Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm Gaylynn Martling sharing a few ways to organize your cardstock color swatches to easily choose colors for your creative projects.

Let me guess, you have lots of colored cardstock.  And, you probably pull out sheets to look for color combinations.  What you may be left with are paper sheets that you didn’t use and now you have to put them away again. 

Making swatches from your cardstock helps to visualize color combos easier and quicker, without having to reorganize your cardstock stash. 

I made a course including a full video + a 4-page reference guide download combo. See my tips, tricks and swatch organization in action. Grab the full course (full video + guide).

If you only want the 4-page downloadable and printable PDF reference guide, grab the download only (no full video). (This is included in the full course above.)

Here are two of my swatch projects. I provide other options for swatching cardstock in the lessons above.
These examples are shown with and without an optional ring binder.

This is a preview of my project in a short video. The full video course is linked above.

Here is a closer look at some of my cardstock color swatch projects.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
