Has anyone complied a chart with the Stampin' Up papers that most closely match Bazill papers? This would be awesome as I have direct access to Bazill but not S.U.

I would be willing to do so, but I don't have access to swatches from Stampin' Up. If anyone could send me a 1 inch punched circle of each stampin up color, I would be able to take those swatches to Archivers and/or Michael's to match up with what they carry. Then I could do up the spreadsheet.

I actually just ordered a swatch from my SU! demonstrator and planned on trying to match the colors to the Bazzill Fourz Cardstocks that my AC Moore sells. I don't live close enough to M's and we don't even have an Archivers in my state. It should take me a few days, so I'd say that by the end of next week I should have the spreadsheet ready.
I have AC Moore, Michael's and Archivers. I, too, just orderd a swatch ring. So between the 2 of us, we should be able to match the colors nicely.

I talked to Bazzill a couple weeks ago at CHA and was told they've already done the comparisons and they are available on their website. I haven't confirmed it yet.
Thats funny...I was just at their website looking at their new patterned paper collections and didn't see anything similar to a comparsion with SU! cardstock. I even did a search for anything related to SU!, but came back with 0 results. It would be great if they did something like that, we would have the best matches available.
They have matched their cardstock colors to other manufacturer companies like American Craft, Basic Grey, Bella, Blvd, Bo Bunny, etc. They give you a suggestion of cardstock colors that would best match the colors used in the collections. Maybe thats what they meant?
On a side note, I'm almost done comparing the Bazzill Fourz colors(about 50 colors) I got from my local AC Moore with the swatch I got from SU! Some colors don't have a match. I'll have more info and post the chart by mid-week next week.

how fun, I have never tried Bazzill cardstock, but need some new paper, and not really wanting to order online, gonna have to check out michaels paper.
Can't wait to see what you have come up with. I started comparing my SU swatches to the Bazill available at Archiver's. Haven't been able to actually compile the spreadsheet yet. And you are right. Some colors are close and some have no match at all.

Have anyone completed the chart? I just checked Bazzill's site and Stampin' Up is not even listed as a Paper company, and I am truly trying to find a comparison or match chart of sorts.
Thanks. Be well
