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.

  • Last day of FREE shipping! More Team card swaps too


    Today is the last day of the free shipping promotion; don't miss out on the savings! 

    Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month.  The theme was to feature plaid. 

    Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel.  Wow!  He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks!  See it here.  

    I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves.  Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather.  The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.  

    Measurements:

    • card base 10 3/4" X 5 1/2" sc0re at 1 5/8", 3 1/4", 7 1/2" & 9"
    • left panel 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"; right panel 2 7/8" X 3 7/8"
    • purple side panels 1 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • left 'plaid' panel is 2 3/8" X 3 3/8"; right panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"

    Next is an adorable fun fold made by Lori.  


    Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card. 

    She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.  

    And it opens yet one more time!  I love how she added details to every layer on each side.   Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.  

    Measurements:

    • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", checkered flap is 4 3/4" X 1 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

  • Look at these wonderful Plaid Themed card swaps


    I'm excited to share these fabulous swap cards by my Flowerbug's Team today.  Our theme was to use plaid in some way on our cards. 

    Jacki made this unique card with the Timeless Plaid DSP.  

    She cut three pieces of Timeless Plaid DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then cut them into even pieces and added her sentiment between them.  I love the simple addition of the twine on the upper left.  She used the new Secret Sea with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.  

    Paula made this gorgeous card also using the Timeless Plaid DSP.  

    She also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and the Textured Notes dies and the Wishing You bundle. I love her color combo; it really shows off the pretty colors in the DSP.  Look at the ribbon threaded through the die-cut edges!  Her colors include Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. 

    Candy made this gorgeous card using the Twisted in Time stamp set. 

    She also used the Textured Notes dies and the Plaid embossing folder.  Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Basic Beige and Early Espresso. 

    More swaps coming tomorrow!  

    Do NOT forget about the free shipping promotion through Friday!
