Color Theory Made Easy!

The new Annual Catalog is live and filled with inspiration! Several people have reached out about how different this new catalog is compared to past Stampin’ Up! catalogs.  I agree, it is different. And I’ll admit I am not one who always likes change. I have to say there are things that I love about this new catalog and there are things I am going to have to get used to. The more I look through it the more things I find to appreciate. My best tip is check the Index in the back! I open to that first and decide where I need to go to find what I’m looking for. You can click on the image below to view the catalog online.

One of my favorite things in the new catalog can be found on page 132.

This is a wonderful resource! I love how this color wheel shows Stampin’ Up! colors! If you follow my blog, you know I just wrapped up a series on color. I went through the alphabet sharing color comparisons and color inspiration with Stampin’ Up! colors from A-Z. I had so much fun exploring different colors and combinations. You can view my ABC COLOR series under categories (along the side bar). Click on the dropdown menu and select ABC COLOR. (You’ll also see my other ABC Series if you are looking for more inspiration.) *If you are reading this in your email you’ll need to click on the blog post title to view my blog online to see the categories menu.

Color is at the heart of crafting! From color wheels to color families, you can be a color explorer and try something new. Plus, discover our new 2024–2026 In Colors and add them to your collection.

On page 133 in the catalog you will find a great visual for selecting colors. I love this!!! It’s like hitting the EASY button!

*Note-Throughout the catalog you will notice a mini color wheel above some of the samples indicating the color combo chosen. Another cool feature of this new catalog!

What’s your favorite or most used way to combine colors? Do you like monochromatic, complementary, analogous, or triadic? I would love to hear from you! Leave a comment below and share your favorite color combo. I am a big fan of monochromatic! I also tend to choose analogous and complementary. I have to say triadic is probably the colors I chose the least. I’d use those colors more for kids cards. That’s just me/my style. One of the posts I shared during my ABC Color Series was on Color Buddies. If you missed that post, you can view it HERE.

I have some color resources to share with you that I love and use! First, is the Color Coach. The Color Coach includes cards with sample color combinations for the Stampin’ Up! Colors:

• Stampin’ Up! Color Coach – NEW 2024 colors

I cut the color coach apart and adhere it on the back of a 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 color swatch. I organize them on a binder ring by rainbow color. I update each year with the new In Colors. This is one of my most used tools when creating!

The next color resource is a chart which keeps my inventory handy. Click below to view/print.
