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.

  • Another sweet card with Wildflower Birthday & Labeled with Love


    Here's one more card featuring the beautiful Wildflower Birthday specialty DSP. 

    I changed up just a few things from the card I shared yesterday to make a totally new fun fold card.  Here I used Soft Sea Foam as my card base with Pretty in Pink and Blueberry Bushel accents.  

    I used the Labeled with Love stamp set & coordinating punch.  Unfortunately this stamp set just sold out; it was on the Last Chance/retired list. 

    Here's what it looks like opened.  

    Measurements:

    • card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 3 1/4" X 2 5/8"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP – left panel 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", cakes panel 3" X 2 3/8"

    And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.

  • Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I'm excited to share this card with you today.  

    It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before.  With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.  

    I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards.  It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil.  It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating.  See it here. 

    I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here. 

    Here's how the cards look fully opened.  For greetings I used the So Sincere which is retiring & Simply Said which is carrying over. 

    There's a free project sheet with measurements, photos, supplies list and directions.  Click on the following link to print or download it.  Remember these project sheets can be used as a starting point with whatever products you own! Download Wildflower Birthday April Club

    This stamp set just sold out but the Labeled with Love punch is carrying over into the new catalog.  


    And here's the video below. Besides this card I created another similar card with just a few adjustments to the original.
