DAUBER CASE OPINIONS NEEDED!...

New Dauber Case Templates are coming!  I have finished most of them.  And I have expanded the offerings by adding new colored grid options to the templates!  See the pic at left.

However, I am in a bit of a quandary as to how to finish the In Color, etc. Grids and my indecision is delaying the template releases.  Many of the In Colors have moved to the Core Colors including all of the 11-13 except Lucky Limeade.  Plus the Shimmer Paints have retired. 

So I am asking everyone for their opinions on how they should be done.  Should I remove the Shimmer Paints or leave them in for another year for those who still have them?  Should I remove the In Colors that moved to Core Colors - especially 11-13?  This would leave a lot more blank room for future years.  I could move Lucky Limeade to the "Other" row as there is one blank space there as (shown where it could go on the right of this grid).  The grids currently begin with 10-12 In Colors. 

Please share in the comments section or email me at YourStampTeacher@gmail.com.  I would LOVE to hear your opinions!

TOOL TIP TUESDAY: 2013-2014 RGB & HEX Color Code Charts...

Update:  The broken link for the Hex Codes has been fixed!  Also, both files have been updated to create an error and for formatting.  If you downloaded before June 7, you may want to download the corrected files.  Thanks!

Today I have the files that many of you have been waiting for--the updated RGB and Hex Color Code charts for the 2013-2014 colors!  Using the official RGB codes from My Digital Studio, I have updated my custom handout with the color codes for all our exclusive Stampin' Up! colors including our brand new In Colors.

The RGB codes are great for journaling on scrapbook pages or for personalizing a sentiment for a card on your computer.  Of course, you want the colors to match the Stampin' Up!'s colors of the rest of your project!  My Digital Studio is perfect for this--which is exactly why I love it!  However, maybe you can't invest in our fabulous software just yet, but would still like to match the colors for your fonts in Microsoft Word or other software.  These codes will help you do just that.  I printed mine out and put them in a sheet protector as I use them constantly!  I hope you find it as useful as I do!

Download the RGB code chart by clicking the picture on the left or here:  Marie's SU! RGB Color Codes

Please note that when you view the documents in google, the colors may appear "off".  However when you save it as a copy on your own computer and print it off, they should look fine.

The HEX Color Codes are used for HTML to match the exclusive Stampin' Up! colors on websites, emails, etc.  They are primarily useful for demonstrators which are among many of my readers.  Enjoy!

Please Note:  Demonstrators, please give credit where it is due for the work that went into these handouts.  You may print the copyrighted handouts to share with downline or customers in it's entirety, including my name and contact info, or not at all.  Sorry to have to emphasize that, but I am having a lot of trouble with my work, photos, files, etc., showing up on other blogs with no credit given.  Thanks for understanding!
