Introducing Stampin’ Up!’s new 2026-2028 In Color Collection!

• BARELY BLUSH
• CRISP CANTALOUPE (returning color from 2013-2015 In Color Collection)
• GOLDEN GLOW
• HYDRANGEA HUE
• PEACEFUL PINE

It’s a great array! I’m looking forward to a gorgeous periwinkle color, a pale soft & true pink, a returning favorite, another green option (green is my favorite color), and a “gold” in cardstock form.

These colors will debut May 5, 2026 in the new May-August 2026 Catalog!

I was live on YouTube last week (shortly after returning from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention in Long Beach, California) comparing these entering colors to current and past Stampin’ Up! colors. Click here to watch that recording (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog).

I hope you enjoyed watching this year’s color comparisons. Do you have a favorite incoming color? Add your comment at the bottom of this blog post. I’d love to know what you think.

Below are some photos to help compare the new colors. Scroll through the photos below, and then let me know if you have any questions. Each main color that is being compared is positioned somewhat in the middle of all the others and is marked with a rhinestone. Colors with small pearls are the “currently current” colors. (I’ll add digital colors when Stampin’ Up! makes the official hex codes available.)

Because photography doesn’t always capture the exact color, it’s best to view these comparisons in the video to see the cardstock swatches turned and manipulated in the light. The digital color swatches are also good to look at even if some of the colors in the photos are off a bit. And of course… purchasing the new colors when they become available on May 6th to see them in person will be even better. 😉

• BARELY BLUSH

• CRISP CANTALOUPE (returning color from 2013-2015 In Color Collection)

• GOLDEN GLOW

How do you get these new colors now like I did and not have to wait until May 5th? Be on the demonstrator side of things. When you sign up to be a demonstrator, you may purchase these items during the all-demonstrator preorder period which began today, March 24th. You may add preorder products to your Starter Kit shopping cart. Click here to learn more about the perks of getting the starter kit. Then after you are officially a demonstrator, you may order more preorder product that didn’t fit into your Starter Kit order. 😉 It’s so fun to be able to get these products early! Plus you’ll become a discount shopper. I love not having to pay full price!

I hope this helps many of you prepare for gathering up any outgoing colors and/or products with outgoing colors (Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, and Petunia Pop)…

…AND get your wish lists ready for when you can get your hands on some of these new ones!
