  1. Honestly, I don’t. The replacement colors are typically based on fashion and home decor trends, not replacement. If you have a specific color your are inquiring about, please feel free to email me.

  2. Do you know of a color chart that would show the retires inks and what the replacement colors would be? Thank you so much for your time and effort

  9. I guess I love non traditional colors for Christmas. I love the elegant eggplant with smoky slate. Also love crumb cake with cherry cobbler. Thanks so much for sharing all of your creativity with us!

  10. I love starting a card with Crumb Cake! Next you can let your imagination run wild and use any traditional red and green combination or be brave and go with Night of Navy or any combination of colors that will make the Holidays magic!

  11. I really enjoy all of the color combos from SU! but my favorite is Real Red/Garden Green/Whisper White…it’s so classic!

  12. The mossy meadow is my favorite green with my holiday candy dots…and with the always favorite cherry cobbler, my Stampin room is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

  16. I love Real Red for sentiments and accents, but Cherry Cobbler makes a great card base for Christmas.

  20. I’m using Crumb Cake a lot for Christmas Cards this year. It really looks good with the Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. I love making Christmas cards — it’s my favorite time of the year.

  21. Cherry cobbler is my favorite color for Christmas. Love the deep, rich color. Thank you for a chance to win the blog candy, Mary!

  23. My go to combo has always been cherry cobbler, always artichoke and vanilla. So rich!
    Thank you Mary

  25. Hands down, it’s Cherry Cobbler! I hope SU never discontinues it, as it has been my favorite color since it was introduced.

  28. I have really gotten to love cucumber crush for both fall and Christmas cards! Thanks Mary!

  30. Real Red is my favorite. I love your card. Thanks for chance to win the amazing blog candy.

  32. I initially thought Cherry Cobbler but then I realized that you asked Holiday color. Since we aren’t being specific as to which Holiday I have to say Black since I use it on so many of my Holiday cards.

  33. Wow! What a response! I’m part of the large CHERRY COBBLER group–to me it truly says Christmas more than any other color.

  34. That’s easy–cherry cobbler! Love that color all year round but especially at Christmas!

  36. I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas, so I’m sure I will most likely reach for Real Red and a variety of greens, gold, silver, and white to compliment the red. But they won’t be boring at all because Stampin Up has added such a collection of matte, shiney, glitter, vellum, light and heavy weight papers. Not to mention all the doilies and embellishments. I might try a few of the shades of red, but I highly doubt you will find any pink, purple or turquoise on my stamping table!

  40. Cherry Cobbler is my favorite. Thank you for the chance to win. I look forward to your daily post of inspiration.

  41. My favorite color is Blackberry Bliss for it’s deep rich hue lends itself to highlighting all other colors an especially white,siver, gol,red and green for the holiays.

  43. I love the deep rich hue of Cherry Cobbler. The beautiful linen cherry cobbler ribbon, currently on the clearance rack is a must have for Christmas cards, tags and packages.

  46. Awesome ideas as usual! That’s why I follow your page. As a Stampin Up demonstrator I’m constantly looking for creative ideas and I can always find them here. THANKS!

  48. I love any of the paler blues with silver foil or glimmer that reflects the beauty of a clear winter sky and ground covered in snow and for that icy cold winter feel.

  49. went to a card making event myself this weekend…. would love to win some blog candy !!!!!! hope you are having fun can’t wait to see what you made this weekend…..

  51. Although Cherry Cobbler is my favorite holiday color, I have had some fun using Lost Lagoon this year!

  57. I was searching for Stampin’ UP! Color Swatch Charts and found you site for the 2014-2016 charts. I love your site — crisp, clear, pretty! I am a fellow Demonstrator and have seen your new Crafting area design by StampNStorage – Very pretty!

  58. I LOVE Cherry Cobbler for all of my holiday cards! It coordinates beautifully with all of the earth tone colors for fall and Thanksgiving cards And it’s also perfect paired with any of Stampin’ Ups gorgeous greens for my traditional Christmas cards! Mary, you a huge inspiration to stampers everywhere! Thanks for being YOU!

