STAMPIN’ UP!® COLOR-MATCH VALUES

STAMPIN’ UP!® COLOR-MATCH VALUES
The following are color-matched values for Stampin’ Up!®’s exclusive colors. This list includes the nine colors retired in 2005. You can use these values to color-match scrapbook journaling, to create a custom sentiment inside of a card, or to create a color-coordinated element for a hand-stamped party favor. Remember when printing on vellum that it is best to print in a DARK color, layering your vellum over a lighter color. When printing on cardstock, you may wish to try different color combinations to achieve either dramatic or subtle effects, just as you would with your stamping.For those who don't know how to do this: Open Microsoft Word. Type desired text in your selected Stampin’ Up!® font & highlight. To change the font color, choose FORMAT from the top menu bar. Select FONT, then FONT COLOR. Select MORE COLORS, then choose CUSTOM. You will find a place to enter R, G, and B "values" for the color mixing. Print your text on your printer and compare to your cardstock ring to ensure they match.

It's all About the Queen

New Copic Colors

You may have heard rumors on the internet this Spring about new colors coming from Copic.The rumors are true and confirmed!!Copic is coming out with 12 new colors, available in Sketch and Various ink only. This will bring the total to a whopping 334 colors of markers available. Wow! That's a lot of choices.They are NOT available for purchase...(yet)...just keep reading...

The fabulous new colors are:

COPIC Sketch BV0000 Pale Thistle

COPIC Sketch V0000 Rose Quartz

COPIC Sketch RV0000 Evening Primrose

COPIC Sketch R0000 Pink Beryl

COPIC Sketch YR0000 Pale Chiffon

COPIC Sketch Y0000 Yellow Fluorite

COPIC Sketch YG0000 Lily White

COPIC Sketch G0000 Crystal Opal

COPIC Sketch BG0000 Snow Green

COPIC Sketch B0000 Pale Celestine

COPIC Sketch C00 Cool Gray 00

COPIC Sketch W00 Warm Gray 00

Then the question comes, What do I do with all those super pale colors?Well, I know that our design team will love the pale yellow (Y0000) and pale blue (B0000) , as they have been making their own markers in these colors right now. The color "Snow Green" is perfect for...well...snow. That pale red is going to be great for subtle, rosy cheeks, and I would use YR0000 for a pale skin color. Once I get my hands on these I'll try to color something and use these soft colors (see, I can't even play with them yet!! my patience is wearing thin...)So when will they be available??!!!Soon. I know you want them NOW. It is very hard to know exactly when the boat is coming over from Japan, but the first few may arrive in time for an Anime Expo sneak peek (July 2-5, Los Angeles Convention Center)
I will be placing an order for any that want them in their club after they finish the ones they are doing.
Have a great weekend,
Ciao,

new Spica colors

Here are the new atyou Spica colors. I love the new pastel sparles. As usuale if click on the chart you can see the colors much better.

Filling a marker with ink & nib styles

Here are the steps to take to fill a Sketch marker with Various ink.
First you want to remove the nib with your fingers, or with tweezers.
Remove the cap off your various ink bottle & attach the booster needle. Carefully remove the protective cap & insert the needle into your marker.

You will feel some resistance, but go ahead & continue to push the needle into the sponge. Squeeze the ink bottle until the appropriate amount of ink is in the marker. The following are empty marker maximum fill amounts;
Sketch 4cc
Copic 5 cc
Wide 6 cc
Try not to overfill your marker, but if you do, you can use rubbing alcohol to wipe everything clean. Replace the marker nib in the direction shown printed on the marker. Color will begin to appear on the nib in a few minutes. Replace the marker cap. Thoroughly clean the booster needle with Copic colorless blender or rubbing alcohol. Replace your protective cap & replace the cap on your various ink.

Nibs come in various styles;

Starting on the left side & going down you'll see nib #1 which is the Standard Broad style. #2 is a Soft Broad, #3 Caligraphy 5 mm, #4 is a Round nib & #5 is what's called a Brush.
Then begining on the right & going down you see #1)Stand fine, #2 Super fine, #3 a Semi Broad, & #4 the Caligraphy 3mm.

Set Sketch 144

Keep in mind colors don't always match when it comes to the human eye & printers & monitors all have different red, yellow & blue hues to them, but here is a set of 144colors that Copic makes in markers.
