Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words, especially when it comes to Stampin’ Up!’s “Color Renovation”! What better way to compare the scrumptious Cherry Cobbler to Real Red than by comparing two identical cards? These quick and easy little cuties are 4-1/4″ by 4-1/4″ square. Since the focus is on the difference between these two shades of red, I wanted the card to be simple and not distracting. For those of you who are regular readers of The Stampin’ Schach, you know that “simple” is very difficult for me to do. As you can tell, Cherry Cobbler is a deep, rich red which I am so looking forward to using this holiday season. And you know what? I would never have guessed that Real Red would look so “anemic” (for lack of a better descriptor) when placed next to it!
Below is the Cherry Cobbler version…Yummy!
While this one is created with Real Red…
The Stampin’ Schach Tips:
- Dust off that Big Shot! A four-inch square of “Red” card stock was zipped through the Big Shot using Stampin’ Up!’s Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions Folder, as was a “Red” Extra Large Fancy Flower and a 1″ Circle punched from Whisper White. A 2-1/2″ square of Whisper White, with one corner rounded, was zipped through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder, which will be available in the Summer Mini.
- Even little cards deserve a little lovin’! A Clear Button with Hemp Twine and Whisper White 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon add a little “sweetness”! Notice how the button is backed up by an embossed Whisper White circle?
I can hardly wait for the new colors to be released. I really do believe that they will fill a niche in the Stampin’ Up! color palette! What do you think about the new Cherry Cobbler?

Very cool way to compare the colors! Great job!
Ann, gorgeous cards – love all the texture and the hemp twine is the perfect touch. I, too, love the Cherry Cobbler and it was wonderful to see it showcased in comparison to Real Red. I think it’s going to become my favorite red for Christmas.
Thanks so much for showing us these fabulous cards

Great way to compare the colors with such a simple classy design! I love these!
I am thinking the Cherry Cobbler will be my favorite new In Color—well, maybe the Marina Mist, too. But I can certainly see how this will fit in nicely for some Christmas card creations! CUTE cards, BTW!
I love the cherry cobbler, I love the deep rich colors the best… I think this is going to be one of my favorites…I agree with you that it will be great for the Christmas season..
hugs
Ann, thanks for the comparison. I love the real red and still see uses for it, but I love the new cherry cobbler and will also look forward to incorporating into my designs,now and at the holidays.
These are really cute cards! That is an awesome idea to show the difference between the 2 colors. I am loving the new cherry cobbler too! I agree with you the real red looks “pale” compared to the deep, rich color of the cherry cobbler. Thanks for sharing these!
Thanks for sharing the comparison. And I love the cute card too! As well as Real Red being anemic my nurse friends will love that!
I am still waiting for my Stampin’ Success but am so happy for all that are sharing pictures of their creations!
First, I really like the design of the card AND I finally received my Stampin’ Success today and wow do I love that new red! Thanks for making two cards to show the beautiful contrast and thanks for blessing me just before slipping off to bed! 🙂
