I wanted to figure out a way to REALLY get to know ALL of the new Stampin' UP! colors.. so I started by looking at each color group in the rainbow and making the cards below!
I used all of the colors minus the neutral grays, tans, browns and black.
I hope you find this look at the Stampin' Up! "color rainbow" helpful!
Step 1: Buy the assortment packs of cardstock from each color family (available 6/1/18 to customers)
Step 2: Cut all packs in 1/2 for card bases, and cut the other halves into 1/4 sheets.
Step 3: Check out which colors seem to be in the same "rainbow" color groups. Make piles.
Step 4: Create cards with all of the Stampin' UP! colors in "rainbow order" using the Painted Glass stamp set (rainbow), Love What You Do set (greeting), Rooted in Nature set (leaf and branch), White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon, and the stitched shape framelits and Layering Oval Framelits.
For this exercise, I wanted to see how each of the color groups worked together within their own color group.

Patty ! Your color presentation was so much fun . I am also a COLOR JUNKIE !!
I will be making up some examples of my own .
Thank you for the inspiration !
What a great idea Patty! Thank you for the replay of the Facebook post. I agree it is a great way to learn the new colors and it helps me with trying new color combos. I very much enjoy your blog
Wow!!! This is a great way to see how to use the colors together. It is the best color study or helper I have seen. Thank you for sharing this with us. I think I will be downloading the pictures and printing them off on photo paper to keep handy in my stamping area. Also thank you for the card layout and ideas.
Those were some awesome tips, thank you so much for sharing Patty! I love the idea of using the little 2×8 bags for housing the color families at a glance. SO much faster than laminating!! I am planning to order all the color families, so I can mix and match colors and really see how they look in real life next to each other. It was also really fun seeing your original demo kit order and the old order forms. I wasn’t familiar with Stampin’ Up! that far back, but I did have orders that were pre-online and it’s fun to look back at the old days 🙂 Have a wonderful long weekend!
