More Color Combinations with Plaid Tidings 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 we-need-more-of-this Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper debuted in Stampin’ Up!’s August – December 2020 Mini Catalog, I have shared several projects that showcase different pages in this pack of papers. The pages are filled with gorgeous colors that are perfect for project throughout the year! Who doesn’t love plaid?! 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 Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:

Inspiration

I’ve used the Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper several times in the short time it’s been available to us – it would be impossible NOT to use the gorgeous plaids! Here are some of my projects with the pages from this pack of papers (you can click on each photo to read the original post about each project):

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 Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

Straight from the Papers

These colors are combined from the colors exclusively in this pack of the Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (this is a bit of a challenge since there are so many great colors in these pages):

Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Seaside Spray, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock Stampin' Up! Color Inspiration - Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce

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 - Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Cherry Cobbler, Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Cinnamon Cider, Seaside Spray, Rich Razzleberry

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.