  61. Mostly stamp in black and fill in with colors. If it is a solid stamp sometimes emboss with silver or gold.

  62. I love wintery colors – so bermuda bay, pool party, and island indigo are my favorites. I also love pear pizzaz and old olive for greens.

  70. I love Elegant Eggplant! It lends a rich color scheme that is also very classy and elegant! Try it out! Happy Stamping

  71. Hi Mary, nothing says Christmas like the deep rich red of Cherry Cobbler!

  72. Red and green are traditional, but something about the blues make it soft and peaceful. I do tend to use more Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive though. Have a joy filled week-end.

  76. I love vanilla and gold for a classic rich Christmas card!!!!thanks for the opportunity to win!!!

  82. Lost lagoon with Whisper White. Lost Lagoon seems to give such a calming effect during the holidays which some of us need during the hustle and bustle.

  88. I’m liking cucumber crush this year! Trying to decide what to pair it with that’s not a red though.

  89. My favorite color for Christmas is cherry cobbler. I like to layer it on a crumb cake base.

  90. I’m always using up my stash of Cherry Cobbler at Christmas time, so I guess if I had to choose just one that would be it. Thanks so much for the chance to win! Hope you had a great time.

  91. Last year I made some wonderful Christmas cards with Lost Lagoon and the Silver Glimmer paper. The old standby though is Cherry Cobbler! I hope you had a great weekend in Atlanta! Thanks for contest.

  93. I love crumb cake with cherry cobbler. Have fun this weekend. Can’t wait to all of the tacky name tags!

  94. I love real red combined with crumb cake. But this year, I think Cucumber Crush is going to get used a lot.

  106. Real Red is my favorite color to use for holiday cards. Red says Christmas to me.

    • Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla for a Holiday vintage look, is what I meant to reply.

  110. Lost lagoon! Goes great with traditional Reds! And I am going to have to get s cherry cobbler after reading so many posts!

  111. I love the vintage look of Cherry Cobbler. I love to make elegant cards and that is the perfect color to start with.

    🙂

  117. Have a great time in Atlanta Mary, it sounds like loads of fun!

    I tend to prefer the muted holiday colors of Bravo Burgundy, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Lost Lagoon. But my favorite color right now is Mossy Meadow.

    Thanks for the generous blog candy!

  119. I love the richness of Cherry Cobbler. Mossy Meadow may be my go-to green this year! Thanks for all your great ideas!

  120. I usually go traditional with Real Red but last year I used Lost Lagoon and was really happy with the results.

  121. Old olive is my favorite color for Christmas. Thank you for offering all the wonderful blog candy!

  122. I really do not have a special color. Love the blues with sparkling papers or reds/greens for traditional cards. I like to think outside the box with colors when making one of my Christmas designs for family and the troops.

  126. I am a traditional holiday colors person. Real red and one Seameadow will play a big part in my holiday season.

  127. I can’t pick just one! My favorite colors for the holidays are tangelo twist, old olive, and rich razzleberry. These colors get me through Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!

  131. I love your blog posts and wonderful ideas. I check my email every morning and your post is my first go to. Thanks for keeping my creative juices flowing.

  132. Cherry Cobbler is my fav. But I’ll try all sorts of color combos just to be a little different!

  133. I like the untraditional hues of blue – but the one that I always grab is cherry cobbler ! Yummy

  135. Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, Hello Honey for Autumn/Fall. Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow for Christmas. Marina Mist, Pool Party, and Silver embossing powder with Flurry of Wishes for New Years/Winter.

  138. I love Cherry Cobbler both because it’s a perfect Christmas color (IMO) and because it was a Cherry Cobbler pin that started my Stampin’ Up! business.

  168. I love Cherry Cobbler, but I also love the strong variety of colors we have! Sooo many shades can be used for every holiday!

Thanks for a chance to win a great prize package I love that stamp set. Have a great time in Atlanta!

  454. I LOVE the Home for Christmas Suite with the Mossy Meadow, Pool Party and Real Red so out of the three I’ll pick Pool Party!!
    Thanks so much for sharing Mary!

