More Color Combinations from Under the Mistletoe

I love to collect and use Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers. What a great way to find inspiration for our projects! The colors and patterns pair perfectly with other products we love. Over the past several months, I have shared cards that showcase the patterns and colors in Stampin’ Up!’s Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper, a pack of Christmas-themed papers in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. I’m excited to share a bit more about the papers today.

I often pull my colors right from the Designer Series Papers as a starter. That’s a huge benefit of our Designer Series Papers – they are designed with the amazing shades in our color families, so the pair perfectly with our cardstock, inks and accessories. Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper:

The mix of plaids and fun images are perfect for Christmas-themed projects, but some can also be used at other times of the year. This pack of papers includes Early Espresso, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. Such a gorgeous collection!

Inspiration

Here are some cards I’ve made with the pages from Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper (you can click on the photo to read the original post about each project):

There are so many ways to use these versatile papers, don’t you think? Today I’m going to share a couple more suggestions for pulling these colors right from the patterns in the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper.

Straight from the Papers

These colors are combined from the colors exclusively in this pack of Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper: 

Combined with Other Colors

By adding one other color to the shades in these patterns, you can really transform the feel of the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper.  Here are some color combinations starters that feature two colors from this pack of papers and one color from outside the pack:

By limiting the colors you’ll use in a project (or expanding the colors to those outside a pack of papers), you can really find some beautiful color combinations for our projects.

The Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper is featured in the Under the Mistletoe Suite of products in Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog. To see all of the items that are part of the Under the Mistletoe Suite, click on the image below:
