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.

  • Easiest Shake Card Ever; plus the quickest Christmas cards you can make!!


    Have you wanted to make a shaker card but didn't want to deal with the Foam Adhesive and window sheets?  Well I have a solution for you!  Use a clear envelope!  Yes; it works beautifully!

    I used one of the Wonder of the Season cards, cutting it down to 4" X 5 1/4" and adding another layered strip.  I then inserted it into one of our clear envelopes (seen here) and folded the excess to the back, securing it with Tear & Tape.  Then I added some Sequins for Everything and sealed it up.  It's adhered to a Real Red card base and the greeting is adhered to the front. 

    The stamps are from the Tag Buffet stamp set. 

    You can watch how I did this in the video below; it's one of the first projects. 

    In the video I also shared the Wonder of the Season Memories & More projects.  These cards are beautiful and filled with gold & red foil accents.  I love these because they are super quick & easy!  All I added were some Red rhinestones!  No stamping or extra card stock!  

    Here are a few I made:

    Remember I only used three products on these!  All you need are the cards (seen here) and the cards & envelopes (seen here) and Red Rhinestones.

    You can use the 3 X 4" cards for the pretty card bases so the foil accents show.  Or flip the front to the inside and use the larger 4" X 6" cards on the front.  This way you can still see that pretty foil on the inside! 

    Watch the video below to see these projects & more!

  • Video with Stampin’ Up! Stitched Dies for some easy WOW cards!


    Look at these fun and unique cards made with the Stitched Triangle dies!  

    Aren't they neat?  Our Stitched dies are quite versatile and can be used in a variety of ways as you can see! 

    I used the Well Said stamp set, Well Written & Stitched Triangle dies.  The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" and the Vellum ¾" X 4”

    These cards were created on last week's FB Live video.  If you're not following me yet here's the link to my FB page.  Be sure to like & follow so you catch them every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT.  

    Check out the Stitched Rectangle cards below.  I cut all of the Playful Patterns Designer Paper layers at the same time using just 2 dies.  

    How did I do it?  Start out with a piece measuring 5 1/4" X 4" and choose the 3rd & 6th dies from the outside.  Perfect layers! 

    I then layered the Designer Paper with card stock and added a die-cut greeting from the Best Year stamp set. 

    Supplies & Measurements:

    • Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, & Calypso Coral
    • Tasteful Label dies, Detailed Bands dies, rhinestones
    • DSP – 5 ¼” X 4”, and cut with dies at 3 ¾” X 3” & 3 1/8” X 1 ¾”
    • CS – 4 5/8” X 3 ¼” and 3 3/8” X 2”