  462. Gosh Mary, depends on the stamp and my mood. Ha ha! I love cherry cobbler, real red, garden green, and night of navy but the stamp determines what look I’m going for. I guess it’s time to plan out our Christmas cards but I’m just not there yet! Have a super time with Brian and the rest of the pals.

  463. So many wonderful colors to choose from. But I will have to go with Cherry Cobbler. It just seems to with everything. P.S. The best Holiday catalog ever!!!!!!!

  465. I love cherry cobbler, but have now added mossy meadow to that list for this year’s Christmas cards.

  468. I always use red and green for my Christmas card. I love the combination of Real Red and Garden Green or some times Old Olive. Then I always add something shiny, glittery or sparkles. Excited about the new gold cording I plan to use this year on my cards.

  469. Fantastic blog candy Mary! My favorite color to use for the holidays has to be the classic Real Red. I especially love the red foil sheets in the holiday catalog this year and know I will use it a lot of that on my holiday cards!

  471. My favorite color is Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler. Of course, old olive was my favorite before mossy meadow.

  472. Oh, wow! Great give-away, Mary. Thanks for all the inspiration you give me. I like so many SU color combos for Christmas cards, but if I had to pick one I would have to go with Night of Navy. I love the elegant look it gives when you emboss on it with gold or silver. Have a great time on World Card Making Day.

  473. Cherry Cobbler with a close second of Whisper White. Thanks for a chance to win this awesome Blog Candy.

  492. I almost always use blue tones for my Xmas cards, not sure why, that is just what I end up with. Soft sky has always been a winner for my holiday cards…

    • I enjoy using the Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green, but my favorite is Island Indigo with Winter Frost DSP.

  507. I really liked the combo of Rich Razzleberry and Always Artichoke that you used on your recent
    butterfly card. I used these same colors and layout to make a card using the Delicate Ornaments dies. Beautiful!

  509. Cherry Cobbler is my favorite red but I love using blue and green to switch it up some years. Then it is usually Baja Breeze (or whatever I feel like).

  510. Real red is my fav…so many things to make for Christmas. Just love it!!!!!!

  540. Welcome to Atlanta! I love to use pear pizzazz for the holidays! I combine it with old olive and gold or real red and lost lagoon.

  545. HI Mary! Hard to pass up the traditional reds and greens but I also love the deep purple of elegant eggplant and shiny gold or silver paired with it! Have a great time in Atlanta!

  546. Hi Mary! hope you have a great time. My favorite color to use is Cherry Cobbler. However, this year I plan on using Night of Navy and Whisper White for a Santa’s sleigh silhouette.

  547. Old Olive, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie are my favorite color combination this time of the year. Have a wonderful weekend!?

  548. I always use Cherry Cobbler but this year I’m thinking Night of Navy for the card design I’ve picked out. With silver accents 🙂

  553. Real Red & Old Olive are my constant holiday go-to’s! They are perfectly classic together! I also sometimes swap in Always Artichoke if the image is a bit more rustic looking.

  556. My favorite color for the holidays is…cherry cobbler, so rich and Christmasy! 🙂

  557. Real Red & and Old Olive are a favorite combo!!! But I love Rich Razzleberry so much I use it all the time 🙂

  565. Real Red, Mossy Meadow, and Whisper White – a winning trio that is a must on all of my cards!

  572. I love all reds!! But Cherry Cobbler is the one right there… reachable all the time and it does not even make it back to the shelf during the Holidays. Safe travels… Thank you for the fun.

  574. I like so many especially the retired hunter green but for current colors it has to be Cherry Cobbler!
    Thanks for a chance to win your blog candy!

  577. Mary, have fun on your trip to Atlanta, please give Brian a hug from me!!!

    Safe travels to all going!

  605. Cherry cobbler!!! And gold…or silver…or old olive….mossy meadow! So many choices!

  607. Old Olive is my favorite Christmas color especially when combined with Cherry Cobbler. That combination can’t be beat.

