Ever wish you had a go-to tool to help you pick the perfect colors for your cards, scrapbook layouts, or paper projects? Say hello to your new best friend—the Color Coach! In this week’s Friday Freebie, I’m sharing how to create a custom Color Coach using Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous cardstock swatches.
Whether you’re new to paper crafting or have a rainbow of scraps in your stash, this project is going to inspire your creativity and make color pairing a breeze.
🎨 What Is a Color Coach?
A Color Coach is a visual tool that shows you how Stampin’ Up!’s colors work together. It includes individual swatches of each color, along with suggested color combinations that take the guesswork out of designing your projects.
✂️ How I Made Mine
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through each step:
- Where I printed the Color Coach: Office Depot. Use code SPING20 for 20% off your printing project.
- Cutting it down to size: Cut your cardstock to 3 1/4″ X 4″
- Adding the swatches: Just punch a whole in the corner and use a 3-ring rings to hold them.
- Laminating it all: I used my favorite QFun Laminator and 3M Thermal Laminating Sleeves to make everything durable and long-lasting.
Laminating your swatches makes them sturdy, wipeable, and ideal for keeping at your crafting table without worrying about wear and tear!
