Personal notes from Sisterhood of the Traveling Stamps about the Stampin' Write Markers:

Did you know that my Stampin' Write Markers are 8 1/2 years old? I invested in all the colors of markers when I first became a demonstrator. My original purchase markers are still going strong!

These high quality markers from Stampin' Up! not only have saved me time and trouble, but money!!! To date, I calculated what I spent on all the colors of markers to be $1.25 per month. That's only $.04 a day for a whole box of markers. AND my markers are still going strong! Now I call that value!!! These markers are also a tool that I can't live without, just like the Color Coach. [Please note: the Color Coach was redesigned in July 2010. It is still a tool I use everyday in my paper crafting, digital designing, and color combining projects.

I was asked the other day, "What tool can't you live without while you're stamping?"

I love the Color Coach. I grab this necessary tool EVERY time I create a project. I may be CASEing a project or creating my own, but I always have my Color Coach handy to check my Stampin' Up! color combinations. If I am stuck for a color combo I search through the color windows. I sometimes even play a game and spin the wheel really fast about 5 or 6 times and challenge myself to make a project with whatever I color I land on.

[above] I used the Color Coach to find the third color on the following project. I had not used this combo before and was presently surprised. Really Rust, Blush Blossom, Bashful Blue.

 

[above] Here is the section of the Color Coach that I used. Notice that Blush Blossom is not in the wheel selection. From prior experience I know that Blush Blossom and Really Rust are shades of each other and work really well as a "Dynamic Duo."I then chose the third color from the choices of: Mellow Moss, Bashful Blue, Bordering Blue, and Night of Navy.

[above] This combo is kind of "loud," but it actually works, since I reduced each color used by about half of the previous color. Pink Passion, Green Galore, Tempting Turquoise.

 

[above] Here is the section of the Color Coach that I used. Notice that there are 5 colors show and I only used three.

Sheri's tip: I find that using all 5 colors from the Color Coach selection on a project can be very tricky to get a beautiful outcome. Personally, I mix and match 2 and 3 colors at a time. Sometimes 4 colors, but only if it has green as a base color for a flower stem or grass and the 4 colors are the colors of various flowers. Does that make sense?

I'll be featuring some other tools that I can't live without over the next few months, highlighting my favorites and your requests. Please leave a comment below with questions and the tools you want me to showcase.
