Good Friday to all…the weekend is here and it is time for me to have fun over the weekend playing with my new goodies. I was away all day yesterday but when I drove down our lane every finger and toe was crossed that the "Brown Man" paid me a visit….and he did!
I know you all are super excited to get the new products and play and trust me….May is always such a busy month for everyone and I know that these next couple of weeks are going to Z O O M by and June 2nd will be here!
As sad as I was to see the last group of In Colors leave us….these are fabulous. I am being totally honest – I still have a "heart throb" for Strawberry Slush but I know that these are going to be great additions to the paper color family.
Do you have a favorite? Please leave a comment and let's all hear what everyone likes! We all have a hard time with change…but I know that you are going to love working with these.
I had a bit of fun with a new stamp set and I know that you are going to like this one too, but today we are just focusing on the NEW In Colors!
When I pulled the papers out of the box…I thought to myself…blog about your 1st thoughts when you see each color….so here you go!
- Cucumber Crush – Wow…Love it…Will be great with Black & White…Bold…Fun!
- Delightful Dijon – Fall…Very Rich…Will look stunning Navy & White…Much better in person!
- Mint Macaron – Can you say GORGEOUS!!!…Lots of Blue Undertones…Will look great with Very Vanilla & Soft Suede
- Tip Top Taupe – YES – a great NEW Neutral!!!…A perfect blending color…LOVE the name! Will look great at the holiday with Very Vanilla and Always Artichoke
- Watermelon Wonder - Crisp…not as pink as I thought….Very clear and bold…Will look great with Grey's.
Are you excited? I sure am and I am super happy to share them with you. I know that you are going to adore the new catalog and I know that our new friends of the "In Colors" are going to be great friends for the next 2 years!
You too can get these in colors now….please click here to see the post from Wednesday…and you can see for yourself a sneak peek of the items that are available for preorder – it is a total win-win and why not – we all love Stampin' Up! and I would adore helping you have FUN!
Thanks for popping in and tomorrow is the fun weekend 2 day post that many of you enjoy! Let us know what is your favorite color….I love hearing your favorites.
Tip Top Taupe makes me soooo happy – rich and neutral; love that! And the Mint Macaroon is lovely! Happy weekend!
Me too! It really is a beautiful color and I know it will be a go-to – it’s fun to say that name fast….great name!
Am most excited about Tip Top Taupe. I’m thinking taupe with Watermelon Wonder and white. What do you think?
Susan, thanks for showing us these colors up close! I like the taupe shade, looks like painted walls. The cucumber shade looks like wild wasabi and gumball green had a baby? I like it! The mint shade gets me excited like maybe it’s a lighter version of Baja blue? Maybe that’s stretching too much, ha ha. I miss that blue. The pink and yellow I’ll just need to hold in my hands to compare. I think I’m neutral on those two. Change is hard and I always love the new colors after their used a bit and I see them in action. Have a great weekend!
I look forward to seeing all the colors in action more. I can’t tell, yet, which one(s) I will like best. A brighter green is a good thing, though. The blueness of the mint macaron surprises me a bit.
I hope you have a nice day!
Cyberhugs!
Here is my top three . . . Mint Macaroon, Delightful Dijon, Tip Top Taupe. Looking forward to seeing them in person.

Cucumber Crush may be my favorite. It was like the puppy in the litter that jumps up at you!
Tip Top Taupe is going to be great to work with and Cucumber Crush will be the fun color. Love how you paired the colors up! Can’t wait to see them in action. Also, love Vickie’s analogy!
I love all of your samples. Although I am mourning that the 2013-2015 In Colors will depart soon at least I know there are new In-Colors that I like. They’ll grow on me even more once I see them “in action” more. I’ve been out of town this last week and haven’t had access to your blog. I’m so glad to be home again and back to my normal “Susan Routine” first thing in the morning. I’ve missed all your posts and look forward to catching up today. Oh…Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe are my favorites so far.
I thought my favourite was going to be watermelon wonder since I’m also mourning strawberry slush but you said its not as pink as you expected, so maybe not! I guess I’ll have to wait until I see them in person next week when my order arrives!
Mint Macaroon for sure! I love anything blue or teal. Thanks for sharing with us~
Cucumber Crush is so bright and happy, my favorite for now. But I am always surprised how the new colors all grow on me and I love them all. Speaking of happy, your cute card today oozes with happiness, love it in all it’s unique glory.
I couldn’t access your blog today so had to Google it. Weird. Whatever. All the colors seem to be different – our monitor is still being goofy. I think the taupe will be my most used color but I am anxious to see all the colors up close and personal. The mint macaroon sounds so yummy that I might have to play with it first. Who knows – I might want a sandwich with the Dijon mustard before dessert. What’s next Grey Poupon? But, I am also thinking cucumber sounds sort of tasty too. Watermelon is for later in the summer in my book. I like the idea of you telling us which would go well with what colors too. Something to keep in mind. So, did you get one of everything you could in your order?
Tip Top Taupe! Love it. Will go with so many colors.
It took me a long time to warm up to the retiring In-Colors, but I am super excited about these. Thanks for sharing them “in action”. I think Tip Top Taupe will be my favorite as I have a soft spot for neutrals.
Good Morning Susan,
The new In Colors are starting to grow on me. I love your card above. What stamp set did you use for that “hello?” Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and love the family stories too. ?
Cucumber crush will be a fun color to work with!! I love your idea with black and white!!
I’m so excited, Mr Brown will be visiting me today with my preorder and catalogs and then it’s play time, YEAH:)
Hi Susan,
LOVING Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe. Watermelon Wonder is a little more orange-y than I would have expected. Finding it VERY difficult to like Delightful Dijon! Maybe I just need to see it in person.
Have a great weekend, and Happy Mother’s Day!
I am excited to see Cucumber Crush. Am I wishing my life away for June 2nd to come.
The stamp set is also a sneak peek from the upcoming catalog called Layered Alphabet Letters.

Thank you so much. I looked them up but will have to wait until the 2nd of June as I already put in my sneak peek order…darn. Don’t know how I missed them. ?
I love cucumber, mint and watermelon! So fresh and perfect for our color families! May IS such a busy month…. I guess it’s good June comes and we have lots of time to stamp (at least I do as a teacher off for the summer)!
