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.

  • Easy 8 Card Wonder with Christmas Season

    Last month my local gals made these cards at class.  It's made with my Easy 8 Card Wonder template.  I just love creating my own designer paper with our gorgeous colors and stamped images!  It's one of my favorite things to create.

    I chose to use these colors: Old Olive, Early Espresso, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze & Bermuda Bay.

    The stamps include Little Delights, Sparkle of the Season, Thinking, Thanks & Peace; all from the 2021 Holiday Catalog. 

    I stamped an entire 8 1/2" X 11" piece of White card stock using the Christmas Season stamp set.  On the reverse side of this is the printed template so I know just where to cut each piece!

  • Sparkle of the Season cards & box; it would make a wonderful gift!

    I had to get the Sparkle of the Season bundle right away.  It is perfect for many, many occasions and these wreath dies were one of the options I gave Stampin' Up! for one of my Million Dollar stamp set ideas. You can see it on page 58 of the Holiday catalog; or click here to see it online.

    The 4 cards & envelopes fit in the Kraft Gift Box perfectly.  Details on this box below; or click here.

    I used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set for a few of the greetings here.  Other products used were: 

    • Cork & Kraft paper in the Holiday catalog
    • Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Soft Succulent, Vanilla & Evening Evergreen CS
    • Inks – Versamark, Crumb Cake
    • Metallic pearls & Artistry Sequins, Banners Pick a Punch, Vanilla envelopes, Circles Collection dies
    • clear embossing powder & Heat Tool

    Isn't Pool Party beautiful with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede?  And our new Cork paper is amazing; thin but with beautiful texture.

    I bet you're wondering where this card box is from.  It's quite hidden in the Holiday catalog in my opinion.  See it here or on page 11 or 75.  There are 10 in a package and they already have adhesives on the flaps! They fit our A2 cards & envelopes perfectly!  Get 10 for $10. I heat embossed leaves on it for added texture.  Check out the video below for my tip on masking the window.

    The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!
