WHY did I wait so long???

With the Color Renovation last year, one of the first things I noticed in the new Stampin' Up! catalogue was the new Color Coach. I had their original version and while I used it occasionally, when it retired, I wasn't sure if I really needed to buy the new one.

I talked to a couple friends/fellow demonstrators who had purchased the new one and they RAVED about how amazing it was. I finally decided to order it...and oh.my.gosh...WHY did I wait so long??? It is the best color tool E.V.E.R.! Unlike the older version, this one has a large "color chip" (2-3/4" x 4-1/2")for every single color that Stampin' Up! offers on a removable metal post fastener. On the color cards, one side shows the color (along with name and color family).  Click the pics for a closer peek. :)



The other side lists coordinating colors and great color combinations that work well with that individual color.



This makes it SOOO easy to put a project together knowing the colors will all go well together!

For the following card, I just flipped through and choose four colors I liked and felt worked well together.  It was SO easy to mix and match with my color coach instead of digging out stacks of cardstock!  The colors I chose were Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Tempting Turquoise & Regal Rose.


There are even a few blank cards at the back so you can record your own favorite color combinations!

If you have any questions regarding our new color coach or would like to order one for yourself, let me know!


Happy Stamping!
