I see the ColorCubes on YouTube (Crafty Al, Taylor, probably others I’m not recalling at the moment) and in posts (mostly FB or IG, but some here), but rarely here anything about the ColorCatalogs (digital). Anybody use her digital products? Better yet, anybody have the full suite and can therefore compare and contrast?

I only have the Cubes, so I can't compare; but I really love them. I've had them for a little over a year now. I struggle with color, so I just pull a card and create. It's awesome.

I have the color cubes and the digital catalogs. I bought the digital ones before the color cubes were announced. I actually think I like them better. They have indexes so you can such by color or theme and it brings up a whole bunch of options. Or you can simply scroll and end up at one you like.

I am seeing some of those same posts. I had already bought the whole shebang a couple of months ago.
And yes, there are loads of color combos out there digitally (Heck, I even have a Pinterest board full) but I am more of a paper touch and feel person, so I may use the cards more.

This is a really interesting discussion. I was tempted to go for the Catalog for space and price concerns, but I am a person who tends to print card sketches and instructions and things like that, so I'm now wondering if the Cubes would work better for me.

I knew I would be unlikely to use the digital files as much. There are tons of places to find color combos, but I don't want to wade through them. With the cards I just pick one or two and make myself choose. It has been a game changer for me.

I got my Color Cubes for my birthday. I'm still not quite sure they were the better choice for me. So far, I seem to mostly be using them "backwards".
I've chosen a color scheme based on patterned papers and then looked for a card to match in order to ensure I made a good choice. I've also replaced one color in a scheme on a card in a remote event and then used them to find schemes with that color to adjust the rest on the card.
That latter use would probably work better with the digital catalog. It's also probably closer to the intended use.
Anybody else ever use them to sort of "bless" a color scheme rather than find one?

If you are on Facebook and can see this group, there is a lady who has been posting a daily card using a different color cube card each day. The group is Share Handmade Kindness and the cardmaker is Jill Periard Caron. www.facebook.com/groups/445176369005366 |
