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.

  • Double Flap fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video.  It's a double flap fold card featuring the Sunrise Sailing bundle.

    The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight.  

    I created a mask for the sun with a 1 7/8" circle punched from a post-it note. I used blending brushes & Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight inks. I also added just a hint of Strawberry Slush ink on the bottom of the cloud die-cuts. 

    The Designer Paper is our new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper seen here.  

    I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. There are THREE different size sailboats in the dies!  

    As you can see in the sample in the photo below you can make a card with just the embossing folder! 

    You can see in the photo below how the front square flap lifts to the right to reveal a peek at the inside. I added the cloud to the back of this square and placed it so it could 'latch' on the larger cloud to hold the card closed.   

    I create a free project sheet for this card. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .       Download Sunrise Sailing Latch card

    You can see the card fully opened below.  I love this easy but fun card fold.


    You'll find the video tutorial for this card and another Sailing card below. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you're watching!  

    I'll share another card with this bundle on Wednesday.

  • Beautiful Sunrise Sailing card with multiple techniques and free project sheet


    Today is the last day of the June Specials:

    Today I'm sharing one of my June Club cards.  It's super fun to make because we did multiple techniques.

    I showcased the Sunrise Sailing bundle seen here.  I love the stamp images AND the dies in this bundle.  They're wonderful and really spark creativity. 

    My colors include Pool Party, White and Pecan Pie. The Hybrid embossing folder in this bundle allows you to get a textured sailboat – you can cut & texture all at once!  Watch the video to see how it's done.  

    Notice the textured clouds in the sky. I rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly on the textured Pool Party card stock.  I show how in the video below.  I also added Pool Party ink to the textured waves on the bottom of the card using a blending brush. 

    Look at the loop of Linen Thread on the greeting above.  This was a fun & easy way to add something else that is a bit nautical. 

    I create a free project sheet for my Card Clubs each month and then share it with you once I do the video tutorial. I also share it on the same day as my video on my Flowerbug's Stamp & Share FB group here .
