Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video


If choosing color combinations is challenging for you the Color Theory video below may help you out. 

You can find a printed color wheel in the new Annual Catalog on page 132.  Some of us lucky Demo's received a real color wheel at OnStage in Houston.  It was a surprise perk for attendees. 

Stampin' Up! has heard from many people begging for one since they saw it. Stay tuned; they are producing another that will be available for purchase later this year.  In the meantime please watch the video seen further below to see how you can use this color wheel.

Here's a photo of the printed color wheel in the catalog: 

My top favorite and easiest way to combine colors is Monochromatic. This means hues of one color – blues, greens etc.  Monochromatic projects are soothing to the eye and can be seamless.  

My second favorite is to use complimentary colors such as pink & green or yellow with purple. 

If you're using designer paper Stampin' Up! has done the work for you – just choose from the colors listed on the back of each package. 

Honestly, how I usually choose colors is to hold the card stock pieces next to each other. For me that's easy, but I know others struggle so I hope the video below will help you out.

  • Unique color combo for this Humble Home card; great for Christmas or birthday!


    This is one of the projects we made at my October Card Clubs. What do you think of this fun color combo? 

    I used Highland Heather with Summer Splash & Black. The trees are Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist.  

    The greetings are from the Iconic Imagery bundle seen here.  I also offered a birthday version for those who didn't want a Christmas card. 

    That pretty white snowfall background is made with White Craft ink and the Falling Snow stamp seen here.  It's currently out of stock but should return around November 18th. 

    Here's the inside view:

    For the greetings I used the Greetings of the Season & Labeled with Love sets. 

    I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click on the following link: Download Humble Home Oct 2024

  • Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!


    The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

    This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks.  I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion.  It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today!  See it here. 

    The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides.  I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases.  I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.  

    Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

    Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives. 

    Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits.  They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning.  They're great for gifts or last minute crafting. 

    Check out all of our all inclusive kits here.  Today is the last day of the kit sale!
