What IS a Color Coach?
A Color Coach is your personal color consultant for paper crafting! It’s an organized collection of color palettes that reveals stunning combinations you might never have discovered on your own. With your Color Coach in hand, your cards, scrapbook pages, and paper crafts will always feature beautifully coordinated colors without needing to master complex color theory. Keep it in your craft space, and you might even reach for it when planning home décor projects or selecting paint colors for your next room makeover!

You knocked it out of the park again Connie! Brilliant idea and so nice and neat. I have used A LOT of your ideas over many years to get and stay organized, inspired and create more easily. Sincerely, thank you so much!
Thanks for the free download with box this is a cute idea
Thank you so very much! I appreciate the downloads as they will be of great use!!
Happy to help – click the “unsubscribe” link on the emails of the posts received at the very bottom of the emails.
Thank you Connie! You’re the greatest! Will definitely be making this one🥰
Thank you Connie. Will help me a lot when I’m making cards.
Hello, will you be making the Labels for the new Catalog soon?
Lisa, unfortunately I am not.
Hi is Jennifer Olson
can you mail me a box to me in the mail with the card too
I wish I could Jennifer but I don’t offer a service like that. I focus on showing you how to create it yourself.
Sorry Jennifer, I am not able to make and sell these.
Thank you so much for this great too. You are the BEST!
This is great! I am going to punch a hole in the card and add them to a ring!
Is there a way to print just the new in colour coach with of course the new beige? Without having to print all nine pages thank you
Lise, the problem would be that all the cards are different than last year’s color coach because the new In Colors mixed in.
Hello,
Do you have older color coaches you could share with me? I would love to make one of these with older colors.
Oh darn! I don’t. I have deleted the old ones off my computer already.
Connie Is there a link not the QR code to get the Color Coach cards?

Love it. I will have to use it online as we only have a black and white printer now.
Thanks for the cute box idea. Useful for other items in my craft area. Maybe tools like ink blenders.
Have a great summer.
I am color challenged! The color coach you designed will help me do much! I feel like I’ll actually be able to make cards now.
Wondering if anyone has previous color coaches they can share? Would love to have more color combinations to work from. I have a lot of older stampin up products.
Thank you so much!
Laurie
You might google and see if you can track some down. Unfortunately I update mine each year and don’t have copies of the older ones.
I made your box & I am absolutely in love with it! I keep it on my scrap table & use it every time I need to select a color combination. Thank you!!!
Oh that makes me so happy!!!
