Color Refresh Coming Soon



We’re all about creativity and sharing what we love with those we love. And that means providing a compelling selection of high-quality craft supplies in coordinating colors and designs. We’re always working to not only meet trends but set them. That means evaluating and even refreshing our current products—and this year we’re refreshing our complete color collection! 

You’ll find some new friends and returning favorites among our Brights, Neutrals, Regals, and Subtles. And you won’t want to miss our new 2023–2025 In Colors. We hope you’re as excited as we are to start crafting with these fresh new colors and to share them with your fellow crafting enthusiasts.

To make room for new colors, several current colors will be 'retiring'.

I will post the RETIRED LIST on April 4th!! Among the Color Refresh, the current Designer Series Papers and Ribbons will also be retiring.

If you have some favorite colors, you will want to make sure you have the ink refills for the stamp pads so you can continue to use them.

If you have any questions, please contact me right away so you don't miss out on your favorites.

Thanks for stopping by today! If you have any questions,
