The Color Coach is back!

If you struggle with coordinating colors the Color Coach can help.  It provides multiple ways to find the perfect combinations.

The Color Coach is Stampin' Up!'s version of the color wheel and is based on color theory—the combination of art and science that determines what colors look good together.

One side of the Color Coach has all current Stampin’ Up! colors (except Neutrals) laid out with a spinning wheel in the center. This center wheel gives you monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic information about our colors. The back explains each of these concepts, plus our range of neutral colors.

It's $12.50 and can be seen here. 

For example who would think Pretty Peacock and Pumpkin Pie would go together so well?  They're on the edge of complimentary colors but work wonderfully!

Below is a sample of an Analogous color combination.  SU created designer papers with shades of similar colors using our Full of Life DSP in the Annual Catalog.

Have a great weekend!

• A few favorite craft storage tips

  December 27, 2024

  ---

  I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to store my stamping products.  Some people enjoy organizing more than creating! 

  First is how I store my stamp sets.  In a dresser drawer.  I purchased a few dressers from IKEA many years ago and they've held up very well despite multiple moves.  

  Save

  Here's a photo of my craft studio.  I am very, very lucky to have such a beautiful room in our home for my business and classes. 

   

  Here's how I store my 8 1/2" X 11" card stock and paper scraps.  In front of each color of card stock I keep a cello bag for the scraps in that color. I've used this method for years and it really helps me use my scraps.

  Save

  Next is how I store my 12 X 12" designer paper and scrapbook pages. 

  Save

  It's a shoe storage cabinet! My 12 X 12" paper fits like it was made just for it!  You can get two stacks side by side in it since it's about 30" wide.    Plus it has a divider to fit even more paper above it.  I love the way the doors hinge open.  There are three doors and it's only about a foot deep.

  Lastly here's how I store my inks, markers and ribbon. These are Stampin' Up! storage and they're fully customizable to fit what you need.  Click here to see the options. 

  Save

  I love that it fits right on my work area for easy reach. As you can see I organize my inks in rainbow order. I'm not sure why my Blends aren't but I know my granddaughter will love to do that for me this week while she's here.
