More Color Combinations with Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper

Stampin’ Up!’s January-February Sale-a-Bration event ends tomorrow, so I wanted to make sure I shared some additional Color Combinations with my favorite (and most used) Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.

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. The rich colors and beautiful patterns in the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper are perfect throughout the year. I didn’t expect to love these pages as much as I did, and I’m excited to share a bit more about these papers today.

I often pull my colors right from the Designer Series Papers as a starter. That’s a huge benefit of Stampin’ Up!’s 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 Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper:

Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, Stampin Up!,160833The flowers are beautiful, but there non-floral patterns are also pretty wonderful – how beautiful are these pages?! I love the mix of soft and bold colors – you’ll want these papers on-hand throughout the year. There’s something in this pack of papers for everyone. The Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper pack includes Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia and Petal Pink.

Inspiration

I have really enjoyed working with the pages in the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper – I never expected to love them so much. The colors, imagery and patterns in the papers are so rich and beautiful! Here are some of my projects with the pages from the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper (you can click on each photo to read the original post about each project):

You can tell I really love these papers, right? All of these pages are really beautiful and easy to play with – and don’t get me started on those colors! Today I’m going to share a couple more suggestions for pulling these colors right from the patterns in the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper.

Straight from the Papers

These colors are combined from the colors exclusively in the Favored Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper – such a great variety of colors in this pack of papers:

Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Basic Black Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Fresh Freesia, Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen

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 - Fresh Freesia, Calypso Coral, Starry Sky Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Merry Merlot, Blackberry Bliss, Evening Evergreen Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso

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 Favored Flowers Designer Series Papers coordinate so well with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle (by design). If you love these papers as much as I do, I hope you’ll take a look at the bundle:

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.

Thanks for stopping by today!
