I thought I would do a formal introduction of the April colors today! I present Summer Sunrise & Lemon Tart!
Summer Sunrise is a golden yellow-orange color. It has just a few undertones of tangerine to it too. I love the way it can be paired with many of our other colors and take on different looks. For example, when combined with lemon tart it has a softer appearance. But when used with Aqua Mist it become much more prominent & bright.
Lemon Tart is a beautiful soft buttercream yellow. I have been wanting a yellow like this for a long time. It is a little more "yellow" than a lot of the pastel yellows out there. This color in Palette ink is vibrant enough that you could even use it for a sentiment.
Here is a comparison chart to SU! colors. (you can click on it to enlarge.) Papertrey’s Summer Sunrise falls right in between Summer Sun & Marigold Morning. Summer Sunrise is a lot more orange than Summer Sun, but not as deep in color as Marigold Morning. (Although it was difficult to capture the differences here.) Papertrey’s Lemon Tart has a lot more yellow in it than Barely Banana, but obviously isn’t nearly as bright as Yoyo Yellow.
I love both of these new colors and I know you will too!
ooh, these are both delicious. I particularly LOVE the Lemon.
I just love these Nichole. Thanks for the explanation!
Just perfect! I really missed Marigold Morning when it retired, and I use Summer Sun a lot for things like flower centers. Summer Sunrise will fill a gap that I didn’t even know I had. And Lemon Tart is just what we needed between Barely Banana and Yoyo Yellow as well. Thanks for figuring out these things for us!
Love the soft yellow….I have been wanting a soft, bright yellow. I like Barely Banana but it is often to soft for a project. I love the Summer Sunrise because it will take on different looks when paired with certain colors. Thanks for the gel card project template.
Lemon Tart is the perfect yello I’ve been needing…can’t wait to get it!
OOOHHH I LOVE THEM!!! They are delicious… Lemon Tarts are my fave dessert…
AWSOME!!! I love the new colors you picked thsi month Nichole! WTG!!!

I love them both! Can’t wait until the 15th so I can make them mine! 🙂
They are so perfect. I can’t wait to get these to use with the other 4 colors!
Beautiful once again, Nichole!! I have used my PTI ribbon A LOT and it is so delicious to handle and use…quite a luxury.
Love PTI!!

These look so yummy Nichole. Can’t wait to get my hands on them :o)
My favorite combo to date!! Can’t wait to see the new patterned papers in these colors. 🙂
Great colors, Nichole! I Love the lemon tart!
Another GREAT color choice Nicole!! These colors are soooo YUMMY!! I love that you have given us the ability to coordinate your products with SU products!! You ROCK!
Just beautiful, especially on a rainy day like we’re having here!
Oh my!! Those are yummy enough to drink!
I love these!
I never thought I would be excited about April 15th EVER. I’m really into yellow this year and these are amazing!

Wow – I love them both!! I have to admit that the Lemon Tart is super dreamy and I can’t wait to get all the ribbon, too! =)
Love, Love, Love the new colors!
They remind me a beautiful sunny summer day!
Can’t wait to get them!
Gorgeous!!!
I am obsessed with the colors orange and yellow right now. You have made me completely happy!
As beautiful as ever!!! And they ALWAYS look better in person. I can hardly wait to play with these warm colours.
Ok I’m screaming here!!! I love them both. Can’t wait to get my hands on them and create!!! Cynthia
What lovely sunny colours, these will brighten even the most rainiest of days :D! Shame I just put in an order, I’ll start saving up for the new release ;o)
I love those colors – those will be coming to live at my house very soon!! Is it the 15th yet???
These colors are wonderful!! We are just now starting to get some sunshine with a bit of warmth here and these colors just glow with the warmth of summer sunshine. I love ribbons and can’t wait to see them in person and your paper the best. TFS Ann
oooooo, I love yellows and oranges. They are such happy colors. Yippie, I cant wait to order. Please hurry April 15th, please! -Molly B
these colors look lovely. Can’t wait to see more cards made with them.
I can’t wait to see these in combination with the other four colors. I’m thinking Lemon Tart would look beautiful with Berry Sorbet and Spring Moss!
These are such pretty colors. I loved Marigold Morning so I think that I’ll love the Summer Sunrise and that Lemon color is divine!
Summer Sunrise is absolutely gorgeous! It reminds me of my trip to Hawaii and the fresh mango juice I would drink every morning!
i like them….thanks for the great colors again this month!!! >”<
Beautiful yellows! Are you going to have the stitched too – it wasn’t in the picture.

Gorgeous colors!
So great!! Yellow is really such a re-newing of life colour!
Oooh pretty colors! Perfect for summer.
I’m in trouble!
I am excited about the yellow. It’s so hard to find a good yellow. Of course I want it all.
Its a very cold, cloudy, rainy day here and the glimpse of those new colors is just what I needed! They brought sunshine into my computer. 🙂
Yummy colors!! Love both!!
LOVE the Lemon Tart!!! For some reason that yellow is very hard to find in ribbons. And now I can get matching paper & ink too!!! 🙂
These are so pretty! I’m not a yellow fan, but these shades are georgous!
Love the new color combo…..reminds me of a sunny summer day. Can’t wait to see the patterned paper that coordinates with the new colors. And let us not forget the beautiful array of ribbons that help to bring everything together to make a lovely coordinated project. Looking forward to April 15th with anticipation for all of the new releases.
Love the new colors. Can’t wait to get my hands on them 🙂
Absolutely beautiful! I just love these new colors. Kudos again, Nichole & the PTI Gang.
LOVE the new colors! And I especially appreciate the side-by-side comparisons you do with the SU colors (which are my stamples).
Thanks so much Nichole! Can’t wait to order them!

{standing ovation}
These will look spectacular in my collection!
{grin}
I, too, am obsessed with orange/yellow right now! Woo Hoo!!!! Can’t wait to order! You know I’m almost as excited waiting for the new colors as I am the stamp sets!
Just beautiful! Love the summer sunrise!
Such wonderful colours. I really love Lemon Tart. Not only does it sound yummy, it looks yummy too!
The new colors are fabulous! Love them!
I absolutely love the new colors….they remind me of a sunny summer day.
These are awesome! I do mean to pick up all the custom colors and everything that goes with them! All six colors are just wonderful, and I love that you have custom Palette ink pads that match!
The fish card is totally cool! Must try that!
Nice sunny papers and ribbons – just great for summer cards. It would be a treat to try out your Lemon Tart – a great yellow. It will brighten up any persons day. 🙂
I absolutely LOVE these new colors! They will look great with the other colors as well. Great job!
I think that the Lemon Tart color is probably my all-time favorite color — I always thought that Barely Banana was as close as I was going to come, but apparently I was wrong. I’m very excited to see it in the ribbon! Jeanne

Oh my! I love the new colors, Nicole! These are two of my favorites. Love the buttery richness of the Lemon Tart. In fact that’s very close to the color that I painted my stamp room. Ahhh, I love it.
yellow/orange and golds are my favorite colors and wait to make all my freinds what to have a girls card night with these colors thanks cant wait to see more. Sue
I am loving these colors! I can’t wait to add them to my growing Papertrey color collection!
How many luscious colors can we expect from Papertrey? In need to start figuring out my paper organization now for all these beauties!
