More Color Combinations with Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper

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. Since the Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper debuted with Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2020 Mini Catalog, I have shared many projects that showcase different pages in this pack of papers. I love this pack of papers! The pages are great for Spring and any kind of card you want to make (birthday, thank yous and even sympathy). I’m excited to share a bit more about this pack of 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 the Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

The flip side showcases universal patterns that can be used for any project. This is such a versatile pack of papers. The colorful pack includes Basic Gray, Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy and Whisper White.

I’ve used this paper more than I thought I had – it’s easy because there are so many gorgeous pages in this pack of papers. They can be really fun to work with – especially when you add other colors to the colors found in the paper.  Today I’m going to share a couple more suggestions for pulling these colors right from the patterns in the Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers.

Straight from the Papers

These colors are combined from the colors exclusively in this pack of the Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Purple Posy, Lovely Lipstick, Blackberry Bliss Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Old Olive, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray

Combined with Other Colors

By adding one other color to the shades in these papers, you can really transform the feel of the pages – or create all new combinations with inspiration from the paper. Here are some color combinations starters that feature two colors from this pack of papers and one color from outside the pack:

Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Old Olive Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Old Olive, Pretty Peacock, Poppy Parade Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Bermuda Bay, Lovely Lipstick, Blackberry Bliss

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.

I hope you find this helpful, I and I hope some of these combinations inspire you.  Please save any (or all of these) to Pinterest for future reference. To follow me on Pinterest, please click here: follow me on Pinterest.
