Today, there is an amazing and exciting new release from Waffle Flower! They are venturing into the world of patterned paper! And honestly, these are like no other patterned paper that I have ever used. Here is just a little bit about why they are so amazing. These are paper pads designed by cardmakers, for cardmakers!
Paper Weight: 80lb Cover
You will need to feel it to see the difference! This is a premium cardstock.
Paper Type: Uncoated Smooth Cardstock
You can stamp on it!
Pattern on 1 side
So that you don’t have to choose between the sides! Try stamping and coloring on the blank side of the paper – we’ve been loving it!
Paper Size: 5.5″x8.5″
This is a half-page of US Letter size. Fold in half to make a standard side-folding A2 sized card; Trim in half to make 2 card fronts for either top-folding or side-folding A2 cards.
As a cherry on top, these paper pads are printed in highest quality right here in the USA.

Love your cards…so happy and bright thanks to this great paper. I am so happy to finally see paper in a size for cardmakers!
Thanks, Nancy! Yes, the size is amazing.
I like patterned paper and find that, for me, it’s best when used in small doses on a card front. That way, my sentiment or element can still shine. Love your cards!
It is always good to have a balance. Thanks, Carol!
Such fantastic cards! Love all the new papers.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks, Jeanne! The papers are amazing!

Love your cards, my fave way is to cut it into hexagons or squares and do patchwork cards
What a neat idea, Angela! I will have to try that.
Love the rainbows. Great cards, great colors. Love the new papers. Thanks for sharing.

Love it all but the rainbow panel die and sentiment set is now SOLD OUT! So sad.
It will come back in stock, Lisa. I know it has been popular.
Gorgeous rainbow paper. I like to use patterned paper on my cards, I sometimes just use it as is, sometimes I like to stencil over it and it adds more texture and interest.

Thanks, Sharon!
Favorite?,! Impossible, but I am so partial to paper piecing I choose the 1st. Then again, the happy birthday on Vellum is cherry on the Sundae! Loving this release, too bad they call it paper, sure looks, acts, and quacks like premium cardstock. Thanks and Please be well!
Yes, far more like cardstock, not regular paper at all. Thanks, Carol!
What fun cards! I love your die cut inlay rainbow card. 🙂 I usually use patterned paper as backgrounds on my cards. I really like how the hello sentiment looks die cut from the rainbow paper; I may have to give that a try with some of the patterned paper I have!
Thanks, Terrie!
