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.

I have two more fabulous swap cards to share with you from our September Team swaps. My Flowerbug's are so talented and creative.

Paula made a Waterfall card! These are not difficult but a bit intimidating maybe…. I shared a FB Live video here on how to make one.

She featured the Scary Cute bundle seen here as well as the Black & White designs DSP here. The colors are Black, White & Gorgeous Grape.

Save

She also used the Blossoming Happiness dies for her bottom border so she'd have a spot to add the Orchid Oasis 1/8" metallic ribbon for the pull.

Save

Measurements:
- Black card 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Basic Gray strip 5 1/2" X 1 1/4", waterfall strip is 2 1/2" X 10" scored at 5 1/4", 6", 6 3/4" & 7 1/2"
- Gorgeous Grape squares are 2 1/2"
- White squares are 2 1/4"
- DSP is 4" X 5 1/4"
Here's a peak of the last inside panel with the die-cut & spooky scene. She stamped the greeting on the long inside strip.

Save

Again, if you want to know how to make one of these waterfall cards check out my video here.

Next is a colorful Halloween card made by Sharon using this same bundle. She also added stamps from the Best Witches & Bewitching stamp sets.

Save

Her colors include Rich Razzleberry, Parakeet Party, Black & Daffodil Delight. She used the Deckle dies for her front layers and inside as well.

Save

Here's a photo of this cute bundle. Click on it to see it in my store.

I hope you're enjoying these card swaps and getting inspired by them too! There's lots more to come!!

My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous! I shouldn't be surprised at this point!

Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.

Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here. Look at her amazing coloring!

Save

The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog. She used Blends markers for her coloring. Love that face!

The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog. The circles are from the Layering Circles dies.

It's also a fun fold 'latch' card! Here's the inside view:

Measurements:
- Highland Heather: Card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Side flap is3 1/2" square
- Black: 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" & 2" X 5 1/4"
- DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
- White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.

Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here. Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back! I just love her playful circles layout!

Save

She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green. She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.

The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!

Save

Measurements:
- Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border
- White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
- Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!
Save

Don't you agree that these cards are amazing!? I'm so proud to share the creativity of my Flowerbug's Team! More to come tomorrow!

I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live. It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!

Save

I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received. It's called Spooky Treats. I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit. I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

Save

The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

Here are the measurements:
- Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
- Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
- DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”
For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie. The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

Save

This Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit is still available while supplies last! You can choose between the full kit here for $20.50 or the refill here (without the stamp set & ink) for $11.

Save

You have a few choices when purchasing Paper Pumpkin. You can subscribe to get one kit each month here. Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here. You can choose from a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription.
