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.

My colors include Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and a little Old Olive with White. This card was pretty instinctive; hanging wisteria is the first thing that comes to mind. There are a few tricks I used to alter the leaves die-cuts though. I trimmed off a few extra pieces to fit the stamped images better. You can see what I did in the video below.

This bundle is super versatile! I made two more cards in the video plus shared a bunch of swap card ideas as well. You might be inspired to purchase it once you see them all!

Get great ideas with the Last bunch of the amazing In Color card swaps!

June 17, 2022

I've shared my Flowerbugs Team In Color card swaps the last few days and today is the last bunch. I hope you're been enjoying them. They really are the best stampers!

The guidelines for this month's Team swap was to use at least 2 new In Colors on our card.

This first one was made by Candace who used 4 out of 5 of the new In Colors! Look at this fun layout!

Save

She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here. Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky. Super cute!

Next up is an adorable card made by Deloris who used the Sweet Songbird bundle.

Save

She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves. I love this sweet bundle!

Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky.

Save

I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally. What a fun card layout this is!

I hope you've enjoyed all of the card ideas with our newest In Color cards. See the first set here and the second here.

June 16, 2022
Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more.

The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A. This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4". The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card. The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4".

Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Next up – Annette used the same stamp set; 'Nothing's Better Than'. It coordinates with the Love you More Than dies. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet and Black with just a bit of Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Orchid Oasis for her coloring.

She textured her Sweet Sorbet designer paper with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.

Next is a fun fold card made by Marilyn featuring the Cup of Tea bundle.  Her main colors include Starry Sky and Parakeet Party.
