Although I love dies and stamps, sometimes I can't resist the siren call of a cute new scrapbook collection and buy it, meaning to make cards, but I always get stumped when I try! I end up making cards using lots of rectangles and they're kinda boring, so I'm hoping the Peas can recommend some cardmakers who use lots of patterned paper and premade embellishments (stickers, chipboard, ephemera). Stylewise, most of the collections I have are from American Crafts and I'm personally not much into cutesy lines (like Doodlebug). I also love the look of lots of messy layers but can never figure it out for myself. YouTube recommendations are great, but even cardmakers who just post on Instagram are appreciated! TIA!

Kristie Marcotte on YouTube uses patterned paper and embellishments. She’s the best example I can think of for what you want. Here’s a link to her website link |

Thanks for sharing that. I too use pattern paper and very few stamps/dies.

Finding people who aren't sharing stamping and "techniques" is hard. Most of the people I follow who use patterned paper and die cuts mostly use the cute stuff - Jess Crafts, and Scrapbena Creations on YT are my favorites. On IG, if I can recommend myself... I share cute stuff but also non-cute stuff, I do make some of my own "die cuts" with stamps but use a lot of pp and not many techniques. My business account has my cards www.instagram.com/olivemaycards/I also follow someone who makes similar kinds of cards www.instagram.com/katedeignancards/This account might also interest you www.instagram.com/robynsrainbowbrisbane/ |

Try searching "Spellbinders card kit of the month" or "Scrapping for less card kit" on YT - both of those have paper pads included in the kits, so the designers show plenty of examples using pp.
*Scrapping for less has closed up shop, but you can find inspiration from past videos.*
