How do I feel about the color change? I am SO excited! When I look at the colors that are being retired, I hardly use them. It will be so wonderful to be able to use hip, fashion colors that match today's trends and of course the return of  some of my favorite In Colors. YAY!!!

If these are your favorite colors that are retiring, Its a great time to stock up!  CLICK HERE TO START SHOPPING. . .

STAMPIN' UP! COLORS RETIRING ON JULY 1:
You might want to stock up on your favorite colors that are retiring this June.
If you use any of these colors a lot I would suggest a fresh Classic Re-Inker to keep that ink pad going for years to come and a pack or two of card stock in your favorite size. The products will be available as normal through May 31.  Then from June 1- June 30, the colors will only be available while supplies last!

The Summer Sun cardstock and ink used on this card will be retiring.

 

This card uses the retiring color Summer Sun for the card base and on the flower.  The Designer series paper is Pink Flamingo and the technique used on the flower is “rock and roll”.
