Demonstrators at the South Pacific Stampin' Up Convention got to be there for the unveiling of the 2015-17 In Color Collection, lucky ducks! Word spread like wildfire and I snagged these great pictures from the display boards at the event so we can all get our first glimpses.
Now, remember, these are just pictures--you'll want to see the colors in person before you make up your minds! Stay tuned for my New Catalog Events list, coming shortly! Just have to finalize one more venue.
I can't wait to try this cool mint with navy and a pop of red. I've heard you can use Mint Macaroon as a neutral, it's so light and ethereal. Will have to see how it fits into the Subtles collection. Greens can be tricky sometimes!
Can never have too many neutrals! This taupe is apparently darker in person and is going to coordinate great with Sahara Sand. I'm going to try those paired with Early Espresso and Mint Macaroon. And Watermelon Wonder with Tip Top Taupe is one of the hottest combos around for weddings right now!
This mustardy color is going to be awesome for fall, but I'm also excited at how well it pairs with Tip Top Taupe. Add a little black and some crisp white to Delightful Dijon, and I think we'll see a really striking combo for summer weddings.
I know this picture doesn't do this color justice--watermelon is much pinkier and not nearly so coral. It's going to pair perfectly with Cucumber Crush and I can't wait to see if Daffodil Delight is the right shade of yellow for Watermelon Wonder.
More green--but unlike Mint Macaroon, there's nothing shy and retiring about this one! This is the exact color of the leaves budding right now on my hydrangea bush. I think I'll reach for Bermuda Bay and Pumpkin Pie when I'm ready to start playing with Cucumber Crush.
So there we have it--an introduction to the new colors we always think we don't need, and then wind up falling in LOVE with! Ordering begins June 2nd--just one month to the new catalog!
I love that you listed the colors you'll be pairing these with! I can't wait to get my hands on some of these colors and try them out as well. Anxious to see your samples too.

Thanks Lyssa for sharing the fun pictures. Unless my eyes deceive me I can see from the titles in the butterfly card picture we are in for a couple of years confusion on the name of Mint Macaron. {grin}

I will have to see what the watermelon looks like in person to me right now looks like strawberry. Love the taupe and mint, think a lot of the colors will go with others also love love the lacey ribbon and the little flowers. Can hardly wait to get the book!
