Patterned Paper Blog Hop
Hello!
It’s that time again….time for the monthly DeNami Design blog hop! This month it’s all about patterned paper and I gave people the option on whether they wanted to use printed paper or create their own patterned paper. While I’m a HUGE fan of printed paper, I decided to go the route of creating my own today.
If you started the hop from the beginning, you should be arriving from Barb’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can head on over to the DeNami blog for the complete listing of the designers participating.
I wanted to create a unique paper, so I pulled out tons of different stamps and went to town playing with my options. For some reason the crosshatch circle really stood out to me {pictured below}, so I used that as my starting point. I started adding stitched using a marker and shortly thereafter, came up with my paper.
Now let’s move onto my card. Thanks to my growing collection of colored ink pads, this card was a cinch to put together!
I couldn’t resist- I just had to add some yellow chevron twill ribbon to this card! It added a little extra pop of color and well, you all know I’m pretty much addicted to this stuff. In the picture below, you can get a closer peek at my handstamped paper. Don’t look too closely though, you’ll see some imperfections!
I know there are still quite a few stops left on the blog hop, so I’ll let you go. Your next stop is Stacy’s blog! Be sure to stop by all of the blogs and leave comments- we’re giving away gift certificates to three lucky people!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope I inspired you to create some of your own patterned paper. Warning: if you start creating some, it can be highly addictive! Now I’m finding myself looking at ALL of my stamps as possible targets to be used on some future paper. *wink*

Your handstamped patterned paper is absolutely FABULOUS, Paulina!!!! Love your color combo too (as always)!!!! And you’re totally making me feel like I NEED some of that chevron twill ribbon!!!!!
Love this card, and the beautiful colors. You are really inspiring me. Ty
What an absolutely adorable card. Sweet and fun!
Great background. In that whole set, you picked a stamp that doesn’t normally stand out and used it as a springboard for something totally new. Clever. I just picked up the frame stamp and I’m really to play.
I just LOVE this card! I have to admit, when I first looked at it, I was confused. Confused because I thought you were creating your own patterned paper and then I realized by looking at the picture of the stamps that you in fact DID create that PERFECT patterned paper background! BEAUTIFUL!
Wow — you’ve done a fabulous job! Thanks for sharing your process too.
Great project! I love how you made your own patterns. I’m #19 in the hop!! hop by when you can!
