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.
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.
I used the same colors of Shaded Spruce & Blueberry Bushel but chose the Springtime Scenes bundle instead. The images and die-cuts are all from the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here.
You always earn 10% on your SU purchases but for 3 days you’ll earn 20%! That can mean a nice bonus if you’re spending a bit.
Because the Last Chance list has recently been updates you can combine these two promotions to save money and earn rewards. I love this promo!! Don’t miss out on these retiring items!
Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial
I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.
The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.
The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.
This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:
The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.
Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:
It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.
My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.
Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.
