Color Chip Sample Cards

I made these color chip sample cards to show the wide variety of colors that Stampin' Up! offers. The catalog photographs look amazing! However, seeing the colors in person is ever better!

I hang the color chip sample cards by my desk, so I can refer to them when choosing color combinations for projects. I also take them with me to workshops and demonstrations so that customers can see and feel the quality of the cardstock and the inks.  

I created a template to display samples of each of the color collections when I joined in 2013. As I purchased each of the colors, I punched a 1/2" circle from the corresponding cardstock, stamped the ink, and a drew a squiggle with the marker. I punched the corner with a 1/4" hand held circle punch and placed all of the cards on a metal binder ring. Because this was during the color re-do, some of the colors retired and some of the colors switched color collections. My color chip sample cards no longer matched the current color collections.

I recently redid all of the color chip sample cards with the current Stampin' Up! colors. I even made sets for my aunts and my mom. I included the 2016-2018 In Colors! Can you see the last card in the photo above? Aren't they bright, summery, fun colors!?! You are going to love them! I can't wait for June's 2016-2017 Annual Catalog Release!!

Download the template here. As your color collection grows, add a sample of each color. Keep your cards handy when creating new color combinations and designing projects.
