What Color Cardstock...

[My3LittleMonkeys]

...do you find you are constantly reaching for?

I don't know if I am in a rut or what...but I seem to go through Chocolate Chip like water! I have come to the conclusion that I like really like a dark base for some reason. In fact, tonight I am sitting here making cards and my colors are: Kraft, Really Rust, and...you guessed it...Chocolate Chip!

I just thought it would be fun to see what others have to say...and perhaps it would inspire me to pick a different color to use for once!

[anniesmom]

I do not have much SU cardstock but I seem to always reach for pink and green. I constantly remind myself to pick another color. Maybe it is because I have made so many cards for younger girls lately.

I lean alot towards the guava and wasabi lately, but will soon be in trouble. Other than that, I always love the Olive and Plum combo ... and Coral with Ruby Red.

I just looked at my gallery, lol, and noticed a lot of pinks and blues, too ... funny you don't realize what colors are your favorites until you look back.

I'm using a lot of kraft cardstock these days. Other than that, anything goes.

Somehow, I end up using So Saffron... I don't even "like" yellow LOL... Actually, I think it's because it's in a few of my favorite DSPs... BTW, does using Chocolate Chip give you a sweet tooth?

I know! I only noticed because it seems I am always ordering CC!

Wow...this is really cool! You all have some color combos I would not have thought of! I am really going to challenge myself to think outside my comfort zone!!

Thanks for the inspiration!!

Hey YOU!!! You know me too well, dontcha??!! LOL

I have a pack of SS DSP you can have if you need it!!

My most used colors are Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and now Kiwi Kiss. I usually pair those with a pink or a red.

[SherryLC05]

Oh, goodness. I use a lot of Chocolate Chip too! Other favorites include Real Red, Old Olive, Regal Rose (although not so much lately) and last year's IN colors. I am still trying to let the new colors grow on me, but I think Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red may become my Go To Colors for the next year.

If I'm using DP I usually choose that first and then decide which CS to go with it. I'm sitting here looking at my DP rack (like those in stores layered on an angle) and I see a big layer of pink and blue. Only a few sheets of the purples. Everything else seems to be about equal.

[inkyimages]

One of my favorite colors is Close to Cocoa because it goes so well with most other colors and is great for layering.

[angel1971]

I seem to be always using pretty in pink, purely pomegranate, close to cocoa, and chocolate chip.

[skerz]

Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue - I love pairing them with so many different colours, and it seems I am always out of them. Thankfully my order just came in and I'm stocked once again!

[berlycece]

For me, it is very seasonal. Now that we are approaching fall, I LOVE Really Rust, Old Olive, & Not Quite Navy.

This summer, I was using a lot of pinks (with chocolate chip sometimes!) and lighter purples.

But if I had to pick my absolute fave's...So Saffron, Always Artichoke, Basic Gray, Not Quite Navy, Elegant Eggplant and Sahara Sand. Guess I'm mostly a rich regal & earth element kinda gal. ;-)

[stitchinstampin]

Real Red.......I love that color!!!

[jdmeeks]

For me it's bashful blue, close to cocoa and pretty in pink!

[gailwoo]

I love choc. chip and pink! Basic grey is a good alternative to black.
Can't wait to try the new SU In colors!

Greens and blues. I use mostly Bazzill, and I seem to be forever buying more green.

[missiowa81]

I, too, like dark card bases, and I tend to use a lot of browns, blacks, and burgundies. I also use a lot more green and orange than I ever thought I would, but the darker/dirty/muted greens and oranges, because they work well with vintage images.

I'm a huge fan of Bazzill, too!

[mrs_hawkins]

I think my most used color is Rose Red, followed by Old Olive, and Chocolate Chip in third.

[girlzclubstampers]

Usually any light blue comes first, then Chocolate Chip!!! I also love to use any DP, really...

[tay0479]

Chocolate Chip is my go to color. I like it much better than black. Anyways, everything is better with chocolate

[KristinaG]

I love the color combos suggested. I tend to use always artichoke and buckaroo blue (or the closest in color to that shade!)

[jkstieber]

Close to Cocoa, Real Red, Rose Red, and Night of Navy are ones I reach for frequently.

[jeanstamping2]

I reach for all the shade of Greens that SU carries. and Green shade in Bazzil Cardstock.

Ooooh, I'm going to have to try this combo!For a while now it seems I'm constantly using Soft Sky.

[isewquilts2]

I'm big on black, usually with real red and white or vanilla. And I have been using a lot of so saffron/bashful blue/pretty in pink/certainly celery combo with the spring fling paper (and cutie pie paper with those colors and red). I get inspired by the designer paper....I let it do the color work for me!

[PinkKimmyChic]

I use lots of Kraft, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, and Green Galore.
