I love pattern paper and have tons of 6×6 paper pads. I am trying to use them more in my cardmaking. Any suggestions of youtubers who use a lot of pattern paper or solely pattern paper in their cardmaking? Need some inspiration.

There are very few people who focus on patterned paper. I was going to suggest 2 of the 3 above. (Amalia is a new to me. I'll have to check her out.)
I suspect a lot more people use it than share videos or blog posts - the stamping companies seem to dominate the cardmaking space.
I make about 80% of my cards with patterned paper and die cuts, but I don't have a channel or blog.

I don’t really follow other crafters on YouTube, so I have no recommendations that way.
Like joblackford, I use patterned paper more often than not when making my cards. I do have a blog, though, where I post my cards and other crafts. My signature below is the link.
Hopefully others here who have a blog can give you some additional things to look at, too.

Sorry, scrapnnana, I don't see the link to your blog. What is the name of your blog?

Have you tried looking up videos by putting 6x6 paperpad in the search. Not too long ago I saw one where the lady made a load of cards using a 6x6 paperpad. They all coordinated so nicely. I can't remember what the video was called, as I came across looking for something else.

Thank you, paperaddict.
I know you were looking for videos/YouTubers, but sometimes just seeing photos of card designs (here or elsewhere) gives me ideas.
I don’t think you’ve been participating in the CARDtober challenges, but I would love to see you join in the fun. Just participating last year and this year have really helped me do more with my card making. You can add an additional challenge for yourself: to use the 6x6 pads. They are great for card making.
Like you, I have a ton of those 6x6 pads and need to use them more.

Great suggestions! I follow the first two and really enjoy them  I think I’ve tried following the third person but her hands are too distracting  Video style is usually why I can’t watch someone over actual crafting style  I’m another one that loves the 6X6 pads. I actually might have a slight addiction. Last might I picked up 4 at Tuesday Morning and Hobby Lobby had their brand 50% off so I picked up 4 more there too  |

Through watching some of the videos by Amalia (the third link above) I found the sheetload of cards videos (definitely going to try this one) and then YT suggested Bourbon Creek Crafts - looks like she mostly uses 12x12 patterned paper pads, but this video is for a 6x6. |

Kristie Marcotte, The Best things In Life Are Pink... she is the original 6x6 paper pad lady... I love her video's and how she shows the full process. She uses card sketches and just goes to town.

I was also struggling with this, until my friend who is VERY into stampin' up told me to look up Stampin up DSP or Designer Series Paper. That is what they call it, but whatever, it is still patterned paper to me, lol! So I now follow Kylie B. www.kyliebertucci.com/Plus she has tons of links on her blog to other card makers. Also, she has this really great series called #loveitchopit, which gets you cutting up your patterend paper (works for 6x6 too) and using it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuMxXJvreIcAlso, if you are on pinterest, and just look up Designer Series Paper cards, you get a TON of ideas. I am not into Stampin up, but all that was super helpful for me in using patterend paper for cardmaking. |

One of the youtubers is doing a 6x6 paper pad challenge this year. Bourbon Creek Crafts is part of it so you can find the links through her. I’m just quoting you since you were kind enough to include her link I’m looking forward to watching a lot of different crafters using our beloved paper pads in the challenge paperaddict |

I have the same addiction!
There is a woman who has a blog - only, no YouTube - named Lisa Addesa. Her blog is iminhaven. She does a lot of work for SSS. What I like about her is her CAS style, but she does a lot of paper piecing, with lots of inlaid die cuts and stacking for dimension. She’s inspired me to use my pattern paper with dies and, while time-consuming, I’m really enjoying the challenge of inlay. It’s given me new ideas for using all my 6x6 pads.

After watching hours and hours of many of the YouTubers listed here, I thought I’d add some of my recent patterned paper cards and the pads I pulled the papers from. Those of us in the February scrapping challenge will see them other places, but I don’t think the OP is with us there (yet) This is a $2.99 pack of paper from Tuesday Morning. As always, the colors are better in person! I used the January 2020 sheet load of cards sketch.   |

These are from a really old DCWV pad from 2009  I used the June 2019 sheet load sketch for the clock card. I used the August 2019 sketch for the blue cards. The pp in the banner on the upper right card is from a 6x6 pad but I don’t remember which one. I just thumbed through a bunch of pads until I found the paper I wanted.  |

Last set for now This is a Michaels hot buy pad. They were on sale for $4.99 so I ended up buying four different pads. Of course now I wish I would have bought more since I’m using them   I used sheet load of card sketches February 2020, August 2019 and modified January 2020 (for my sentiment).  |

I. Love. This. Thread. Thank you, paperaddict, for starting it, and thanks to all who posted new ideas. I do looooooove my patterned paper. Spellbinders card kits come with good patterned paper. If you google "Spellbinders 10 cards", you'll find a bunch of 10 cards/1 kit videos with good ideas. |

Video style is usually why I can’t watch someone over actual crafting style
