Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video

May 2, 2024

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.

A cute Spooky Halloween cards

October 3, 2025
I created this special card using the Spooky Halloween suite. I absolutely love this scene!

Save

I used the largest circle die in the Spotlight on Nature dies to create the mask around the large moon. I blended Petunia Pop ink onto a piece of White card stock. Then added the yellow die-cut moon. Next I sponged Secret Sea ink on the upper portion of the card.
Lastly I added a curvy hills (cut with a scissors) and the die-cut house and fence pieces from the bundle.

Check out those sparkly stars and die-cut bat! I heat embossed the word ‘spooky’ with White embossing powder and then colored the embossing purple with a Blends marker.

My colors are Black, White & Gold. I used multiple sheets of the Modern Christmas Designer paper. Notice that some of the trees are raised. I fussy cut a section from the designer paper and added it over a die-cut circle of another set of trees. I layered that onto a Black die-cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Finally I added one of the new gold hoops around it all. Tip: adhere the gold hoops with tiny dashes of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Works great!
