Stampin’ Up! Colors

Color History and 2023 Color Refresh

Card Stock

I usually use 8 1/2″ x 11″ and it’s stored in wooden file drawers on wheels. I store it alphabetically. The file tabs have the color name printed on clear labels stuck on pieces of that color card stock. I’ve been trying to design cards to make the best use of the paper for fewer scraps and try to use the scraps whenever I can.

Card Stock Sampler: Any punch or die will do. Punch each color you own and apply the label. Punch a small hole at the same location on each piece. Keep them on a key ring and hang nearby. If you want to match a color or see what colors look great together, just reach for your sampler.  You could also use these labels for your card stock storage. I am using the bottom inch to label my Ink Pad Storage by Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Spots Labels

22-23 Stampin’ Spots Labels in English, French, & German Print 2 copies. I print on card stock. Adhere one to the top and one to the bottom.

22-23 Stampin Spots Storage This is an experiment. You can stack Stampin’ Spots, but I like having the organized as if on a palette. I printed the storage cards and taped them to cardboard. I added a layer of Window Sheet. Then I put Velcro dots under the Stampin’ Spots and on the storage card. If you try them too, please let me know what you think.

21-22 Stampin’ Spots Labels in English, French, or German

20-21 Stampin’ Spots Labels in English, French, and German for all 50 colors plus blanks to make your own for retired colors. Suggestion: Print two so you can put one label on the bottom and one on the top.

Sponge Daubers

I keep my Sponge Daubers organized in this box. Then just print out the file and fold it at the top line of the color box. Cut around the color box through both layers. Adhere the layers together and adhere to the top of the box.  The top right dauber will match the top right color, Real Red.

Be sure to store your daubers with the sponge side down so they don’t color your chart.

22-23 Sponge Dauber Box insert Print on card stock. Fold. Adhere to the inside lid of a sponge dauber box. There are 40 sections to fit the sponge daubers, so no room for the In Colors. I use a dauber for a similar color and daub off as much extra ink as I can.

(See the video on AutoCorrect and RGB Codes below for further explanation.)

The Dauber Box charts can also be used to compare the older colors.  Be mindful though… the colors may not be true.  Computers vary in the way they show colors and printers often print differently than what the computer shows.

Custom Color Chart:

• I keep this chart posted nearby. Have you ever typed in Word and the computer fixes your typos? You can add to that list! In Word 2010, go to Options> Proofing> AutoCorrect Options to add these corrections. Now when I type “MMAM” my computer automatically changes it to Melon Mambo and if I type “SU” it changes it to Stampin’ Up! You’ll see those AutoCorrect codes on the chart. I’ve also got the RGB codes so if I want to color a shape or text to match Stampin’ Up! colors I just go to More Colors and Custom Colors and enter those RGB codes. I’ve added the HEX codes this year too. Using custom colors can be quite cumbersome, but if you’re just using a few they will show up as recent colors.
• 2022 Color Chart with RGB and AutoCorrect I just found out Stampin’ Up! does not want us to provide the Hex codes to our customers. I’m hoping it’s OK to provide the RGB colors since I was able to get them with Adobe Photoshop.

Retired Inserts Starting with symbols and numbers

One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! is the coordination with our Classic Stampin’ Pads®, Stampin’ Write Markers, the card stock, the Designer Series Paper, and the ribbons and other embellishments! You can help your stamp pads and markers last for a very long time if you get the ink refills. I always buy the ink refill when I buy the stamp pads.

Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill™, Re-inker, refill ink… It’s known by many names.

Refill ink is fantastic for refilling stamp pads and  so much more!

• Color card stock directly from ink pad to paper
• Use just like watercolors for painting
• Add a few drops in a Spritzer with water or alcohol to spray color with or without a decorative mask
• Dye white (or light colored) ribbon. Sample project
• Fold a moist wipe and add a few drops of two or three colors for a temporary multi-color ink pad.
• Add a few drops to embossing paste. Sample project
• Fill a plate with shaving cream (foamy) and add a few drops of ink. Swirl with a stirring stick or spoon. Press card stock into it for a marbled pattern. Sample project
• Use it to color wood. Sample project
• Fill uninked Stampin’ Spots to make your own mini stamp pads.
• Put a drop on a piece of plastic and pick up some of the ink with a Blender Pen
• You can refill the Stampin’ Write Markers too!

This video shows how to refill the ink pads and the Stampin’ Write Markers. And here is a link for those replacement brush tips.

If you’re quick, you may still be able to buy the retiring colors, but those go pretty quickly! You will need to wait until May 2nd to buy products in those new lovely colors (or join now to buy them today) but here is a link for all the ink refills available now. Don’t worry, you will be able to take things out of the cart or add more, if you’d like.