  612. I love a different twist and will look forward to trying Blackberry Bliss this year! I’m often a non-traditional Christmas color gal!! There are several others I have my eye on, as well!! SO exciting this year!! Thanks so much for the chance to win and I hope your trip is the best ever!!

  613. Cherry Cobbler is my color; I decided that BEFORE looking at the list of colors you had listed.

  614. My favorite Christmas color would have to be Cherry Cobbler. It is such a deep red and partners so well with so many of the greens we have.

  618. Hi Mary………..I am in love with lost lagoon for Christmas this year. It’s not traditional………but neither am I LOL
    thanks for sharing

  620. Cherry Cobbler is the one, not too bright, very subtle and gives just the right amount of red to any Christmas card.

  623. Have a great weekend. I love the Home for Christmas DSP, especially the Santa so I would say Pool Party, Real Red and Mossy Meadow.

  625. Hi Mary, First . . . have a great weekend. Wish I could have made it! Enjoy! Take pics! I’ll be following along with all the Pals.
    My favorite Christmas color is Cherry Cobbler.
    🙂

  626. Island Indigo with silver embellishments is my favorite with Cherry Cobbler a close 2nd. Thank you for the blog candy.

  630. Real red is my holiday choice. It is great for fall, but especially Christmas. It reminds of Santa and a much simpler time in my youth.

  635. Mary ~

  638. I have to pick just one: Red (ok Real Red or Cherry Cobbler). Have fun in Atlanta. I’ll be hosting my own little event with a few friends. Big hugs to all M

  640. Enjoy your World Cardmaking Day event! This year, I love the look of Pool Party as it coordinates with the Home For Christmas DSP. Christmas makes me think green, red, and gold, so this is a switch.

  641. Hey Miss Mary. The stamping event sounds like a blast. My favorite color this year for the holidays is night of bavy because I just finished my Christmas cards using that color and they turned out beautiful. Can you believe I have my Christmas cards finished! It’s a first for sure! Have a safe trip.

  642. Right now I’m having fun playing with pinks in my Christmas cards! I’ll be at the WCMD Atlanta tomorrow – hope to have a chance to meet you! 🙂

  643. There are so many ones I like but for the holidays I love it using melon mambo. While it isn’t the traditional red it goes with so many other colors while still being bright.

  645. Real Red or Cherry Cobbler. Depends on the stamp set I am using. Thanks for a chance to win! ?

  646. Old olive is a tried and true favorite. It really gives you that classic Chirstmas feel.

  647. I have a couple of favorites but Night of Navy and White and Cherry Cobbler and Garden green are top!!

  648. Since I started using Stampin up, I really use alot of the cherry cobbler and old olive together. I love the way they look together on a card.

  652. I love to use Island Indigo and Pool Party. It reminds me of beautiful snowy days.

  654. It’s always hard to decide but I find myself reaching for the Regals. For fall I like Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry and I’m a little more traditional with Chistmas red (Cherry Cobbler) and green (Garden Green) but love testing the color wheel to find new combinations.

  656. Island Indigo with a silver accent can be really pretty for ornaments, doves, snowflakes, and trees. Really nice!

  657. Cherry Cobbler…love the richness and classy hue of the color and to me it screams holiday!

  664. Cherry Cobbler is such a beautiful classic Christmas color paired with Old Olive or retired brushed gold or glitter paper.

  670. .definately Cherry cobbler. I use it all the time especially for Christmas cards.

  672. I love Autumn and I love orange so pumpkin pie is my all time favorite color in the catalog. Love me some orange.

  675. Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive for me!! When I am in a sparkling mood silver and light blue!! Have fun can’t wait to see what you make.

  678. I love real red and garden for the traditional colors, but night of navy is my favorite.i love to use silver ink and silver embossing powder on it for a real wow factor.,

  686. For Thanksgiving and fall the entire 2014-2016 colors are my fave can’t get enough of them. For Christmas, I love Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. Never just one color.

  690. My favorite colors to use for the holidays are still the classics Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive but I have been known to also use the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss.

  695. Lost Lagoon, soft sky and silver foil or glimmer. All about that icy feeling! Have a great weekend in Atlanta.
