Card Making Color Palette Ideas

Ever find yourself using the same color combinations over and over on your handmade cards? I know I do! I find a color combination I like and then I just return to it again and again. If you are looking for cool card making color palette ideas, keep reading. We've got both ombre color combinations and mixed color combinations to inspire you. 

Mixed Color Palette Ideas for Card Makers

At 12x12 Cardstock Shop we love paper, and that means we love color too. Each week we share a fresh new color palette for card makers to inspire your own creations. These color palettes aren't just for handmade cards. Use these color combo ideas for scrapbook layouts, party decor and more. 

To get the color palettes every week, follow us on Instagram or consider joining our 12x12 Cardstock Shop Facebook group. There you can share what you have created with the weekly color challenges and see what others in the group have made as well. It's a lot of fun and gives you a little push to get out your supplies and have some crafty fun. 

Although we share Encore Textured Cardstock colors, you are welcome to use any cardstock you have on hand to create for the challenges. Dig through your stash and play along with us. 

Here's a few of our past color palette ideas for crafters, but again you can see them all on Instagram or in our 12x12 Cardstock Shop Facebook group.

Ombre Color Platte Ideas for Paper Crafters

If monochromatic color palettes are more your thing, we've got those too!

Design Team Member Michelle created a handy chart with 10 different monochromatic color combinations for cards and scrapbook pages. These ombre color ideas for cards use Bazzill cardstock, but you can find close matches to these colors in many of our cardstock lines. Over on that blog post you can download the color chart so you can have it handy. 

If you prefer to have the work already done for you, we sell many Bazzill Monochromatic Cardstock packs here. 

Save this post so that next time you are stuck in a color rut, you can find a cool new color palette for cards or scrapbook pages. We have over 750 different colors of solid cardstock in our cardstock store!
