Stampin’ Up! Rainbow Colors

Spring is a perfect time to create projects with all of the colors of the rainbow – with the mix of rain and sunshine during April showers, there’s a great likelihood we’ll catch a rainbow sometime in the next month. Yay!

There are so many ways to combine Stampin’ Up! colors to recreate the colors of the rainbow. Using the ROYGBIV acronym from our middle school Earth science class (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), I created four suggestions for building a rainbow with current Stampin’ Up! colors. I’m also sharing some rainbow-themed projects I hope you love.


Rainbow Color Combinations

If you are looking for a bright and cheery rainbow, here’s a good combination of colors (most of these colors are pulled from the Brights collection of colors):

Bright & Bold Rainbow Colors, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingIf you want a softer rainbow (maybe you want to create a baby card or a thinking of you card), you’ll want to reach for the some of these colors (mostly from the Subtles collection of colors):

Soft & Subtle Rainbow Colors, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingAnd maybe you want a sophisticated rainbow with rich, Fall-like colors (most of these shades are pulled from the Regals collection of colors):

Rich & Regal Rainbow Colors, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingJust for fun, I pulled colors from all of the color families to make this collection of rainbow colors that’s perfect for almost any project:

If you’ve been eyeing this bundle, now’s the time to snatch it up! Not only are you $4.25 away from a free Sale-a-Bration item, but you also save on the bundled pricing. Remember – even if this stamp set and dies carry over to the 2018 Annual Catalog, the bundled pricing will go away at the end of this catalog.


Rainbow Cards

While I’m sharing color suggestions for rainbow cards, I thought it would be fun to look back at some projects I’ve shared with rainbows. You can click on any of these projects to see the colors I used or to read more about each project:
