[@debmccann3821]

This was an amazing refresher on color wheels and how to use them! Thank you for taking the time to make us all smarter on how to choose new color combinations. (Love the triangle idea for use in our catalog!). Simple techniques, with great colors made amazing cards…thank you for sharing!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

I'm so happy that this information was valuable for you! It is a really great resource to have right inside our catalogs!😁

[@dianemckern4786]

Just watched the replay and I want to thank you for making this color so much more valuable as a tool. Very clear explanation.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Thank you, Diane! I'm thrilled this info is helpful to you - it is a great resource to have right inside the catalog!😊

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Excellent video! You have a wonderful sense of colors! Thanks for sharing tips about adapting the color wheel in the catalog. You are such an excellent teacher!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Thank you, Barbara! I had so much fun figuring out the basics of the color wheel and now I want to learn more! Happy color creating!

[@RoxanneR8375]

Such helpful information on the color wheel. Very creative and unusual color combinations. I also appreciate how you created different style/technique cards to illustrate each concept. I learned a lot more than I expected! 💜🌺💚💛🙂. Thank you!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Roxanne! So happy to hear that you gleaned some useful info about color and simple stamping techniques! Happy creating!😃

[@SusanEder-dl6ux]

Hi Robin, I watched the replay. You do such an awesome job in teaching others how to use any kind of tools. I really got a lot of information from you when I watched you go through the new catalog and now the how to use the new color wheel. It has been very help for me. Thank you for helping understand it more. Keep up the great work!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

I really appreciate your encouragement, Susan! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. Happy creating!😊😊😊

Thank you, Karla!😊😊😊

[@angiedefremery8855]

Robyn, I have watched so many of your videos over the past two years and I absolutely love everything you do. So many of your videos have such an element of teaching to them, such as this color wheel video and your focal point cluster videos. As an educator, math is my thing, I truly believe you should be in the classroom, teaching art, design, and even yearbook. You have such an ability to teach in such a calm, clear manner that I know children anywhere would benefit from you. Thanks for all you share!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hello Angie and thank you so much for your feedback and encouragement. I have an elementary teaching degree which I have used in all kinds of ways but never as a regular classroom teacher. Most recently I was the director of an afterschool dyslexia tutoring program where I trained adults to become tutors for the children we served. So rewarding. I am still tutoring one-on-one, and so blessed at all the opportunities I've had to be an educator like YOU! 😊

For a while I have been wanting to use unexpected colors , as I call them. This teaching will really help me do that. Thank you robin

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Yay! I'm so happy you are exploring unexpected color combos!😁

[@lolatonella823]

[@larainecook6090]

This has been so helpful Robin & loved learning all the techniques you demonstrated ❤

[@reallyrobinstamps]

I'm very happy you enjoyed the simple color projects!😁

[@facsmom]

I have known color theory for years but never understood how to actually do something with it. In using any color palette, even monochromatic and analogous schemes that are close to each other, you have to have a main color used in greater amounts in order to make a design work. You have beautifully and realistically shown that in your cards!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Yay! I'm so thrilled that you saw color theory in action with these card projects - thank you for your feedback!😁😁😁

[@gramtastic1]

Loved the color theory, now it will easier to choose card stock and color choices.🥰

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Agreed. I really enjoyed researching this and applying it to our beloved SU! colors. Thank you!😊

[@christineaddison4727]

Thank you for explaining so clearly how this all works

Yay! That's what I want to hear - thank you for letting me know this info was helpful to you. 😊

[@annecain8273]

Your videos are ALWAYS so informative! I just watched the replay of the walk through the catalog which made it more understandable.....I was so not impressed when I first saw it.....and then watched the wheel vid. they did not teach color theory in Louisiana in the 40's and certainly not in nursing school, so new territory for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

I'm thrilled that you gleaned some new information to help you in card making ! Yay! I appreciate your comment, Anne!😁

[@Katdoll]

Love this color lesson!! Thank you! I am going to have to play with color now

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Yay! Yes, go play with your colors and try out some combos out of your comfort zone. Thank you so much for your sweet comment!😁

[@elvamcnurlin5736]

Thank you for sharing this terrific color theory lesson. I am going to try to use the color wheel to help find inspiration for some colors I don’t use often.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Me too! I struggle to use a few of the colors (have my favorites) and I think the color wheel resource will help me push past my insecurities with some of the colors. I'm so glad this info will help you too, thank you for letting me know!😊

[@marybresnock3518]

A wonderful tutorial. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Mary and thank you! I'm glad this info is valuable to you - I know I learned a lot!😁

[@christines.3784]

Watching the replay from Illinois. You did a great tutorial. I liked how you had ideas for us to make "windows" or "pointers" for our catalog color wheel. Still hoping SU decides to sell the color wheel again. Thanks for an excellent video.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Christine and thank you! I'm so glad you found this content valuable! SU! has promised to produce the color wheel by the end of the year - yay! Where do you live in IL?😁

[@stempelwerkbysandra8058]

Love your color wheel teaching. Great way to get a reminder of these deep buried knowledge from school time (guess I am just old, LOL). Your cards are a blast, as always, Robin ❤

[@gailrodgers3079]

Love the two roses/big flowers! I was on a quilting cruise years ago with Doreen Speckman and we were choosing from the farics that we had bought from home with no clue what the project would be, but we had been told pale, medium and dark. A woman that was working at my table asked Doreen what fabrics she should use. She showed her something like 10 gorgeous (and expensive) fabrics all in t he same print but in different jewel tones, in other words all dark. The first thing Doreen asked was who picked the fabric out. This woman said it was the quilt store lady. She had absolutely NO confidence in herself and her color sense. Even so, she had on clothing that matched well. Unless someone else was dressing her, she had enough color sense to have he clothing coordinating. She needed some color theory, especially since I had gotten my fabric at a 5 and 10 in town with a very small selection of quilting fabrtic. I could barely afford the cruise, much less to buy expencive fabrics for it. Color wheels can help you out, but you have to have the confidence to trust your instincts in the end. If I ever got feeling good enough, I would love to write a quilting book one colors in quilts. There will not be a single color wheel in the book as color wheels completely leave out neutrals, browns, etc. Sorry I talk too much. I do like the cards made with three layers. I had no clue what you were talking about it and had to see you put them together.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Gail and thank you for your color experience story. My mom is a quilter and we have some good discussions about colors and patterns. 😁

Just now got to watch the video....my Internet was not cooperating on Friday, so I didn't get to watch u live 😞 Anyway...I absolutely LOVE the first butterfly card u made and will definitely be trying that technique this week!!

Yay! I'm glad you love the butterfly card and hope you DO give it a try! I'd love to know what color combos you discover on the color wheel!

Watched replay. You could also stamp off your get different shades of one color which I’m sure you know 😀. Nice techniques ~ TFS!

[@nancycrutchfield117]

Oops stamp off your ink lol

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Absolutely! I love stamping off the color - now I know the terminology has to do with the value or saturation of the the color! Love learning new things!😁

Hi from taree Australia

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hello and welcome!😁

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

Robin, I love your work, but I have to use my Misti stamp positioner. I even use it with the red rubber stamps. My hands are too shaky to hold those blocks! Besides, I can touch things up if needed and create multiple sets easier. Sorry about the construction chaos! I was actually forced out of my home when our one bathroom was remodeled. I dpent 3 weeks at Mom's. We had a giant Magnolia tree 🌳 destroy our main water pipe! But now we have a lovely space, and I really appreciate it! If it weren't for the tree, I would still have the old fixtures!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Karen! Stamp positioners are the best! I'm glad that helps you created. Yes, the new bathroom will be worth the chaos at some point...once I forget about the hassle.🤣

[@vickiford7768]

I was wondering if you could tell me how you made your punch holders on the wall? I could use a couple..lol

[@reallyrobinstamps]

2' x 4" plywood covered in fabric. the bars are from IKEA. It is heavy but does a good job holding the punches.

[@sworley1956]

I am new to stamping and I find that when I try to stamp, I never get a good clear stamp. I hear about that You should prepare your polymer stamps first before you start. Is that true? Do you prepare your new stamps before you use them and if so, how?

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hello! I should have addressed this. Honestly, the easiest way is to roughly rub the photopolymer on your skin (like your arm). I also have just rubbed onto my scratch paper until the shine comes off the image.
