I really enjoy listening to your process Christy as you explain what you think of the selections of prints in these pads. It helps me with more critical thinking of what goes with what. As I am also a quilter I love paper prints as much as fabric prints too. They are very similar in their aspects as to what are good choices. So thanks for the insight of your decision making and as always you have a keen eye that I truly appreciate!

TFS - I may need to watch several times to feel comfortable layering multiple patterned papers. Plus getting over covering pieces of pretty paper hence the hoarding of them!😅 Have a fabulous weekend!

Your paper videos are so helpful! I am starting to understand how you pick your choices of paper so much more than when I first started watching your videos. Thank you for sharing and explaining how you analyze your paper choices 😊

This is a great video, thank you! I love patterned paper but often get stumped as to what goes with what — now I have a much better idea❤️

I love this video! I love hearing and seeing what you would put together and why and what you wouldn't and why. You are so talented and know just how to explain your processes. This is really going to help me when I am trying to put my own patterned papes together. I really love the shades and patterns of the Mintay paper pad, they are so pretty and versatile. I love all of the content you put out, I find it so useful and motivating. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us. You are such a light to this community and are so needed too. Thank you for doing everything you do to keep your channel going and for being an example and light to others. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! Sending you lots of love and big hugs!

I get stumped on how to use busy patterns on my cards, a video on you making a card or cards with busy patterns would be awesome ! love this video on how to mix and match thank you

Thank you for sharing Christy, I too LOVE me some pattern paper! Please keep sharing these types of videos because I speak for myself when I say I am pattern-paper-mixing challenged! LOL

Hi Christy, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the patterned paper combinations! Such pretty papers!

[pennymeaux]

Your videos are always so informative and makes this hobby so enjoyable, I’m just really starting out. Have you thought about starting a Patreon?

[RamoArt]

You are so good at explaining why you picked a paper pad in the first place and why or how you combine prints. I'd never looked deeper into it than "I like this" and "I don't like this" lol. Do you have a background in design of any kind oraybe decorating?

[denaistephenson]

Question: after you select your patterns how do you put multiple patterns together on a card?

[denaistephenson]

Question:
When purchasing a paper pad do you find buying 2 of the same pad helpful because the more bold prints are often on the same page as the more restful prints?

[lisablaus]

Suggestion- it would have been helpful/easier if you had separated the pages first, then into solids/tonal, scale/size.
