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.

  • Retro style circles layout; super easy! Catch the Live video tonight!


    Tonight at 7:30 pm Central Time I'm sharing how to make these retro style circle cards on Facebook Live.  Click here to join me.   You can also see this video below!

    Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout.  Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two. 

    Watch how on my FB Live replay!

    Measurements:

    • 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
    • 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
    • 1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
    • Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles. 

    You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper.  Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP. 


    Products used:

    • Designer papers – Heartwarming Hugs, new Classic Christmas & Snowflake Splendor
    • Stamps – Tree Angle, Snowflake Wishes & Curvy Christmas
    • Colors – Real Red & Olive, Seaside Spray & Night of Navy, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler

  • Curvy Christmas & the Postage Punch


    Check out this easy card using the new Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Postage Punch!  

    It's super simple! Here's how I made it:

    1. Stamp the curvy trees image on the White CS using Shaded Spruce ink.  Color the trees with a Light Shaded Spruce Blends marker.  Add a tiny star using Cherry Cobbler ink on one tree. Adhere it to the Cherry Cobbler layer and to the main card.
    2. Punch out three pieces of Classic Christmas designer paper with the Postage Punch seen here.  Adhere to the White CS. 
    3. Stamp the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink on a 1/2" strip of White CS.  Punch the ends with the Banners Pick a Punch. Add it to the card with mini dimensionals. 
    4. Finish with a few Holiday rhinestones. 

    You can see this stamp set here; it's only available through January 4th.  And the Classic Christmas Designer Paper is here while supplies last. 

    Remember that everyone who orders any of these products or places an online order with me in November will receive a free 22 project PDF tutorial featuring the Curvy Celebration products!

  • Gift Wrapped Box Fold Card with video


    Check out this cute Christmas card we made at my October Card Clubs!  It's a box fold card; a super cute but easy fun fold. 

    The colors are Real Red with Granny Apple Green & White. The dies on the front are the Stitched Shapes and Hippos & Friends.

    It even folds flat for mailing!  As you can see the back is similar to the front; leaving some space to write or sign the card.  

    I used the Gift Wrapped punch bundle from the Holiday catalog.  You can see it here. 

    Check out the video and measurements below. 

    Here's the video: 

     

    Measurements:

    Real Red 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2", 7", 9" and 10 1/2"
    Granny Apple Green 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" (2 pieces) plus scrap for die-cut
    Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" (2 pieces) plus scrap for circle die-cut and bow
