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.

  • Stunning cards in the Thoughtful Journey kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial


    I couldn't wait to play and create with the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I think scenic paper like this makes card making a breeze!  I decided to make each card a fancy fold too. 

    I design my kit around the paper and added supplies so all you need to add is stamped greetings. I chose to use the So Sincere set this time; which you can add on at a discount. 

    This incredibly beautiful designer paper is filled with watercolor scenes and backgrounds making is super easy to create with. 

    Opt in for the card kit to go by June 18th; supplies may be limited. The PDF tutorial will be emailed to you immediately after payment; check your spam folder. The pre-cut kit is mailed at the end of June.

  • Frames & Flowers card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial. Limited quantity available!


    I was so excited when I saw the Frames & Flowers designer paper in the new catalog. It has multiple sheets of pre-cut elements that coordinate with the paper.  This makes it so easy to create with as you don't have to stamp or die-cut additional pieces. 

    Here are the pretty cards included in the pre-cut kit for June:

  • Spotlight on Nature fun fold card; free project sheet & video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the second card I created on last week's Live video.  Both feature new in colors and the Spotlight on Nature bundle. 

    I created a free project sheet with the measurements, photos and supplies.  Click on the blue link to print or download it. Download Spotlight on Nature flap fold

    The Spotlight on Nature bundle is out of stock right now but will be back in a few weeks. It is discounted an extra 10% in June for a savings of almost $6. See it here.  

    This card really shows off the two embossing folders I used.  On the card below I used the Dotted Circles 3D folder seen here. It's an extra large folder (6" X 8 1/2") that has very deep texture.  It's Shy Shamrock with Pretty in Pink. The designer paper is the Unbounded Beauty. 

    The card below features the Eyelet 3D folder which is quite pretty & delicate. See it here. This card is Petunia Pop with Shy Shamrock. 

    Do you notice the difference in the greetings?  I fussy cut one to add to the In Color Glimmer paper and the other I simply trimmed the ends at an angle. 

    I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  I also share another fun fold card using this bundle. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're there.
