Patterned Papers: Do YOU have a favorite?
Have you tuned in? There’s still time to join! This week on the Monday Challenge, we’re using patterned papers. This is something that seems to have taken a little bit of a back seat in the mixed media world as we are more likely to use stencils, stamps and ink. There are so many fabulous patterned papers out there that we thought it was about time we put them up front and center!
Once you have made your creation just go ahead and upload it into the linky on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog! We can’t wait to see what you make!
As always, we’re offering a chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp! All YOU need to do is join in with the challenge!
Below are three projects created by the design team, that showcase this weeks theme! You can visit the challenge blog to get all the details and see the amazing cards and projects that the design team has created this week. If you click on each designers name, you’ll be taken directly to their blog where you’ll get more details about their project! Be sure to give these talented ladies some comments!

Some very pretty examples of using patterned papers. Thanks for sharing.
I love patterned paper – and I have A LOT of it – you might call me a collector but I am going to get it out and make a cool card or two for this challenge!!
Great projects! :)
Beautiful projects!
Fabulous projects!
Wonderful creations. I have several different fav pattern papers. My all-time fav pattern paper is Honeycomb pattern. Now that it is Summer I like Patriotic and Nautical theme. Have a Bee-utiful day!

Plaids, polka-dots, stripes, bright colors, fun images…I am a huge FAN of patterned paper!!! This challenge will definitely inspire a ton of fabulous projects! Best of luck to all the participants!
I love, love, love patterned paper…and have a ton of it…but seldom use it! Definitely inspired to actually use it instead of hoarding!
Thanks for taking me back to patterned paper. I have such pretty paper. I need to use it.
Fun projects! Lots of great ideas for patterned paper!
The work of the design team is really fabulous! I love patterned paper, my faves are Bo Bunny and Graphic- 45. I love the vintage, ephemera look and feel these paper designers give to a project.
FABULOUS projects to INSPIRE!!!
I have to confess that patterned paper has taken a back seat at my craft table of late but Fiesta by Kaisercraft is sitting, ready and waiting to play => can’t wait to join this challenge :)
I am super excited to enter my first card making challenge! Always love seeing what everyone else creates :)
I love patterned papers but usually have trouble using them because I can’t figure out what goes together well! Hoping to improve on that soon.
Another great challenge. It’s a good idea because us crafters do like to create our own prints and designs with stamps and ink.
Awesome creations!
I love patterned papers but I feel a pity to use them…crazy me!

Oh I love patterned papers. I do not have favorite because I love all of them when I see them :D :D :D
These are all great projects! I have an absolute tonne of patterned paper and it’s ALL my favorite! LOL
Oh wow! What adorable examples of using patterned papers!!!
My favorite papers include dots/circles. Macarena’s butterfly card creation is so colorful … and I adore Andrea’s sweet paper pins, but Sandra’s use of mixed media elements is off the charts creative!
I have quit a stash, but ends up to make my own BG-papers every time :)
I love pattern paper. Though I never really use it. Just like to hoard it. May be now I will break out some and create something!
Awesome designs! I have tons of patterned paper…….I love my nautical themed ones. I hope there’s time to get in on this challenge. I’ve needed a good reason to use it :)
I use patterned papers on my greeting cards.
I’m always looking for small patterns – large
designs take over the small amount of space
on a card and there’s not a lot of room for
embellishments.
As a declared paper addict, I looooove pattern papers. 6×6 pads have become my favorite for card making, my craft of choice, though I have a ton of 12×12 as well. Currently working with Amy Tangerine’s sketchbook 6×6 pad (a very lucky find of 3 pads for $1, yay!), a package of neutral polka dots and grid from Studio G, and a 12×12 pad, Best of Basic Grey No2. For the last few weeks, I have challenged myself to create with these papers as a starting point, and “shop my stash” for stamps and embellishments to create my own kits. Already had fun creating a couple of projects for the challenge. Cheers!
I love all my romantic and vintage flower patterned paper!!!
Love patterned paper …hard not to collect.
Beautiful!
I love using patterned paper, even if I also like handmade backgrounds.
Fun challenge with great use of papper
When I started crafting I used patterned paper on every single card I made. Right now I use patterned paper much less, but I love make my own envelopes out of the paper. The large 12×12 papers are perfect sized.
Great projects!
Awesome projects!
I have been inspirited to pull out the pattern papers!!
What beautiful inspiration
Such creative work!
Super great Challenge.. I love patterned paper. My favorite is Let’s Polka from Lawn Fawn.Thanks for the Amazing DT Projects!
Pattern Paper the Best! Love your card and techniques!
Beautiful inspiration, I love them all!
Fabulous projects!
Grogeous cards! Love all the creativity and products used on them both! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! :)
I definitely dig out some patterned paper and find new uses for it. I love the stuff so much I hate to cut into it.
Am currently in love with Amy Tan’s papers!!
I need to use up my paper!! Thanks for the challenge
You can’t have too many patterned papers! Thanks for the inspiration and for the opportunity to win blog candy!
