Pairing Colors with the Sunshine Vibes Bundle

While the Sunshine Vibes Bundle is versatile enough to work with essentially any color scheme you come up with, the overall eclectic and bohemian style begs for a richer color combination for your crafts. Starting on a solid foundation of softer pink and slightly desaturated yellow, then adding in touches of deep rusty red and earthy greens and blues, will give you the rainbow-in-the-desert energy this stamp and die set gives off.

Tips for Crafting Projects with the Sunshine Vibes Bundle

Now that we’ve got some color inspiration based on our sweet Sunshine Vibes Bundle, let’s cover some other helpful tips for crafting with coordinated colors and this or any other favorite stamp and die set from Stampin’ Up!

Start with the basics. When you get a new set of stamps and dies, like the Sunshine Vibes Bundle, it’s a good idea to practice stamping and cutting out the dies before going all out on a project.
  • Study a little color theory. Trust us—it’s not as intimidating as it sounds! Just check out this post for some excellent foundational knowledge and your confidence in choosing the best color combos for crafts will skyrocket.
  • When in doubt, cheat. Well, to be fair, it’s not cheating at all! It’s just cleverly using the resources at your fingertips—things like a working color wheel, marker sets in coordinated colors, and patterned papers carefully designed to complement one another in style and color.
  • Start with the basics. When you get a new set of stamps and dies, like the Sunshine Vibes Bundle, it’s a good idea to practice stamping and cutting out the dies before going all out on a project. See how much ink you like on your stamps, try cutting your dies at an angle so the paper doesn’t slip—then go to work on your handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, home decor, and more.
  • Get creative. Maybe it sounds like a “no duh” but don’t be afraid to go beyond the basics once they’re mastered! Try creating your own Welcome Summer banner, tags for gift bags, lunch box notes, and bookmarks with your stamps and die cut rainbows.
  • Buy in bulk. Sure it’s nice to have plenty of your favorite materials at the ready, but what we really mean is to buy a pack of cardstock you love and find inspiration from the complementary colors in the set. When you’ve got up to 12 coordinating colors staring at you, it’s easy to pick a couple from the pile, knowing they’re bound to go together. Grab an ink pad in a third color from the pack and you’re off to a creatively coordinated start!
  • Save the inspiration. You’ll never be lost if you save inspiration from the pros. Pin this page and follow us on Instagram to see the latest in crafting with coordinated colors!
