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.

  • Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

    We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World.  We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!  

    I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow. 

    This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room:

    Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

    This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there.  A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

    The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.

  • Fantastic Team swaps with Botanical Textures suite

    Today I have three fantastic swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team; all featuring the Botanical Textures suite from our online store.  Did you know we have a huge selection of items that are not seen in any printed catalog?  They're called Online Exclusives and you can see them all here.  

    This first card was made by Kim for her Card Club swap.  I had to share it with you because I thought it was so neat.  She used Black, White and Lemon Lime Twist. 

    Botanical Textures Kim P Save

    Her stamped images are from the Textured Notes stamp set.  The cute hexagon gems are new and seen in our 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  

    Next is a fabulous fancy fold card made by Rita. She also used this same Botanical Textures DSP along with Petunia Pop card stock. 

    May Rita Botanical Save

    She used the Bright Borders stamp set and the To the Point punch. This punch has been out of stock for months!  I hope it comes back soon.  It is expected around June 2nd. 

    Here's the view when it's open: 

    May Rita Botanical Save

    The card base is 11" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7".  Then it's trimmed horizontally at 1" from the upper and lower edges but only from the 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" score lines. 

    The DSP is 6 3/4" X 5 1/4".  

    It looks like she adhered the DSP and then cut the slits open with a paper trimmer.  So cool!  No difficulty measuring your layers  when you do it this way.

    Lastly today is Ginny's card made with the Woven Textures DSP and the Textured Notes bundle.  I love these products; one of my favorites from the online store!

    May Ginny Woven Textures Save

    Her colors include Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  She used five different dies from the Textured Notes dies!  I especially like the frame in the center, highlighting that pretty DSP.  

    Below is the inside view stamped with textural images from the Textured Notes stamp set.
