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.

Thursday is the last day; crazy Kits Collection BOGO deals!

June 29, 2022

Have you tried any of our current Kit Collection kits yet? Check them out here ASAP. Tomorrow is the last day of the BOGO promotion.

I demo'd them on last week's Live so you could see how wonderful they are. Click here to watch.

How does the BOGO work?

It's quite unusual in that the second kit at 50% off can be the more expensive one.

Such as; buy one for $12 and get a second kit at $20-25 at half off! Crazy but true!

The first kit I'm sharing is the Light the Candles kit seen here. It includes everything you need to complete these 8 cards.

I love how bright & colorful this kit is and the dimensional strips are easy to use. The cute glittery prints are quite eye catching.

These kits are 'all inclusive' which means everything is supplied for you. Many include the ink and stamps and others have pre-printed sentiments with no stamping needed. There's something for every taste or need. Click here to see them all.

The Robot Buddies kit is perfect for kids. It has a neat robot stamp set in it and includes TWO ink spots! too.

Save

Click here to see all of the 17 kits available! Remember these change frequently. If they run out of stock they usually come back. They say they'll be available (while supplies last) for a year after they're introduced.

You can get a share of this pretty designer paper in my Annual Catalog paper share. I still have a few spots left! Message me here Details are at the bottom of this post.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Polished Pink & Balmy Blue. The pretty die-cut flowers are all from the Awash in Beauty designer paper. The Organic Beauty dies are designed perfectly to match the DSP! The only stamping I did here are the two greetings; all of the flowers are die-cut from either card stock or DSP.

Do you see the little bit of color on the Pink blossom die-cut? I used Wink of Stella and my White craft ink to add color. Watch the video below to see how.
