Fear Not the Patterned Paper

Are you afraid of patterned paper? Do you look at it and wonder how the heck you are going to match it up, let alone try to add other patterns to the mix?! Well, fear no more. Below are some tips for using patterned paper.

Tips for Choosing & Coordinating Patterned Papers

• Select papers from the same range of the Manufacturer (i.e. Basic Grey has Collections where all the papers match)
• This ensures your papers will match. You may not like some of the combinations together…but they would match!
• Try to mix it up – don’t put all of one design type together – mix it up by using one, two or three different designs
• Use your Eyeball
• Mix and match your patterns to please your eye. Not everyone has the same taste, but you will know what patterns you like together.
• Color Schemes
• You can choose patterns that have colors in the same color family OR
• You can choose patterns that have colors that complement each other (i.e. ones across from each other on the color wheel)

• Use as embellishments - cut out individual elements of a patterned paper to use on your layout or use Sizzix or Cricut to create your own embellishments
• Use strips of patterned paper as a background for a photo or create a basket weave pattern
• Mat your photos on Patterned Paper
• Patchwork – great use of scraps
• Use both sides of double-sided paper by creating flowers or folding the paper so you can see both sides.

See the example below, which combines four (4) types of patterned paper from My Mind's Eye Laundry Line Coastal Collection. If you like the My Mind's Eye Laundry Line Coastal Collection, try this Scrapaholix USA Kit which contains six (6) glitterly Coastal Collections sheets, but coordinating cardstock!
