius!

This is wonderful! Such a unique way of showcasing the new colors and the comparisons really help. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Michelle,
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing it. My new In Color paper, inks etc is to arrive this week and I will borrow elements from this design for a card of my own. Hope to see you in So Cal next year for SCS Stamp Mania if it happens...
