I swear A Cherry on Top used to have a feature where when you clicked on a paper it would show you matching shades of Bazzill cardstock. Apparently that doesn't happen anymore. I have tried color matching at scrapbook.com but it doesn't seem to be very accurate and I can't figure out a way to filter the results to just solid cardstock.
Does anyone know of an online tool that will show matching solid cardstock (any brand, I don't have a specific brand preference) to a selected product? I'm scraping the bottom barrel of anything blue, green, and teal here at home and I had hope to do a lot of scrapbooking while we're stuck at home.  |

On a product page, scroll down and you'll see a table of details, the first of which should be "color match" with little squares of colors. Click on one of the squares. It should take you to another screen that has some fancy thing up at the top that I'm not quite following BUT under that are a bunch of "matching" products, including cardstocks. |

Does the manufacturer offer a coordinating cardstock pack with the collection? If so, perhaps ACOT doesn't list additional Bazzill options for those collections with coordinating cardstock packs available. Also, if the collection is among the influx of pre-order &/or new products received post-Creativation, perhaps the employees simply haven't gotten around to comprising a list of coordinating Bazzill for each product yet. Consider ordering a neutral cardstock or finding coordinating cardstock colors in your existing inventory or at a local big box craft store after your online order arrives.

I was trying to match a pink solid to the collection, but ACOT doesn’t seem to have that option anymore. I went to scrapbook.com and it came up with a jillion matches. I just need 2-3 solid shades that I know will work! |

My stash of cardstock has never been great because I don't use it too often but when I need it I need it. I think I am going to have to just break down and start ordering random shades of blues and greens. Hopefully they'll match stuff here ok. |

I don't remember that feature at ACOT, although you could shop by color.

The online colors are difficult. It depends on their upload and our device. I have a pile of cardstock left over from my LSS Bazzill sales 20 years ago but if I do need something I go to one of the big box stores.

I love it when lines offer a separate pack of matching carrdstock so much easier.

I wonder if you emailed or called them, if they might be able to do some specific colour matching for you and suggest some good options. I miss the coordinated packs of cardstock too.

If you let them know that you want to shop with them, they might be more than willing to help you get color matches. And if they removed that feature, or it has disappeared due to a glitch, knowing that a customer missed it enough to say something might get them to put it back pronto. |

Hi all, this is definitely something that we used to do, but it required a lot of manual work and sort of fell by the wayside recently. We're doing it where we can for new releases ( in this line for example) and hope to step it up again soon. For now we do get regular requests from customers for help matching a specific line - feel free to send us an email and we'd be happy to help out. |
